Rahm Kota's Militia eliteWhen Jedi Master Rahm Kota was a general in the Clone Wars, he refused to have anything to do with the Clone Army as he never trusted the Clone troopers. Instead, he formed his own unique unit of hardened soldiers which he recruited from local militias, mercenary groups and even Separatist prisoners of war. After Order 66 was issued, most of Kota's soldiers remained loyal to him and accompanied him into hiding.
Elite:
The most elite soldiers of Kota's militia were assigned to heavy weapons duty. They were trusted to the important tasks of providing cover fire for their fellow allies and also defending critical positions during raids. They wore a slightly heavier and more protective armor than the standard troopers but still wore the standard helmet that represented the militia. They carried little equipment or supplies, not even wielding any side-arm blasters and bombs. Instead, their only weapon was a Z-6 rotary blaster cannon, which they used not only in defense of their teammates and positions, but also to inspire fear and confusion in their enemies.
