New Republic Rangers, or "Black Berets" (despite the fact that they do not always wear their berets on the battlefield instead opting for the more traditional helmets of the New Republic forces) are highly trained soldiers that operate at their best when unsupervised and behind enemy lines as they fight even dirtier than their enemies (a fact the New Republic Government is not happy about). While often pulled from the New Republic Marines, Black Berets can come from any branch of the military. Black Berets do not have a standard uniform, often wearing a variation of the standard New Repulic Army uniform to better blend in with regular troops on the battlefield.

"Fighting Soldiers from Naboo"
"Fearless souls.....who'll blast you too"
"Now don't you dare.....to call them gay"
"They'll kick your ass ... they're the Black Berets"
:P

Neat concept & execution - I dig how the Overkill head looks with the beret. Very slick!

Nice :-D New Republic military never had much coverage in the books except for their uniforms being described as having been derived from Rebel designs. Alliance Pathfinders http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Alliance_Special_Forces#2nd_Regiment_-_SpecForce_Pathfinders could easily be reorganized into a planetary expedition force.

Cool idea. I like seeing the New Republic military get fleshed out. Now how about some more of your 'Galactic Intelligence: Joint Operations Elite' guys?
