Trooper
Overview
"Every Great House of the Landsraad fields its own standing army or House Guard, and the backbone of these formations are career soldiers known as troopers."
Troopers are one of the training disciplines available for characters to begin as in Dune: Awakening, or to learn later on through gameplay. This line of training encourages offense & demolition tactics.[1] The Trooper uses a combination of various ranged weaponry with suspensor technology and weapons to shape the battlefield to maximum effect.
