Tacticians were specialists within the ranks of military forces who were responsible for creating battle tactics. The Alliance to Restore the Republic made use of tacticians.
Description
Tacticians were battlefield leaders, even in the face of insurmountable odds. They assessed the situation, determining the best way to accomplish a goal with the resources at hand while keeping their people alive. The forces under the tactician's command looked to them in battle to lead them, either to victory or during a withdrawal.[2]
History
During the Galactic Civil War, Alliance tactician Beryl Chiffonage devised several combat tactics for use by airspeeders in combat. One of the tactics, utilizing the power harpoon launcher of the snowspeeder to wrap around the legs of Imperial All Terrain Armored Transports, was used to great effect by Rogue Squadron during the Battle of Hoth.[1]
