The Alliance military is separated into different "Armies", these are usually made up of the fighting men and women from a particular region, or are formed with a specific task in mind.
The Alliance trooper is the core of the Alliance military. They are a versatile fighting force; and while they lack the skill of the Galactic Marine Corps, they are a very capable fighting force.
Alliance ground actions are usually completed by troopers, supported by more specialist troops. But it's the humble trooper who wins the Alliance's wars.
Armed with the standard issue 7.62x51mm assault rifle; the trooper's kit can be modified to fill their battlefield role.

This is another piece by Hokunin, who did the concept for the Alliance Scout that we showed off last week.
I love the detail that has been worked into this concept. During the design briefing, we were very specific that we wanted the character to be properly armoured. Too often you see female soldiers is sci-fi and fantasy settings who are wearing little more than the "metal bikini".
We want our women to be properly armed and armoured. I particularly like the multitude of pouches she has on her person. There's not going to be many situations on the battlefield that she isn't going to be prepared for.

Thank God the concept art isn't typical sexy armor combat chick, where less armor equals better protection. I like the practical feel of the model, looks similar to what my Marines would go with, after stripping down the BS that gear-qu**rs would slap on.
