Sith Empire Classes
Bounty Hunter: High-tech weaponry and specialized gadgets are the hallmark of this class. Other than the Sith Warrior, they are often the best choice in combat again Jedi Knights. The Bounty Hunter sometimes engages in seemingly bizarre tactics, making them useful for unexpected attack plans.
