Name:
Incognito

Rank:
Commander Fox

High Command Authorization:
All

Suggestion Description:
The addition of Red Guards would provide the Republic with an elite bodyguard unit dedicated to protecting Grand General+ personnel, ensuring both immersion and security during roleplay. These Guards would be whitelisted to maintain rarity and prestige, and their role would be strictly tied to escort and protection duties rather than frontline combat. Their loadout would include a Lightsaber Pike featuring a shortened blade with low damage output, designed primarily for defensive presence rather than offensive capability, alongside a T-21 blaster rifle for ranged engagements. To reflect their elite training, they would receive slightly higher health and armor than standard troopers while remaining balanced to prevent them from overshadowing other combat classes. In practice, Red Guards would stand alongside their assigned VIPs, intervening only when their charge is under threat or when given direct orders, reinforcing both roleplay standards and military hierarchy. This implementation ensures that the Guards function as both a ceremonial presence and a meaningful RP driven unit without becoming overpowered or misused.

The Red Guard will be Restricted to Grand General+ or Equivalent.

With this Health and Armor it is Maxed out at 2 Slots and it will take 2 away from Senate Commandos which has a max of 8 Players and take it down to a total of 6 and Red Guard with a Total of 2

Any Senate Commando is able to go on this Job, and become Red Guard whenever a Grand General or Equivalent is On base / Mission

Why add this?:

Royal Guards should be added because they provide a dedicated and prestigious protection unit for Republic High Command, enhancing immersion and reinforcing the authority of top ranking officials. Their presence creates new RP opportunities through escort and ceremonial duties while remaining balanced with limited combat capabilities and strict role restrictions.

+/- neutral.

While it would be cool I feel that letting ALL senate commandos have access to it would be a poor design choice, I would suggest they need specific training before getting the whitelist to Red Guards just based on the loadout itself as I do not personally know the stats of the senate commando job, on top of that in regards to the vibro blade, since they work under the same system as lightsabers you failed to mention what stance they would specifically get, I recommend for its role defensive 1 and versatile 1, gives minor variety for melee encounters rather than relying on just one stance where Jedi are unavailable or not online

honestly only thing i wouldnt really like is the lightsaber bit, i mean we do have other melee weapons that is better fit like electro staffs and such, but other then that i say heck yeah, and even though mr jar jar aint here he does have a point about the whitelist.

maybe it can be more of a cert like what 212th ghost company has for heavy, like have senate commandos be trained and certed first before having the red guard whitelist, and also the loadout seems a bit....small? idk but since the red guard protect more important assets like the chancellor i feel like they need more stuff in their kit.

Red guard are post republic era, they are not featured in clone wars at all. I know we breach lore on the server quite a bit but this is to much. I think something like senate honor guard would be more appropriate.

here are some models for senate guard: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=883643522&searchtext=senate+guard

Im not sure what they look like in game.

To resin

The Red Guard served as Chancellor Palpatine's protectors prior to and throughout the
Clone Wars, a galaxy-widecivil war between the Republic and the Confederacy of Independent Systems. After the Republic's transition into the Galactic Empire was completed by the end of the war in 19 BBY, the Red Guard was reorganized into the Imperial Royal Guard by the newly-appointed Emperor Palpatine.

Very well, I retract my -support and am changing to a +/- support.

That said, I want to point out that the link you provided is from Legends. After looking further into the Senate Guard, it does seem that the Red Guard appears both in Revenge of the Sith and later into the Clone Wars. I’m still on the fence about it, though, since Palpatine has been removed as XHCOM, and they were specifically his personal guard. It doesn’t make much sense for Palpatine’s guard to be protecting anyone but him.

We're going to deny this in it's current form. The way it's being proposing makes it so Senate Commando won't be utilized as much considering any Senate Commando would be able to join a job that has over double the health of the Senate Commando job. A job like this should have some kind of training or certification.
