About this mod
A mod that replaces the Sith Trooper Reinforcement with the First Order Elite Trooper (first and last seen as a Hasbro toy marketing the Force Awakens). It doesn't really make too much sense for a Sith Trooper to be running around, but we should expect to see Special Forces
Includes: Elite Troope

Should be Multiplayer Safe but, as with literally any mod for SWBFII, there's always a risk

Description
This mod replaces the Sith Trooper Reinforcement with the First Order Elite Trooper of First Order Special Forces. This design was first and last seen alongside its matching Speeder Bike as a Hasbro toy in the lead up to the Force Awakens back in 2015 (nearly 10 years ago).Replaces Sith Trooper
Bike not included
UPDATE: Fixed lack of detonator-tube on File A's belt.
Description
The Final Order is a separate entity to the First Order, even if they follow the same master in the end, and if that wasn't enough the Sith Troopers should all be on Exegol, and even still they shouldn't allocate whole units to random Stormtrooper units. I figured a similarly striking but more realistic option was in order, and First Order Special Forces has just the solution. While we have limited information on them, they seem perfect fit as a commando type unit, and the Sith Trooper abilities fit well even just for an Elite Scout. Their black armour and distinctive red stripe sure leave a mark, but if you can see them, chances are you're dead (or maybe you're just better?). As for the blaster, with the whole 'Bowcaster' type weapon mounted to the underside of the blaster, I thought that perhaps an experimental version was field-tested by the Elite Troopers and so the weapon remains.
I am considering renaming it to First Order Commando but as that's not at all official it will stay an idea for now.

MORE DETAILS
Text Edits
All mentions of Sith Trooper are replaced with Elite Trooper
The Sith Trooper's description had been modified to better match the Elite Trooper
Oppression Grenade renamed Suppression Grenade to be more thematic
Seeker Tactics renamed Search and Destroy for that classic Video Game Special Forces feel
Combat Rush renamed Paint It Black
Sith Trooper AI names in Offline Modes (such as ST-I4192) prefix changed from ST-I to EC-
(Also changed 2 numbers as easter-eggs)
(The Text Edits are part of the mod itself and currently NOT an add-on)
Blaster Change
The ST-W48's texture has been replaced with a prototype-themed texture, that matches the Elite Trooper
Swapped the red for black
The Texture has Aurebesh letters on both sides, reading "ST-W47" and "Field-Pilot-Weapon" but they're pretty negligible if it's not of interest
The ST-W48's name has been replaced with ST-W47 for that predecessor feel
Extra
In the future I may make a model change that swaps the ST-W48 for an F-11D with the underbarrel 'bowcaster' attachment
I may separate the text edits into their own mod (that would be installed in the same file as the main mod) in the near future
