• 
  [+] Well trained and equipped to handle Force Users.

Description:

The Nightstalkers is a special operations unit comprised entirely of wookiee volunteers, operating both locally within the Kashyyyk system and abroad. The unit came into existence as the Silver Jedi first helped the Kashyyykian government overhaul their defense forces in the face of constant raids by pirates and slavers.

Nightstalkers specialize in irregular warfare, foreign internal defense, tracking, reconnaissance, and the training of indigenous forces, with a focus on jungle and forest environments. Wookiee physiology helps them excel in such environments, allowing them to move quickly and silently both through trees or on the ground. As they are expected to encounter hostile Force Users on a regular basis operating alongside the Silver Jedi, they are instructed in the ways of Teräs Käsi to become skilled in martial arts and to better protect their minds against detection and influence.

Each Nightstalker unit is loosely organized into platoons of 40, augmented by a small number of droids used for reconnaissance and/or tracking purposes. Multiple platoons may operate within the same battlespace, but it’s rare to see more than about a company’s (160) worth of Nightstalkers gathered in any one area.

Availability: Unique

Each Nightstalker unit is loosely organized into platoons of 40

You've labeled the unit as "unique" the following is the descriptor for the unique option for units:

Unique are one off variants of the other types and have special features that makes them one of a kind. More powerful units are not as common, and specific named units are unique.]

Because of that descriptor having the unit be organized in platoons of 40 this reads more like a unit that should be labeled rare. If you would like to keep it at unique please greatly decrease that number to around 6-8.

Also some of the equipment you have on these guys seems to be a lot. You have them wearing Taozin amulets and cloaking devices, then for the squad leader you have them wearing ysalamir, along with cloaking devices and I'm assuming taozin amulets. These are NPCs and that already is a lot for them. Please remove one of those three, suggestion would be the ysalamir.

In keeping with my description of the unit deployment sizes, I bumped up their availability to rare.

Removed the Yasalmir, kept the cloaking device and taozin amulets.
