From The LNR Book of Knowledge

Need an AT-ST destroyed? Call a Commando! Need a base blown up? The Commando is the one for you! A true combat specialist, the Commando uses heavy weaponry and demolitions to break through resistance. Whether you prefer to get in close or fight at range, Commandos wreak havoc with their powerful weapons.

Skills:

• Heavy Weapons Combat
• Melee Combat
• Grenades
• Demolitions Techniques

Once you've finished the tutorial, it's a good idea to spend a bit of time exploring Tansarii Point Station and helping the people there with various quests. You'll earn both experience and credits to get yourself started. You can also learn piloting skills while you're here. For grouping experience, Gamma Station is a dungeon designed for levels 1-10 that's only a short space hop away from Tansarii Point Station.

More information on the Commando profession can be found on the SOE SWG Guide Here[1] or on the SWG Bounty Hunter Forum Here.[2]
