MARKSMAN
A sniper, or sharpshooter, was an individual trained to shoot an opponent from a distance, often hundreds to a thousand meters away, and often from a concealed location. Patience, steady aim, and cunning were some of the attributes that were needed for a sniper. Stealth was a sniper's greatest asset.
Snipers could be soldiers who remove important opposition personnel and targets of opportunity in times of war, mercenary assassins who kill unwitting marks from a distance, or part of a security force trained as counter-snipers to protect important social or political figures.
Snipers were employed as combat units during numerous galactic conflicts such as the Great Galactic War, the Cold War, the Clone Wars, and the Galactic Civil War. These units included specialized Sith Imperial agents, clone sharpshooters, assassin droids, Rebel Marksmans, and Galactic Imperial scout troopers. Some of these snipers were equipped with recon droids for scouting and calling down orbital bombardment. The Rebel SpecForce also hired snipers such as Myn Donos, who went on to become a member of Wraith Squadron, and referred to their snipers as "TK"s, short for "telekinesis," because of their ability to invisibly "touch" their target from great distances.

Perk A - Mark Expert: All allies of the Marksman who attack his Marked Target gain +3 to critical hit and +3 to critical multiplier.
Perk B - Bleeding Shot: If Marksman damages organic target's health points, the target suffers bleeding wound. This damage continues to be inflicted directly on health points over time. Bleeding lasts 10 rounds, and each turn inflicts 20% of the damage that the bleeding is caused with (of the damage done to health points with first shot). Bleeding Shot stacks with itself.
Perk C - Invisible Shot: When Marksman fires from stealth it is difficult to detect the direction from where his shot came, he remains in stealth unless he is detected by the target he is shooting at. The target must success awareness check against Marksman's stealth check. Every shot fired from stealth gains +5 to attack.
