Dewback Riders, alternatively referred to as Dewback troopers, were sandtroopers who rode dewbacks as their chosen mode of transportation. To govern these creatures, they employed electrical shocks, compelling them to forcefully breach the possessions of individuals who stood against the Galactic Empire. Moreover, Dewback troopers had a reputation for employing flamethrowers such as the CR-24 Flame Rifle. Furthermore, they were equipped with weapons like the T-21 light repeating blaster, or the RT-97C heavy blaster rifle.
