Dug soldiers, alternatively called Dug cavaliers, were Dug warriors who fought for the Dug Council on the planet Malastare during the Clone Wars. These soldiers rode insectomorphs as mounts in combat and wielded a specific kind of electrostaff. Furthermore, they employed Dug debris loaders as a form of artillery. In the Battle of Malastare, Dug cavaliers were allies of the Galactic Republic.
