Rebel Alliance support staff included Rebel Alliance technicians, often referred to as Rebel technicians, or ground tech. These technicians were part of the Alliance to Restore the Republic and were responsible for the upkeep of technical assets, including starfighters and droids. Furthermore, they operated personnel carriers, which they affectionately called "chariots." Their attire consisted of light tan or light gray boilersuits, along with an Alliance service helmet variant equipped with a comlink but lacking a visor. While typically not frontline combatants, these technicians received combat training and were capable of fighting when required.
