501st Trooper Manual:
Designation ARF

Basic Lore:

Advanced Recon Forces (ARF) were often tasked with scouting out the enemy position on the battlefield. Although stealthy and well-trained, recon troopers' duties differed from that of Clone Commandos or Advanced Recon Commandos as their focus was on gathering information about the enemy or carrying out surprise attacks. 

Before the introduction of the AT-RT driver, ARF troopers would often be pressed into service in that capacity. (AT-RTs were removed from the server till we can get them fixed.)

Examples of ARF Jobs: Reconnaissance (Intel gathering of Separatist forces), Patrols (looking for any Hostile movement), and Long Range attacking (Using the sniper they stay at a distance to attack hostiles.)

ARF Equipment:

In terms of equipment, ARF troopers were often provided with standard issue BlasTech Industries DC-15A blaster rifles, DC-15S blaster carbines, and the DC-15X sniper rifle.

In lore, ARF Troops carry grappling hooks with them to scale heights and to get to places that are out of reach. (In events, if you are permitted to use the grapple hook, ask GM to drag you up). They also come equipped with Binoculars (if you press B in game it uses them) to spot droids at a distance. 

DC-15A stats: 250 rpm, 48 dmg

DC-15S stats: 320 rpm, 38 dmg

DC-15X stats: 78 rpm, 185 dmg
