Rebel trooper

A Rebel trooper is a hostile mob armed with blaster pistol that patrol on the planets Alderaan and Hoth.

=Spawning=

Patrols
The number of Rebel troopers spawning in each patrol depends on the local difficulty, with one spawning as a Rebel captain. Patrols occur any time and independently of structures. A patrol will spawn 24 to 48 blocks away from a random player, on the highest solid block. The individual Rebel troopers of a patrol can only spawn at block light level 7 or lower, regardless of sky light.

Outposts
Rebel troopers continually spawn in outposts on the planets Alderaan and Hoth. They may spawn on any valid opaque block as long as the sky light level is 11 or lower, and the block light level is 8 or lower, but can also spawn on grass or sand blocks regardless of block light level.

=Behavior= Rebel troopers are hostile toward players and merchants. They attack by shooting laser beams from their blaster pistols every 3 seconds up to 8 blocks away, and pursue their targets over a long distance of 64 blocks. Taking into account their fast walking pace, they are extremely difficult to shake off as such. Rebel troopers never retaliate against other Rebel troopers or Tusken Raiders. They always seek their assailant when attacked from any distance.

A Rebel trooper's blaster pistol eventually breaks with repeated use, unlike weapons wielded by other mobs. Unarmed Rebel troopers are passive.
