Stargate Operative

The Rebel Alliance Stargate team is a secret even amongst their own forces.  Only those selected for Stargate duty and a few members of Alliance High Command know about this secret operation.  Most of the operative selected for the Stargate are transferred from Special Ops teams.  Pathfinders and Scouts are the most common troops on a Stargate Team, although a wide range of skills are needed hence the inclusion of Soldier and techs on the team.  Each Stargate team usually operates with between four to six individuals.  Due to the nature of their assignments, scouting new planets in distant galaxies, Stragate operatives need to be resourceful and resiliant.
