Rakatan Warriors were members of the Rakata species who served as front line troops in the Army of the Neo-Infinite Empire. Some of the best troops in the Empire's armies, Rakatan Warriors were skilled in hand-to-hand combat, marksmanship, and in usage of the dark side of the Force. They served as advanced infantry in the Army and were more common on worlds of the Unknown Regions, where they served as the main security guards. Among regular Army units, which mainly consisted of non-Rakata soldiers, Rakatan Warriors were rarer and acted as special forces. They typically fought with the same blaster weapons as the Crusader infantrymen, but also carried metal spears or, on occasion, lightsabers. Rakatan Warriors also wore armor made of a hard metallic substance that was more resistant to lasers than that worn by regular soldiers.

Since the Emperors of the Rakata regarded members of their species more than others, they were more reserved about using them on the battlefield.
