I watched the new Battlefront II trailer today, and the main character was a "Stormtrooper", as they state. It is enforced they are special ops. They appear to be simlar in appearance to an AT-AT driver. This is the description of the trailer:
Live the untold Star Wars story of Iden, an elite Stormtrooper, in an original single-player story. Battle on land and in space in an expanded multiplayer experience with iconic heroes and villains, thrilling space battles, and a deep progression and customization system.
