We held a training exercise on Tython, no non participants were killed, however Shawn got shot because one PVT mistook him for a different trooper that also had a CC that showed up as an error. The troopers were all respectful of the planet and did this quite a distance away from the temple near the warp. There were 8 participants in all and the DA was inadequate for the training we wanted to do. As captain I take responsibility for any flaws in my training exercise but it was not baseless, and definitely not just RDM. When we were told to stop fighting in front of the temple I jokingly said, "Everyone to the back of the temple". People are constantly fighting in front of the temple, troopers should not be excluded from this. We have training needs as well and at the time of this happening there were more troopers on than Jedi. Not to mention at a different point a council member himself participated in this exercise with my men. These allegations are baseless and fraudulent through and through.
To your point about removing troopers, the troopers provide a nice balance to the game, it adds a faction that allows people to participate in unique events and gameplay mechanics that they don't get as Jedi. Concurrently, a lot of players do not like the Saber Dueling in JvS and adding blasters allows for the server to increase it's player base. In a time when the server is experiencing reduced player numbers, excluding the factions that contain a large percentage of the active players is shortsighted and ill advised.
Shawn you clearly have an issue with people doing things that aren't exactly what you want. Getting pissed off because troopers are shooting in front of the temple and having fun during DT is childish.
For all these reasons I say

your boys lack discipline
this is how RT dies every time as eventually people say they minge even with an organized training.
shooting through the library shelves is exploiting a glitch and I do not think a well trained commander would order his troops to do so and killing Jedi in the process...
RT is key to THE success of Jedi and REBORN
raiding Tython and only seeing one or two masters it seemed would be easy....well I was the only one who scrolled down and saw 8 troopers....it was too late as the raiding party already warped.
when I arrived two Padawans already fell and a master was escaping into the temple.
then came the Republic Troopers pouring out of the temple...all together organized...focusing on one target and shooting in cadence. I forced jumped over all of them seeing their commander on the steps. like a flock of geese they all turned back to fight me and surrounded me as I was fighting a master.....i had no chance....
RT is my favourite as they can act freely using intuition and common sense over feeling the force.
but they are vulnerable to disapearing without good leadership
-1 The hardest position in Reborn is trooper in the Republic
