A class consists of a unit's loadout and defines its role in the battlefront. Star Wars Battlefront III is split into the following classes:
All classes are immediately available and do not require star points to unlock. The medals system from the previous game is replaced with a level system. The more star points a player acquires in one life, the more upgrades they receive for the class they are using. These upgrades last for the duration of the match. There are five level rewards:
- Secondary Weapon
- Secondary Throwable
- Weapon Upgrade
- Weapon Upgrade
- Proximity Power-up
*These classes were changed in late 2008, however details are limited.
