Republic vs. Empire Abilities Mirror List

This site has ability lists for each of the four Republic classes: Jedi Knight, Jedi Consular, Smuggler and Trooper. The four Empire classes (Sith Warrior, Sith Inquisitor, Imperial Agent and Bounty Hunter) are almost exact mirrors of their Republic counterparts, and have the same abilities, though with different names and visual effects. The most notable differences are that the Bounty Hunter and Imperial Agent use different weapon types than the Trooper and Smuggler; the Bounty Hunter uses pistols instead of rifles, and the Imperial Agent gets a rifle and vibroknife instead of a pistol, and upgrades to a sniper rifle instead of a scattergun or second pistol.

Below is a list of how the Republic and Empire versions of the class abilities map to each other:
