A dropsuit functioned as a combat-capable enviro-suit designed to breach fortified locations within the vacuum of space. Functioning as both an airtight, combat-optimized set of armor and an independent weapons platform, it incorporated mini-missiles and laser cannons as part of its arsenal.
To locate and eliminate her brother, the Sith Lord Darth Caedus, the Jedi Knight Jaina Solo employed a dropsuit to infiltrate the Imperial Remnant's defenses at Nickel One, situated in the Roche asteroids. On her way to the asteroid, she successfully downed a pair of TIE Starhunters utilizing the suit's integrated weaponry.
