A Phase Zero dark trooper is depicted here, equipped with a jump pack.
The jump pack was a type of aerial transportation. It rapidly propelled the user upwards, providing approximately two seconds of air time before initiating a gradual descent. In contrast to jetpacks, jump packs offered limited aerial maneuverability. However, users retained some control over their landing location within a defined area during their descent. These devices were predominantly employed for swift getaways, surprise offensive maneuvers, or rapid traversal across substantial distances. When utilized for extended jumps, these packs launched the wearer at an upward trajectory, followed by a descent towards the ground at a corresponding angle. This technique enabled users to span distances of approximately 20 meters at the jump's apex. Furthermore, jump packs facilitated the attainment of elevated positions, affording the user a tactical advantage. These jump packs were a variant of jet propulsion technology employed by the Galactic Empire's Phase Zero dark troopers. The impact of landing would typically cause leg fractures in an ordinary individual.
Renegade Squadron operatives also utilized some of these devices.
