The Z-6 jetpack represented a particular jetpack design that was well-liked among Mandalorian commandos across the galaxy. It was used by structured groups like the Death Watch and more independent Mandalorians, including figures such as Jango and Boba Fett. Known for its speed and agility, the Z-6 was capable of continuous flight and could also provide the user with quick bursts of upward movement, offering a tactical edge in battle. Its maximum vertical reach was seventy meters, and it could be outfitted with a missile that was loaded from the top, capable of being fired like a rocket.
However, even with the tactical benefits offered by the Z-6 jetpack, it was susceptible to damage from impacts. Even a powerful strike from something as simple as a stick could potentially cause the jetpack to ignite. This could lead to numerous functional problems, serious injuries to the user, and even result in death.
