Clone jet trooper



A jet trooper was any clone trooper equipped with a jetpack that had gone through special training for use with such equipment.

They utilized their limited flight jetpacks to cover great distances very quickly and gain aerial advantage over their enemies. Jet troopers would generally use DC-15 blasters, because of their light weight, and their ease of handling.

The agility of the flying jet trooper made him very hard to hit, especially under a commander such as Commander Cody, who would use jetpacks frequently in missions with his battalion.

Another group of famous jet troopers were the Sky Corps.

The jet troopers most likely evolved into the airtroopers of the Galactic Empire.

Behind the scenes

 * The video game Star Wars: Battlefront portrays jet troopers with a jetpack similar to Jango Fett's and a giant EMP launcher. It is possible that this type of clone trooper could be a first-generation jet trooper; however, due to Battlefront's tendency to go against official canon, this is unlikely.


 * LucasArts designed the clone blaze trooper, a division of the jet trooper, after looking at the concept art for the jet trooper.
