Clone paratrooper/Legends

Clone paratroopers, also known as clone airborne troopers, were clone troopers who were specially-trained for high-altitude drops.

History
Please note: assumption throughout the article is that airborne troopers are another subdivision of MEC troopers, as they wear what appears to be MEC armour, but this may not be the case

This specially trained group of MEC troopers, akin in role to the real-world British SAS or US Navy SEALS, were developed at some point during the Clone Wars and served within the Grand Army of the Republic. At the time, they were involved in fighting against the Separatist Droid Army. In the final days of the Clone Wars, a group of the 212th Attack Battalion deployed clone airborne troopers on the planet Utapau during a battle when General Grievous's base was discovered on that planetoid.

Behind the scenes
In Star Wars: Battlefront II, the clone sharpshooter is wearing MEC armour with a colour scheme similar to that of an airborne trooper, although in the film, the airborne troopers are seen with the standard Republic's DC-15S blaster. Clone Commander Keller wore airborne trooper-style MEC armor.
