 * Jump trooper
 * Imperial jumptrooper

Jumptroopers, also known as Imperial jump troopers, were specialized stormtroopers utilized by the Galactic Empire during the Galactic Civil War. They could be equiped with either a jetpack or a jump pack.

Overview and equipment
The Jumptroopers of the Galactic Empire used tactics similar to their clone predecessors to bound over walls to attack enemy turrets directly. Jumptroopers were skilled in the use of jetpacks, jump packs, and burst shields. They were each equipped with RT-97C heavy blaster rifle and a personal shield generator. Jumptroopers were equipped with the standard Stormtrooper armor, but could also wear a specialized armor that included a mechanism attached to two tubes plugged into the helmet, similar to a TIE pilot's control box.

Behind the scenes
Jump troopers first appeared in the 1993 video game Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back as airtroopers. On April 25, 2014 the Star Wars Expanded Universe, including Super Star Wars: The Empire Strikes Back, was declared non-canon and re branded as Star Wars Legends. The jump troopers were later introduced into canon in the 2014 mobile game Star Wars: Commander, appearing similar to the jump troopers seen in the Legends video game Star Wars: The Force Unleashed.
