Clone paratroopers, also known as clone airborne troopers, were clone troopers who were specially-trained for high-altitude drops using special parachutes and equipment.

History

These airborne troopers 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, 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 wore airborne trooper armor, though in the film, the airborne troopers are visible with the standard Republic's DC-15S blaster. Hasbro has released action figures of airborne troopers from the 212th Attack Battalion, the 501st Legion, and the 187th Legion.
