The right Halloween atmosphere for this New Empire Jump Trooper

As it stands, practical problems are always best solved by similarly practical solutions. A large puddle in your way? Step over it. A fence in your path? Vault over it (or chop it down). And if you need to scale a 100ft-tall siege-proof wall or get across a 350-ft wide chasm without any air support, then you know it’s time to call in the Jump Troopers. Outfitted with their iconic JS-9 Jump-Packs, specialized ER-72L Heavy Carbine Rifles, and physical augmentations that made them sturdier than other humans, these specialized troops were well-equipped to assault elevated enemy positions or circumvent otherwise impassable fortifications. On traditional battlegrounds, commanders often employed they are Jump Trooper squads as shock/rapid-assault teams to disorganized enemy units with heavy suppressive fire, or lead raids on their compounds. However, these troops were also exceptionally adept in siege and urban warfare, using their packs to rocket over barricades and traverse across buildings, rendering ground based fighters, mines, and snipers largely ineffective against them. One military tactician even claimed that Jump Troopers were trained to act like a swarm of fire wasps: overwhelming the enemy with the speed and ferocity of their attacks until only multiple blaster-charred bodies remained. Famously, Captain Derrin Pulls of the A.A.F’s 211th Raider Company put it in a much more colorful way: “Just 10 of these jet-jumpers are better trained and equipped than 50 of my best people, and I’d gladly sell them AND their mothers to the Hutts to have a squad like that under my command“ (Captain Pulls was later court-martialed and arrested for attempting to do precisely that while under the influence of a death stick).
