Clone jetpack trooper

Clone jetpack troopers or clone jet troopers were a variant of clone trooper trained for aerial combat, most commonly through the use of the JT-12 jetpack. Clone jetpack troopers were present during the First Battle of Geonosis as well as the Battle of Cato Neimoidia and Battle of Anaxes. The 501st Legion had jetpack troopers within its ranks, the armor of the troopers was marked in blue to designate their unit affiliation. Following the execution of Order 66, the transformation of the Republic into the Empire and the phasing out of clones in favor of stormtroopers, the jetpack troopers were replaced by jumptroopers.
