Jumptroopers, otherwise known as skytroopers, rocket troopers, or air assault troopers, were a variant of stormtrooper trained in airborne environments such as Bespin's Cloud City, or assigned to battlefields with treacherous terrain. They were heavily armed with various projectile launchers or heavy blaster rifles.
They drew inspiration from the Galactic Republic's Rocket-Jumper Elite Advance Unit, an elite soldier trained in the use of airborne assaults, or the Grand Army of the Republic's Clone Jet Troopers. Decades after the Battle of Endor, they continued to be used by Supreme Commander Gilad Pellaeon's Imperial Remnant.
