Jump Trooper

Jump Troopers are a division of Military aerial units used by Starwatch.

Origins
The Jump Trooper division of Starwatch, originally A.D.U. Jump Troopers, were formed during the Trans-Galactic War, inspired by Imperial Aerial Troopers, to assault Imperial forces on the surfaces of planets. After the war was over, they were integrated into Starwatch, and continued their purpose during the involvement in the Great Titanian Civil War.

Organization
Organized like standard divisions, Jump Troopers consist of enlisted and officer ranks. Jump Trooper officers lead troopers into battle, while higher command personnel stay within dropships or other cruisers and to give orders and provide support. Astro Marines would often function as Jump Trooper officers. Jump Troopers answer to Navy officers unless told otherwise.

Equipment
Jump Troopers are all armored in similar Imperialite exosuits, all dull grey in color, with their unit insignia painted on their shoulder plates, which also sport orange lights. Jump Trooper exosuits bear pilot-like helmets and detachable thruster packs, along with built-in stabilizers. Like other standard armor, Jump Trooper exosuits are fully sealed and pressurized, equipped with self-repairing tech, medical support systems, communicators, flares, respirators, and nutrient tubes. Within their helmets are advanced HUD interfaces that aid in combat and aerial maneuvers. Outlets for energy overloads and anti-nanite systems are also implemented in their armor, and the Imperialite build gives them some resistance to magic and other supernatural attacks. Current models are compactable, and able to fold up into metal vambraces worn with BDUs, although previous models had to be equipped manually. Current models may also be equipped manually if the need arises. Jump Troopers carry Marine-5 Energy Rifles.

Dress uniforms for Jump Troopers consist of grey formal tunics with standing collars displaying rank, caps with a yellow insignia, black trousers with a silver line on the side of the legs, a belt with a Starwatch insignia, ribbons on the left chest area, and black boots. BDUs, worn beneath their exosuits, consist of light insulated laserproof grey gear, with a slightly thicker chest area colored black, combat boots, black gloves, and Imperialite vambraces, which is where their exosuits can be deployed from.
