Desc.: back mounted maneuvering jets, dropped by the commander.


Use: high mobility – the marine can ride the column of propulsion for rapid movement in any direction.


Data: Jet Packs are still being refined, but so far have proven very valuable for evading enemy attacks, or rapid travel through otherwise inaccessible areas of the battlefield (ceiling vents, etc.). The power source is a rechargeable chemical catalyst battery, that spins the ram jets and creates two columns of super-heated air. The battery can recharge with the tiniest jolt from the command network – a fast process, but the marine must land to initiate it. Watch the jetpack energy meter on your HUD to know when to recharge. Running out of energy high above the ground is ill-advised.
