WEAKNESSES

• Weak: Jumpmaster Armor only provides moderate protection against most threats, being even less protective against more exotic forms of damage
• Aerial: The J-37 Jetpack has good operational endurance but is noisy, while the Hush-About AJP-400 is nearly silent but bulky, heavy, and only capable of holding ten charges before requiring refueling
• High altitude: Jumpmaster Armor is only rated for low altitude operations, and will not provide the warmth or oxygen needed for high altitude flying
• Catastrophic: The use of Jetpacks greatly increases the chances of the suffering catastrophic damage should the jetpack be damaged or destroyed

DESCRIPTION

As an evolution of Scout Trooper Armor, Jumpmaster Armor is designed to aid its user in conducting reconnaissance missions throughout a variety of different terrains, such as forested, mountain and urban environments. To ensure that its users are able to move around with maximum efficiency, Jumpmaster Armor comes equipped with a number of specialized features.

For example, Jumpmaster Armor is designed to be used with either a J-37 Jetpack or Hush-About AJP-400, though each jetpack system brings advantages and disadvantages. The J-37 Jetpack is much more reliable than the Hush-About AJP-400 and has a far larger fuel reserve, while the Hush-About AJP-400 is quieter by a large margin. Both models of Jetpack do add additional weight and bulk to the armor overall, and increase the risk of catastrophic damage should the units be damaged or destroyed, which is why many Jumpmasters elect not to use them at all.

Additionally, Jumpmaster Armor comes equipped with a Climbing Boot and Glove Set, allowing its users to climb and scale most surfaces with ease, along with numerous supplemental storage options, increasing operational endurance. When it comes to scouting, their are few better options available to the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant than Jumpmaster Armor.
