STRENGTHS
- Versatile: The boots can function and be used in a variety of environments
- Weapons: 12 whistling birds are hidden in the soles of the boots for the wearer to use in emergencies.
- Stealth: With muffled soles and a pair of repulsor lifts built in, the boots can be used for stealthy situations.
- Flight: With small ion engines built in, the boots are capable of flight, hovering and long jumps.
WEAKNESSES
- Power: While the jump function can be used plenty of times, even in short bursts, the flying or hovering feature eats battery life and dramatically shortens operation time.
- Balance: The boots take training to get used to, and the wearer can be knocked off balance easily under the right circumstances.
- Stealth: Despite the backup features, strong enough sensors and alarms will still be able to pick up the boots.
- Ammunition: After the missiles are fired, the boots need to be opened up and each new warhead needs to be individually slotted into their tiny tubes.
DESCRIPTION
Small and agile, the ‘Halo’ jump boots are designed to be a stealthy and quiet alternative to loud and bulky jetpacks. While they lack the versatility of a typical jetpack, they make up for it in response time and compactibility. The boots are also designed for stealth operations and don’t give off much noise or sensor profile when used correctly.
The boots also have some emergency combat capability in the form of small armour piercing missiles, practically identical in design, operation and usage to “whistling birds” used by Mandalorians, though the missiles are usually made from Duranium to save on costs. Though they are still highly capable of piercing typical armour and giving the receiving party an explosive surprise.
