Bullets and power-cells
- Intent: Give the open market a jetpack.

- Canon Link: Jetpack, Antimatter Reactor
- Permissions:
- Hybrid Antimatter Power Unit - (Open Market, Mass Produced)
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: Niki Priddy, Terminus Rêve, Priddy General Engineering And Manufacturing
- Affiliation: Niki Priddy
- Market Status: Open-Market
- Model: Mandalorian Arms and Armor-006 Helljumper Jetpack
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material:
- Grants the wearer it is attached to limited flight capabilities.
- IR Supressor fitted to the thrust ports reduce the signature of the heat trail produced.
- Hybrid Antimatter Power Unit for power
- 3 magnetic attachment points for smaller gear/containers.
- Distress Strobe built into the left side
+ From Ground to Air + The addition of this system grants the wearer the ability to traverse from the ground to the air with relative ease after some practice. With a sealed suit, one could even go higher into the atmosphere.
+ Zippy + The unit boasts a healthy speed at standard operation. Able to keep pace with even above average starfighters. If safety is not a concern, very high speeds are capable, though one risks losing life and limb in the resulting drag generated.
+ Refuel, Nah + Using a miniaturized Anti-matter reactor, the propulsion of this jetpack is near limitless when paired with the use of heat dispersing materials. A cool down period is advised to ensure the longevity of the thruster assemblies however.
+ Reduced IR signature + Attempting to relieve the flier of the tremendous heat that is applied during prolonged flights. The heat signature becoming smaller and less noticeable but not diminished.
+ Space + Able to even operate in the vacuum of space without the need for oxygen to provide combustion.
- EMP/ION - While able to resist it to marginal degrees thanks to the construction of the unit, sufficient blasts of this energy will shut down the reactor until it can be refilled.
- Explosive - When wearing a jetpack, the risk of volatile eruption is always a chance given one is wearing either combustible fuels, or some other means of propulsion. This variety of explosion however can readily damage an average starfighter, never mind a living being. While boasting a decent amount of armor across the back panel, there are still weak points that could trigger an explosive reaction akin to being hit with starfighter grade weaponry.
- Dust, debris, shrapnel - In a pitched battle, the threat of equipment malfunction varies greatly. This jetpack unit can become inoperable should the propulsion jets inside the thrusters become clogged or damaged requiring removal of the pack and maintenance in field with no guarantee of correcting the technical issues. Covers are advised and provided when not in active use.
- Reduced but Not Gone - The IR suppressors inside the thruster housings does not hide the energy signature of this unit, but does reduce the profile. Making it less noticeable upon scans, appearing as a fast moving avian. Possible to being overshadowed by another device producing significant heat.
- Underwater - The system does not operate underwater and will short out if not completely shut down before being submerged in water. Rain is not an issue, but completely immersion in water while active will result in the failsafe shutdown and the reactor will need to be refueled.
Another addition to the Mandalorian Arms and Armor catalog provided by her contact, the item in question was something of a fun project for Niki. Blending some modern designs with older ones always an enjoyable process as she added armor plating around the reactor section to better safeguard the intricate systems there. Adding a few magnetic attachment points, the final iteration of the prototype contained an IR suppressor to keep a majority of the heat off of the users limbs during prolonged flight, or maneuver heavy operations.
