Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Jumpjet Trooper

"Jumpjet Trooper powered in!"

-...

Jetpack Trooper is an ADI's airborne infantry that are capable of engaging both ground and air targets. Planned to be voiced by Laura Stahl.

Overview
ADI's Jumpjet Troopers were equipped with a back mounted jetpack unit with an integrated chaingun cannon (though battlefield recon videos suggest a mounted M16 Mk. II AR), approximately as costly as other units to produce and maintain, and equally useful. In-flight casualties among jump jet troopers drove upgrades to the jump suit after the First ADI-Asmodian War. ADI also invested in additional upgrades to the suits, including stealth detection systems, additional body armor, and an upgrade to the thrust power of the suits' jump jets, increasing speed.

While airborne, they cannot be targeted by AP infantry. anti-tank infantry can hit the Jumpjet Trooper, but is relatively ineffective. However, the Jumpjet Trooper is very vulnerable to enemy machine gun vehicles as well as dogfighting with aircraft. The Jumpjet Troopers can be upgraded with Auto Injectors Pack for additional armor as well as automatic healing abilities. They can also fly lower to avoid anti-air fire, but their movement speed is drastically reduced, making them vulnerable against enemies on the ground.
