The NJP-900 jetpack was directly attached to the user's armor and allowed for a high degree of mobility in combat. First Order jet troopers and Sith Jetpack Troopers utilized the jetpack, which would be colored red or white to match the trooper's armor. Jet troopers were able to use the jetpacks to fly at the speed of a pair of Pasaana skimmers hotwired by Resistance pilot Poe Dameron, which were traveling at roughly 250kph. The NJP-900 was equipped with gyroscopes within the jetpack to adjust to movement and increases of speed, matching the reflexes of the user. It was also paired with jet trooper's helmet visors, giving them additional access to technical information while in flight.[3]
