XL trooper

"A new type of trooper... Very deadly!"

- Ves Lahtel unused audio file

XL troopers, or excel troopers, were clone troopers equipped with and trained in the use of jetpacks; they were one of the most deadly specializations of clone troopers during the Clone Wars.

Equipment
They utilized their limited flight jetpacks to rapidly cover great distances and gain aerial advantage over their enemies. The agility of the XL trooper made them quite difficult to hit on the ground and in the air.

XL troopers were also trained in hand-to-hand combat, and were equipped with wrist vibro-blades. They were so well trained that they were able to avoid lightsaber attacks quite easily.

The art of Teräs Käsi was one of the unit's basic abilities along with their enhanced speed, though it is unknown what facilitated such unusually quick movements.

History
The main goal for the XL trooper project was to create the next evolution of the jet trooper. The XL troopers were first used against the CIS in the Battle of Reach.
