Repulsorpack

A repulsorpack were back-mounted devices that incorporated repulsorlift technology, often used to a similar capacity to jump packs or to allowed the user to make safer falls down much larger depths. Repulsorpacks replaced parachutes among drop troopers, particularly the Orbital Shock Drop Troopers of the Republic Judicial Forces, and were also used to some extent by orbital drop forces of the Grand Army of the Republic and later specialized units within the Imperial Stormtrooper Corps. Some mercenaries as well as the military of the planet Exocron also made use of repulsorpacks. The rarity and high cost of repulsorpack technology, however, made these devices much less common in contrast to jump packs, jetpacks, and traditional parachutes.
