In order to suppress insurgency and uprisings the Galactic Empire began issuing crowd control thruster packs to many of its stormtroopers. The packs themselves are made up of two large thrusters which extend outward for flight. Dual hand levers provide acceleration as well as directional and weapons control. Mounted on the bolstered arms is a heavy blaster module, a grappling claw used for massive lifting and prisoner- hauling, and a supercharged taser which sends out a shockwave useful for repulsing and immobilizing victims. These packs give the crowd control stormtroopers a distinctive advantage during situations where they are outnumbered. Its relatively quiet thrust has makes it a formidable stealth vehicle.
