Unlike the [[thruster pack]], which is a maneuvering unit used on deep-space missions, the jump-jet is used for atmospheric low-altitude flight | ==Usage== | ||
Early engagements with the [[Covenant]] in densely-packed urban contaxts proved out the value of portable jump-jet systems like the Series 8 SOLA. These systems allowed operators to quickly scale vertical terrain.<ref name="outpost"/> In [[2549]], a [[SPARTAN-III]] supersoldier used a Series 8 SOLA during the defense of the [[Trone]], a city on [[Meridian]]. Their jetpack would later be hosted in the [[Outpost Discovery]] event on [[Earth]] following the war's end<ref name="outpost"/> The Series 8 was also utilised by the [[Orbital Drop Shock Troopers]]' "[[Bullfrogs]]" during the war, including the [[Fall of Reach]] in [[2552]]. During the battle, Bullfrogs would use their jetpacks to combat Covenant infantry forces in the [[Siege of New Alexandria]] alongside [[SPARTAN-B312]].<ref>'''[[Halo: Reach]]''', campaign level ''[[Exodus]]''</ref> | |||
Unlike the [[thruster pack]], which is a maneuvering unit used on deep-space missions, the jump-jet is used for atmospheric low-altitude flight. Unlike the earlier versions, the latest models of the portable jump-jet have enough thrust power to lift more than half a ton, or the equivalent weight of a [[MJOLNIR Powered Assault Armor|MJOLNIR]]-clad [[SPARTAN Program|SPARTAN supersoldier]].<ref name="manual"/> The UNSC has also developed [[Jump jet safety restraints|safety restraints]] to be used with the jump jet.<ref>'''Halo: Reach''', ''Armory''</ref> | |||
The post-war era saw the use of the Series 9<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 315''</ref> and later the [[Series 12 Single Operator Lift Apparatus]] model designed specifically for [[SPARTAN-IV]] personnel but also utilized more broadly.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/ddd38ad0-c23b-4d6c-be78-601c9f234445/jet-pack '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo 4 Intel - Jetpack'']</ref> | The post-war era saw the use of the Series 9<ref>'''Halo: Mortal Dictata''', ''page 315''</ref> and later the [[Series 12 Single Operator Lift Apparatus]] model designed specifically for [[SPARTAN-IV]] personnel but also utilized more broadly.<ref>[http://www.halowaypoint.com/en-us/intel/inteldetail/ddd38ad0-c23b-4d6c-be78-601c9f234445/jet-pack '''Halo Waypoint''': ''Halo 4 Intel - Jetpack'']</ref> | ||
