Another in BMI's range of specialised vehicles. The Powerjump Assault Walker
is used for assaulting facilities and other fortified positions. An almost
frog-like figure it can charge its servos up and jump for up to 50m in
height. The shock value alone of these strange walkers is worth every
credit. In the battle to destroy the slaver captain Raga Garago's fortress,
the Powerjumps were field tested and brought the fortress down within
minutes, with no casualties for the Bakarans (Apart from some slightly
nauseus pilots!)
During the Rebellion the Imperials largely dicounted them for their own
walkers although many were pressed into service for SpecOps forces. Still
more found their way to the rebellion.
