Space Marines Portal

A Valkyris Pattern Jump Pack^[2]

A Jump Pack is a back mounted device containing turbines or jets powerful enough to lift even a user in Power Armour.

Overview

They greatly enhance a warrior's mobility by allowing him to travel quickly across the battlefield, making great bounding leaps over obstructions and launching himself into the melee of close combat. Its roaring engines allow a user to slow his descent when leaping from low-flying aircraft, allowing him to Deep Strike with relative safety directly into the fray.^[1]
