Name: Mandalorian Mounted Trooper
Rank: Mandalorian
Tier: Middle 3
Background: Mounted Troopers were a unit created primarily for clan-on-clan combat, predating the Mandalorian Wars. Given the nature of the distance between the compounds of the larger clans, it was a strategy first adopted by Clan Wren prior to their settling of Krownest; where hit-and-runs would be performed on enemy compounds using speeder groups, before said units would retreat before reinforcements could arrive.
The Mandalorian Mounted Trooper saw less use with the popularisation and standardisation of Jetpack Training, however, it still changed the face of Mandalorian warfare forever, and they have never been forgotten.
In particular, Mounted Troopers often see use today either as aids in scouting parties with Scout Troopers, or as pilots for vehicles of war.

Perk: Isn't That Banned?
The Mounted Trooper can strap explosives onto their vehicles and jump out before impact without fail, detonating a huge explosion.

Weaknesses: Cocky and arrogant fighters. Easily led into a trap where they believe they can succeed in a fight. Always try to best the strongest opponent around.
These guys okay? They have the need. The need for speed. But like most Mandalorians, they are cocky in their own abilities. The Mounted Trooper may try to perform vehicular manoeuvres that he cannot usually perform, due to the false belief the safety of a jetpack provides. As such, it is likely you will see a mounted trooper do the following things: Tokyo Drift off a cliff face, attempt to pop a wheelie and break their spine, attempt to stand up on top of the speeder seat only for them to fall off and break their neck in hilarious fashion, try to do a stunt and end up committing vehicular manslaughter, and other such reality ensuing moments.
