Jagdtroopers
The Jagd (Hunt) Stormtroopers are a special unit based in the
Hoget Sector. They were founded nearly two years before the Battle of
Yavin, and their innovative counter-insurgency tactics were used as a model
for the as yet unfounded Storm Commandos. The Jagdtroopers are a
company sized unit that has been formed from veteran Stormtroopers.
They are used much like the Storm Commandos, for covert operations,
counter-assassin, saboteur and surgical strikes against hardened targets.
They are equipped with modified Stormtrooper armour, and are heavily
armed. A great deal of money has been invested in arming them, with
exotic weapons such as selective fire blasters, deck clearers, grenade
launchers, flame throwers and slug throwers being common to their
operations. Not only are they dangerous with their weapons, they are also
incredibly well trained in unarmed combat.

Return to the Barracks
With the exception of the DL-87, the weapons referenced to above can all be found in the Armoury.
The DL-87 can be found in Pirates & Privateers (WEG 40143), an excellent book for a GM, and essential for running pirates, smugglers, privateers or mercs.
(Real life reference: Universal Camo is the same as Rodesian Camouflage pattern. It IS this good.)
