Description

The 798th Aerial Recon Trooper represents a specialized clone unit trained for airborne reconnaissance and rapid deployment missions. Aerial recon troopers were equipped to gather intelligence from above the battlefield, using elevation and mobility to track enemy movements and relay critical data to ground forces.

The 798th Legion’s role focused on high-risk reconnaissance, often operating ahead of Republic advances or alongside air support units. These troopers were trained to deploy via jet-assisted equipment or aerial insertion methods, allowing them to access hard-to-reach locations such as cliffs, city rooftops, and fortified installations.

Aerial recon units were essential during large-scale engagements where Separatist forces utilized complex terrain or layered defences. By identifying weak points and enemy concentrations, they allowed Republic commanders to plan precise assaults and avoid unnecessary losses.

This Recon Trooper minifigure is well suited for vertical battle scenes, airborne unit displays, or custom Clone Wars MOCs that emphasize intelligence and mobility rather than direct assault. It represents the Republic’s growing reliance on specialized battlefield roles as the war progressed.

This 798th Aerial Recon Trooper minifigure includes:

• 1 x helmet visor
• 1 x DC-17m interchangeable weapon

Age rating: 5+
