Paratroops

Paratroopers are soldiers that use a static line deployed parachute. The parachute is a T-10 or some variation of it. Sometimes the parachute has drive slots, sometimes it does not.

When many soldiers are dropped from many aircraft, it is better that no one can steer their parachute. Collisions are less than if all the troops had steerable parachutes.
