One of of the more unusual by-products of the same repulsor technology used
by flying droids. A personal repulsor field that slows a sentient's freefall
enough to prevent serious injury when it reaches the ground. The strain placed
on the repulsor unit burns out cheap paragrav belts, making them single use
only.
In some systems paragrav jumping is an exotic sport. The Empire developed a
paragrav troop unit for specialised deployment of ground troops.
