The squad was named after the parang weapon.

Description[]

Parang Squad was an aerial infantry squad in the army of the dark side cult known as the Sith Eternal. As a part of the Sith Eternal's army, the squad was based on the cult's^[1] throneworld,^[3] the Unknown Regions planet Exegol. Like each Sith Jetpack Trooper squad in the army, Parang Squad's name honored an ancient, highly destructive dark side weapon^[4]—the parang.^[1]

Parang Squad consisted of ten Sith Jetpack Troopers—a specialized variant of the cult's main soldier, the Sith trooper.^[1] As it was comprised of these soldiers, the squad wore a variant of the crimson Sith trooper armor and was outfitted with NJP-900 integrated jetpacks and armed with F-11ABA heavy blaster cannons .^[1]
