Battle Zone Technology: Personal Defense

Body Armor

• A/KT Tuff Combat Jumpsuit: Not the most protective suit, but it is lightweight and durable. It has several pockets and attachments to hold tools and weapons. When combined with gloves, boots, and a standard helmet and blast vest, the jumpsuit can become fine protection from minor scrapes and bruises! This suit grants the wearer 10 points against physical attack and 5 points against energy attack. Costs 5 points (0 at start-up).
• A3AA Personal Defense Module: This is a reasonably sturdy suit to begin with, but it has a network of micro-spray nozzles that release a difusing gas that disperses blaster bolts. The gas surrounds the wearer in a 5 meter diameter cloud for approximately 4 minutes. This suit grants the wearer 20 points against physical attack, 10 points against energy attack, and the cloud provides the wearer with 20 more points of protection from blasters. Costs 20 points (5 points at start-up).
• Barabel Microbe Armor: This is a very expensive, but very protective battle vest. With each hit from a blaster bolt, the vest becomes even more resistant to blaster fire! The vest grants the wearer 10 points against physical attack and 10 points against energy attack before taking damage. With each hit from a blaster, the energy resistance increases by 5! This continues until the resistance of the armor reaches 30 points of protection. Costs 25 points (5 at start-up).
• Blast Helmet: A very standard helmet, granting 2 points of protection to the wearer. Costs nothing.
• Blast Vest: A very standard battle vest, granting 3 points of protection to the wearer. Costs nothing.
• Body Armor: Standard body armor. Nothing special about it, to tell you the truth. Just grants the wearer 20 points against physical attack and 10 points against energy attack. Costs 10 points (0 at start-up).
• Body Glove: This suit helps the wearer cope in harsh environments, granting them 10 point increases in stamina and survival. Costs nothing.
• Camo Armor: This suit gives the wearer a boost to their sneak skill, if they remain motionless. It grants the wearer 10 points against physical attack, 5 points against energy attack and increases the wearer's sneak skill by 10. Costs 10 points (0 at start-up).
• Corellian HuntSuit: Fairly common type of armor with short-range motion sensors. This suit grants the wearer 20 points against physical attack, 10 points against energy attack, and increases the search skill by 10. Costs 15 points (2 points at start-up).
• Cresh Luck Armor: This suit of armor acts as an "early warning system" by employing a series of infrared motion trackers. When rapid motion indicative of an attack is detected, an alarm to the character is triggered. This alarm is a silent, miniscule vibration that alerts the wearer. This suit also grants the wearer 20 points against physical attack and 10 points against energy attack. Costs 15 points (2 points at start-up).
• Doubler Suit: This suit has a holoprojector that creates a life-size holographic image of the wearer. The person to be "doubled" must be recorded for one hour. Then the suit projects an image that is very difficult to distinguish unless observed from close up. This suit provides no protection to the wearer, other than the opportunity to utilize the suit's abilities. Costs nothing.
• EVA Vacuum Pod: This power suit is not for battle, but for attempting repairs to your freighter when you are thousands of lightyears from the nearest spaceport. The unit has a droid brain that controls mundane functions of the suit (such as adjusting the thrust so the wearer doesn't go shooting off into space) leaving the wearer to the task of fixing the problem so he can be on his way! the suit has a hull strength rating of 40. Costs 10 (0 at start-up).
• Koromondain Half-Vest: Commonly referred to as bounty hunter insurance, this protective vest is specifically designed to protect the wearer from sudden attacks from unexpected quarters (and dubious friends in dark places). It grants the wearer 15 points against physical attack and 8 points against energy attack. Cost is 3 points (0 at start-up).
• Min-Dal JX4 Gladiator: This suit grants the wearer 20 points against physical attacks and 10 points against energy attacks. It has a net gun (the net causes 50 points of electrical stun damage) mounted on the left forearm; uses Missile Weapons skill. The suit also has a vibro-shiv that retracts into the right gauntlet (damage is Strength plus 10). Finally, the suit contains a jet pack that can move the wearer 100 meters horizontally and 70 meters vertically per use (charge); uses the Jet Pack Operation skill, the jet pack has 10 charges. Costs 30 points (10 points at start-up).
• Reflect Body Glove: This is a standard environmental suit impregnated with a combination of reflective materials that help ablate the blast effects of energy weapons. It is basically a disposable suit, as it can only be utilized until it has been struck by blaster fire 5 times. It grants the wearer 10 points of protection from energy weapons. Cost is 7 points (1 point at start-up).
• Smasher Armor: Originally designed to be used by private security personnel, this suit is quite popular with folks who prefer to get up close and personal! In addition to granting protection, it has micro-servos that boost the wearer's strength. This suit grants the wearer 15 points against physical attack, 10 points against energy attack, and increases the Strength attribute(for rendering physical damage against someone or something), and all skills related to it, by 20. Costs 20 points (5 points at start-up).
• Stalker Armor: Specifically designed as bounty hunter armor by the Salus Corporation on Rodia, this suit has gained much popularity among the licensed hunters of the galaxy. There are two versions available -- one tailored for rodian physique, and another designed to fit most generic humanoid body types. This suit grants the wearer 20 points against physical and energy attacks, but penalizes their Dexterity attribute and related skills by 15 points. The suit is so heavy that the skills Hide, Sneak, and Swimming cannot be used while wearing this armor. It has a Tangler gun (the tangle-wrap causes 40 points of stun damage) mounted on the left forearm; uses Missile Weapons skill. It has a Duo-Flechette Rifle (damage is 50) mounted on the right arm; uses Missile Weapons skill. The suit has a retractable blade that retracts into the right gauntlet (damage is Strength plus 20). It also has a sensor pod and targeting computer that provides a 10 point bonus to the wearer. Costs 25 points (5 points at start-up).

Powersuits

Powersuits are the next step up from body armor. They effectively transform a soldier into a one-man squad! To use a powersuit a character must have the Powersuit Operation skill.
Each powersuit has its own unique abilities. Powersuits are fairly expensive, but can prove worth every point spent! There are some disadvantages with powersuits, however. While they provide heavy protection to the wearer and often increase the wearer's abilities, they have a tendency to penalize the wearer's Dexterity attribute and skills.
If a the wearer of a powersuit takes damage of more than triple the combined strength of the suit and the wearer, the suit will shut-down, overload, then explode, doing damage equal to twice the suit's point cost (real cost, not start-up cost)!

Mon-Cal Leviathan Power Armor: This armor was designed by the Mon Calamari for use by a commando squad trained to harass Imperial aquatic installations on planets sympathetic to the Rebellion. The original suits did not contain an air supply, since Mon Cals breathe in water. Like anything built by the Mon Calamari, each suit is a work of cultural art, and is therefore unique. Each new suit must be specially comminnioned, which makes this suit rare. That being the case, the cost is 75 (15 at start-up), 150 (25 at start-up) if you are not with the Alliance.

Accessories

• Arakyd Hush-About AJP-400: A super-light, super-silent, super-powerful jet pack! It has ten charges, and can take the wearer and cargo totalling no more than 300 kilograms up to 200 meters vertically and 500 meters horizontally with each charge. Cost is 35 points (10 at start-up).
• Aratech R82 Jump Boots: A combined repulsor and rocket unit. These boots enable the wearer to jump up to 35 meters vertically or 50 meters horizontally. The repulsor pack can operate for up to one hour, with a flight ceiling of 35 meters. Costs 10 points (0 at start-up).
• Aratech Screamer Jet Pack: It has ten charges and can carry the wearer 70 meters vertically and 100 meters horizontally with each charge. Cost is 15 (0 at start-up).
• Boots and Gloves:  The SureGrip brand is perhaps the most common type of climbing gear. SureGrip items --like climbsuits-- are coated with a FrictionGrip. Some infiltrators wear similar gear to scale sheer walls, though commercial models - for recreation mountain-scaling, for example - are available and can be used in the event of an equipment shortage.  Use of boots and gloves together enhances Strength by 10 ranks for climbing purposes. If used separately (like if you just have the gloves), they enhance Strength by 4 ranks.  No cost (so get them both, dummy!)
• Bubble Cloak: This cloak can inflate into an emergency shelter in less than 30 seconds. It has enough atmosphere supply to last up to 2 hours. Costs nothing.
• Climbsuit:  The climbsuit is a set of gloves, shoes, knee-pads, and elbow-pads coated with FrictionGrip, a substance that helps a climber gain purchase on smooth surfaces. Additional friction pads are worn along the arms, legs, and torso. The suit also comes with a light-impact helmet and equipment harness. This type of suit is typically issued to Specs in urban areas, where tall structures must be climbed quickly.  Suit adds 20 ranks to Strength for climbing purposes.  Cost is 5 points (0 at start-up)
• Dissuasion Field Belt: This belt creates a low-energy, 360-degree force field radiating 3 centimeters from the wearer's body. If anyone attempts to touch the wearer, an energy release of 10-40 points of stun damage is released (actual damage is set by the wearer). Costs 5 points (0 at start-up).
• Fastflesh Medpac:  The BioTech Fastflesh medpac is an improved version of the standard first-aid medpac. While it is designed to be used only when absolutely necessary, BioTech's Fastflesh can be a lifesaver. The Fastflesh contains several advanced healing agents and accelerants that boost cellular repair in humans and near-humans to unbelieveable levels, though the process is excruciatingly painful and can be fatal. Toxic backlash is a strong threat if used more than once per day.  Despite the risks of using the Fastflesh medpac more than once a day, it can be used with other medpacs.  This medpac will heal a wounded character completely in about 10% of the usual time.  Cost is 5 points (0 at start-up).
• Headstrap Macrobinoculars:  Headstrap macrobinoculars are flatter, goggle versions of the hand-held sets, strapped to the head of the user. manual controls are set into the sides of the unit and can be easily manipulated with one hand after a little practice. This set has a minimum range of 100 meters. The "enlarge" mode can be set to "off," blanking the display, or "standby," granting normal distance vision, but once turned on skips to the magnification afforded by the goggles. Automatic light intensity management --which works in "enlarge" and "standby" mode-- makes twilight conditions seem like day, and night conditions seem like twilight.  Improves aiming by 20 ranks with blaster or slugthrower weapons (at medium and long range - 25-50 meters for most weapons) if the weapon is equipped with a laser-sight. Search and other Perception-based skills be be increased when using macrobinoculars by 30 ranks when used to find something more than 100 meters away.  Costs nothing
• Koromondain SVT-300 Stun Cloak: A simple cloak, with a not-so-simple personal defense mechanism. Specially designed fibers on the outside of the cloak give this garment its particularly attractive metallic sheen. When brought into contact with living tissue, however. these fibers also act to electrostatically adhere to the target's body. Once activated by a hand-held relay (disguised as the cloak's clasp), the garment produces a focused electrical charge capable of stunning the target into submission. Stun damage is 50. Cost is 5 points (0 at start-up).
• Merr-Sonn Leaper Jet Pack: It has ten charges and can carry the wearer and cargo totalling no more than 250 kilograms up to 50 meters vertically and 150 meters horizontally. Cost is 25 (5 at start-up).
• Merr-Sonn Silencer:  An attachment placed onto the barrel of a firearm, the NonSonic silencer absorbs sound by emitting precisely tuned counter vibrations.  The result is a silent weapon that makes no noise even if dropped onto a hard surface.  This silencer does not work on blasters because most of a blasters' report comes from the bolt interacting with atmosphere.  Cost is 15 (5 at start-up)
• Sensor No-Show:  Much sought after by thieves and Infiltrators, a no-show is a wristband that masks body heat emissions with an electromagnetic sheath. It renders the user almost invisible on most sensors. No-Show users appear on scanner and sensor screens as wispy, wraithlike apparitions or curls of smoke.  The Sensor No-Show unit adds an effective 20 ranks to a character's Sneak skill when dealing with sensors.  The battery drains after 15 minutes of use.  The cost is 15 points for military characters, 25 points for non-mil
• Servo Slippers: After spending an hour on one of those "high gravity" worlds, your limbs can feel like boiled Junga noodles. These foot/leg and hand/arm braces can make all the difference between functioning and doing very little. Adds 10 to Strength when on such worlds for the purpose of moving and manipulating objects with your hands. Costs nothing.
• Sighting Macroscope:  Theoretically sold to the target-shooting and competition-marksmanship market, the Merr-Sonn Targeter ranging scope drastically improves long-range accuracy by magnifying targets and superimposing a lasersight target designator on the image. The macroscope must be mounted on the firing weapon, and the firer must spend between 6-10 seconds sighting in the target before firing.  Once sighted, the firer may keep firing until a new target is selected.  Adds 30 ranks to ranged weapons skill (Blaster, Firearms, Missile Weapons) for shots over 25 meters in distance.  Cost is 5 points (0 at start-up)
• Snooper Goggles:  A civilian model macrobinocular headset, the VidGraph is highly suitable for Infiltrator purposes. Infiltrator snooper goggles are fitted with photoreducers to prevent blinding from sudden increases in light. Snooper goggles suffer a limited range, only about half that of regular macrobinoculars, but allows the viewer to see in near-total darkness as if under daylight.  Adds 20 ranks to Search skill in low light situations.  No cost
• Syntherope:  The SureGrip climbing syntherope is typical of its kind. It can be used to support climbers or haul equipment, and is used for basic safety support. The syntherope is sold in a dispenser with reel and catch. SpecForce often coates syntherope with FrictionGrip, to ensure that grip is easy to maintain during a climb.  Can be acquired in spools ranging in length from 20 to 120 meters, in 20 meter increments. Can support 500 kg. Using rope adds 10 ranks to Strength for climbing purposes (add 20 ranks to Strength if treated with FrictionGrip).  No cost
