Stalker Armor
This suit was
designed by Salus Corporation on Rodia for specific use as bounty hunter armor. The suit
has since gained much respect in the bounty hunter community because of its versatility.
Two configurations are available – one tailored to comfortably fit Rodians and
another designed to fit most generic humanoid body types.

Shosk’irid/39:3:9:48/Iss· The Rodians excel at crafting surprisingly good armor.
Stalker armor has a nice mix of weapons, solid protection and durable construction. Its
sensors add a unique advantage to the wearer leaving an opponent nowhere to run and
difficulty in dodging blows. All in all, some fairly decent solid armor at a fair price.
Bodu/39:4:9:21/Ith· I don’t know if I agree with that; anybody who
purchases a Stalker should consider getting it as well-tailored as possible. Any shifting
of the armor plating may throw some of the weapons out of alignment. (Imagine your tangler
gun snaring you instead of your target. Not pretty.)
(From Gundark’s Fantastic Technology:
Personal Gear, p.60-61.)
Capsule:
The tangler gun fires a triple strand of durawire weighted at each of three ends. The
spinning wires ensnare opponents, causing 4D stun damage. The impact of the weights causes
2D damage as well. An opponent can work free of the tangler by making an opposed Strength
roll greater than the stun damage of the tangler.
This weapon is
available as a short, wide-barreled sidearm with a folding stock and retractable sight for
those who want to use the tangler without having to mount it on armor. An extra clip of
five tanglers costs 25 credits.
Capsule: This gun fires twin cartridges filled with slivered shrapnel flechettes out of its stubby double barrel. It is a powerful weapon at short ranges, but is not terribly accurate or effective at longer ranges.
