Datapad

Datapads are common on most technologically civilized planets, and are used to record, store, display, and organize almost any kind of data from basic text to holographic recordings. Most come with a small display screen, though some use holoprojectors and are small enough to be easily carried in one or two hands, depending on the model. They are commonly encoded or encrypted so that only the actual owner can operate them; some are even set to wipe all data if unauthorized users attempt access.

Models Include: Numerous Variants.

Comlink (handheld)

A common device found across the galaxy, comlinks come in a variety of forms depending on their function and user. Each allows for audio messaging between two parties though advanced models can transmit multiple users or network groups together. Personal comlinks are often small, hand-held cylinders capable of communicating over distances into low orbit. Some models are built into helmets and armor segments. Longer-range versions are usually carried as large satchels or in backpacks, and can reach across a planet and to ships in high orbit (or even elsewhere in the same star system). Most operate on a standard net of frequencies that can be adjusted as desired to elude detection.

Extra Reload

Technology runs on power, and while most devices have internal power sources, these either run out or need augmentation. Energy cells are small battery disks that can keep most hand-held devices going for a while longer, while power packs are larger versions suitable for blasters and other high-demand gear. Extra reloads allow characters to ignore an out of ammo" result with a ranged weapon. By spending a maneuver, they may reload their weapons and get back in the fight.

Models Include: Numerous Variants.

Mk. IV Modular Backpack

The convenient Mk. IV Modular Backpack is manufactured by Creshaldyne Industries and marketed almost exclusively to military and governmental forces. Designed with scouts, reconnaissance troopers, and explorers in mind, these backpacks are large and sturdy, made from weatherproof textiles and equipped with an internal frame to help support the weight of the load carried. The backpack has one large compartment with four smaller compartments on the exterior. Each compartment can be sealed and unsealed quickly with a specially designed, silent tear-away textile sealer that keeps the contents of the backpack safe, secure, and dry. What makes this backpack unique is the number of different pouches that can be purchased and attached to the exterior by way of Creshaldyne's proprietary modular quick-release system. This allows the user to customize his backpack for the job at hand, adding extra pouches for contents like ammunition, optical equipment, or specialized hunting gear.

The Mk. IV Modular Backpack increases the user's encumbrance threshold by 3, plus an additional 1 point of encumbrance threshold for each accessory pouch to a maximum of 3.

Note: To purchase accessory pouches for the modular backpack, select the backpack in your inventory and click the "Attachments" button. An "attachment" will be available for adding the pouches to the backpack.
