Comlink (long range)

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.

Stimpack

Stimpacks are auto-injection tubes filled with medicine, bacta, and painkillers. They are field-ready emergency health recovery products, and useful for quick healing in the field. There are countless makers of stimpacks, from Chiewab Amalgamated Pharmaceuticals to Athakam MedTech.

It takes a maneuver for a character to inject a stimpack in himself or another..Stimpacks are one-use items, and automatically heal 5 wounds. Characters can use stimpacks more than once, but each use heals one less wound (so the second use heals four, the third use heals three, and so on). The sixth stimpack heals no wounds—the character is already oversaturated with the medicine for it to have any effect. It takes a day for the character's body to process the stimpacks and for him to be able to use them at full effectiveness. See page 220 for more information.

Models Include: Numerous Variants.

Breath Mask

Not all planets or environments are hospitable to all species, and thus many species require breathing devices to survive on them. The most basic are simple nose plugs which filter out contaminants; there are also higher quality items such as wearable face masks with gas canisters, filtration masks for poisonous atmospheres, and even aquatic rebreathers for sustained activity underwater.

The Gandorthral Atmospherics Roamer-6 is a fairly simple variant stored aboard many starships that filters harmful atmospheres and provides additional gases to produce a proper oxygen-nitrogen mix. Other variants (especially those made for alien species who must spend long periods of time in hostile atmospheres) can be more unobtrusive or comfortable to wear, but essentially do the same thing.

Breathing aids can be set to provide nearly any atmosphere, although oxygen-nitrogen atmospheres are the most common. Some variants of Gand, however, use rebreathers to inhale an ammonia mix that mimics the atmosphere of their home planet.

Models Include: Gandorthral Atmospherics Roamer-6.

Protective Goggles

These goggles protect the wearer from the effects of bright light. They can negate negative consequences of light and can prevent blindness in very bright conditions. Defels wear them due to their high sensitivity to visible light. When worn by a Defel, it eliminates their light sensitivity trait.

Jedi Utility Belt

Skilled artisans in the employ of the Jedi Order designed a utility belt for the use of Jedi Knights in the field centuries ago, incorporating a number of useful tools and items of fine manufacture. Jedi utility belts are visually nondescript, and the pouches worn on them, as well as the compartments within them, contain a number of useful items and tools. These utility belts were not worn by every Jedi Knight in the field, but many found them to be useful, so various iterations and models stayed in circulation throughout the centuries.

While Jedi utility belts found in circulation or on abandoned battlefields are typically empty, having long ago been picked over, Jedi caches have been known to contain Jedi utility belts that are still supplied. A Jedi utility belt contains a three-day supply of food capsules, an emergency medpac, a Jedi multitool, a slim glow rod, a comlink, and an aquata breather. A number of empty pouches are concealed along the belt's interior side, allowing the wearer to hide small items. In addition, a standard lightsaber can be securely hung from the belt for easy access.

In addition to potentially containing the supplies listed above, the Jedi utility belt increases the wearer's encumbrance threshold by 1.
