Military Field Manual

Field manuals are print or digital publications, issued to Imperial troopers and Rebel agents alike that focus on a variety of important topics. From comprehensive manuals issued to members of the Imperial Navy to the underground publications used to instruct Rebels in guerrilla combat, field manuals can be found wherever troopers are common. Those used by the Empire are written by instructors at the Anaxes War College and other important military thinkers in the Empire's employ, while those used by the Alliance are either stolen from Imperial forces or written by experienced Rebels. Depending on the manual, once per scene a character may use the information found within to gain :eB: to any task at the Game Master's discretion.

Models Include: Imperial Army Field Manual FM-5-31 (Booby Traps), General Airen Cracken's Rebel Handbook.

Utility Belt

A utility belt is a common item for those on active missions where quick access to tools and gear is a necessity; even Imperial stormtroopers use them. Their contents will vary with their user and their planned actions; sabotage missions might have belts with explosives and security slicer chips, while a ship mechanic might have his stuffed with his favorite tools. Some belts also have weapon holsters or clips.

Utility belts increase the character's encumbrance threshold by 1.

Models Include: Numerous Variants.

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.

Tool Kit

In a technological galaxy, a tool kit is almost essential. Every vessel, no matter the size or function, has some sort of repair kit to deal with mechanical or electric failures, as calling for assistance is often not practical (or safe). Kits are also useful for repairing damaged droids or cybernetic parts, especially ones too modified to take to reputable mechanics. Tool kits need to have a wide range of gear, as many users are fond of tinkering and upgrading on their own. Basic hammers, hydrospanner wrenches, restraining bolts, power coupling scrubbers, fusion cutters, laser and sonic welders, replacement wiring and components, power calibrators, and of course welding goggles and heavy gloves are all standard components. Many of these also make for effective improvised weapons. For those used to doing extensive repairs, some kits include diagnostic probes and other aids to determine the nature of the fault. There is little a skilled mechanic cannot fix with a well-maintained and well-stocked toolkit, given adequate time to conduct the repairs (which is sometimes a problem too).

Toolkits allow mechanics to perform most Mechanics checks to repair mechanical devices, and can also be used to "heal" droids.

Models Include: Numerous Variants.

Ribbon Rack

A ribbon rack is typically worn with a dress uniform to display the various decorations earned by the wearer. Instead of the full medallions, which tend to be bulky, heavy, and unsuited for wearing on a day-to-day basis, most Alliance Military personnel prefer to wear the less obtrusive rack ribbons issued with their commendations. These are typically small, horizontal bar ribbons a few centimeters in length in the same color and pattern as the ribbon on the full-sized medal. These smaller ribbons slot into the ribbon rack and can be easily rearranged as the wearer gains more commendations.
