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.

Field Rations

The only features that distinguish field rations from standard ration packs are their awful taste and hyperinfusion of nutrients that allows a soldier to survive on a single ration for up to one week. The brown goop comes in flat packages and looks like nothing so much as digestive waste. Field rations can be heated by the thermal circuitry integrated in the packaging, and they can also be consumed cold. Soldiers report little difference in taste or enjoyment.

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.

Macrobinoculars

A far simpler version of the more complicated electrobinoculars, macrobinoculars use rugged imaging systems to magnify far-off objects for their users. They are more reliable than electrobinoculars, because there are few systems that can break down. However, they sacrifice the image enhancement and recording systems, as well as any low light capability. There are countless macrobinocular brands on the market, though most of the differences are purely cosmetic.

Models Include: Numerous Variants.

Surveillance Tagger

These small (less than three centimeters across) beacons are commonly placed on their target via darts or other surreptitious means, where they use adhesion or magnetism to stay affixed. Once in place, they relay information such as location, direction, and rate of movement to their user, making them invaluable for tracking an unwitting foe. The most expensive models, such as the Rhinsome Tracking Corp SureSnoop, can relay information through obstructions over dozens of kilometers, while the cheaper Astroserver Industries Rover and Trailmaster and the MechBlaze Observer tend to have much shorter broadcast ranges and can be blocked by large buildings or thick masses of rock or metal.

Models Include: Rhinsome Tracking Corp SureSnoop, Astroserver Industries Rover and Trailmaster, MechBlaze Observer.
