Trooper "DT-1138" Du'Vall

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.

False Credentials

In the vast police state of the Galactic Empire, a lack of proper identification can draw unwanted attention from Imperial authorities. However, for those who would rather keep their actual names to themselves, false identities and the accompanying credentials can be obtained for a price. Clever forgers and slicers create false credentials, counterfeit licenses, and fake permits embedded on standard electronic identification cards that can fool even the most sophisticated holoscanners.

False credentials can fool most cursory examinations, and characters using scanners require a successful Hard (:eD::eD::eD:) Computers check to recognize the credentials as fakes (or a Daunting (:eD::eD::eD::eD:) Perception check without equipment).

Models Include: Numerous variants.

Blackops Data Breaker

Data breakers are common tools used by slicers to force their way into secure systems. Essentially a data battering ram, they are unsubtle tools used for expedience instead of finesse and stealth. Many are also data harvesting devices, recording everything encountered in a system while the slicer roots around for nuggets of information. Most organic Slicers carry one or two of these devices, but droid Slicer Player Characters can have them installed in their internal computer systems as well. Data breakers add :eB::eB: to any Computers check made to slice computers, but they also add :eB: to any attempts to locate use of a data breaker in a computer system due to the "noise" these devices make. Data breakers are highly illegal, and possession or use of one can land a Rebel operative in a maximum security Imperial prison for a very long stay.

Models Include: Numerous variants.

Forgery Tools

A busy Diplomat might misplace his identity card and need a quick replacement. A deep-cover operative might need temporary access to a secure facility. Regardless of the case or the legitimacy of the reason, quality forgery tools such as carefully crafted inks and implements or complex credential-falsification devices can enhance a crafter's innate talents.

Models include: Goseia Heavy Industries Concern Executive Privacy Suite, countless custom-made (and illegal) models.

Security Sweeper

Government officials and military personnel must maintain a vigilant guard against espionage, taking greats pains to ensure they are not being overheard or recorded. The world of intelligence and counterintelligence fluctuates as recorders become more complex and more difficult to detect, and sweepers advance to keep up with them. Security sweepers are optimized to detect specialized electronic components, ignoring mundane devices such as holocams or datapads. Security sweepers precisely locate recorders and listening devices, but they typically cannot identify the exact nature of any such device.

A character using a security sweeper may check an area for espionage tools by making an Average (:eD::eD:) Computers check. If he succeeds, the device notifies him of the presence and location of any recording or espionage devices within medium range of his current location. If the device is particularly well-hidden, this check might be opposed by the Mechanics skill of the character who placed the device.

Models include: Veslox 19q, TaggeCo. Security Verification Sweeper.

Shockhold Hardened Comlink

This hardened comlink is one of the more popular forms of military-grade communications in the galaxy. These devices feature satellite uplink capability for planet-wide and planet-to-orbit communications capability, boosted broadcast power, and military-grade encryption, although they are bulkier than standard comlinks.

The ShockHold adds automatic :e-::e-: to any checks made to decode and understand its transmissions, and automatic :e*::e*: to any checks made to broadcast through a com jammer.

Military Belt Pouch

The military belt pouch is exactly what it sounds like, a pouch affixed to the user's belt. Though small, the belt pouch is designed to be accessed easily. It can hold two items that have encumbrance 0. The user can draw these items as an incidental.

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.
