Tooka

These anti-droid weapons work by combining the power pack of a blaster rifle with a typical droid restraining bolt. Somewhat contrary to its name, the bolt doesn't disable a droid mechanically, but instead attaches to its housing and issues a broadcast command to halt that cannot be refused. The ionization blaster amplifies the command via the blasters power pack to a range of about 12 meters in a wide, unfocused arc.

Organic life forms feel no more than a brief sting, but droids are blasted with the halt command and simultaneously overloaded with energy that prevents any shielding that might resist it. Most droids are rendered inert for up to half an hour when hit by a successful ionization blast (reflected in the stun damage).

Ionization blasters work only on droids and cyborgs, and only deal strain damage as per their Stun quality. They have no effect on organic beings beyond a brief and painful sting. Models Include: Jawa scavenged ion blaster, Merr-Sonn DEMP 2 Ion Carbine.

While wielding an Ashla Staff and making a Force power check, a player may spend 3 strain to add to the results.

Cybernetic Brain Implant

One fascinating invention in the field of cybernetics is the cybernetic implant, a computer device designed to augment the user's brainpower. One example, the Aj^6 implant, is a common enhancement for those who must oversee large operations or process vast amounts of data on a regular basis. The implant fits around the user's ears and back of the head, melding with the user's brain to achieve superior reasoning speeds as well as to store information for later analysis. The popular unit also allows for remote computer control as well as comlink capability.

A cybernetic brain implant provides + 1 Intelligence and includes a comlink and computer access link.

Models Include: BioTech Borg Construct Aj^6 Cybernetic Implant.

Lockpicking Tools

While most locks in the galaxy rely on an electrical component, there exist locations and cultures without a steady supply of electricity. Unexpected loss of power can also mean that formerly electronic locks must be manipulated manually. In these cases, more archaic options are available to thieves and smugglers looking to surreptitiously breach physical security, including laser lockpicks and vibropicks.

Models Include: Various unbranded models.

Backpack

A backpack can serve many important functions: it can be used for carrying survival gear or even smaller allies and droids. Most are simple affairs of fabric and straps, with better styles including internal bracing and back support so that heavier weights can be carried far longer.

Backpacks increase the character's encumbrance threshold by 4. Models Include: Numerous Variants.

Skills (Group Only): Vigilance.

Talents: Body Guard 1 (suffer 1 wound as a maneuver to upgrade difficulty of combat checks against a target ally once).

Abilities: Droid, Silhouette 0.

Equipment: General Purpose Scanner

50% time on mechanics checks

This is an electronic picklock which goes through an almost unlimited series of combinations and eventually manages to open all but the most secure systems.

Bypass most locks in 5 minutes. May speed up the process with a daunting (4 difficulty) skulduggery check; success reduces the time to 1 minute, failure triggers alarms. Force sensitives may make a force power check to add successes to the roll per force point generated.

Skills: Coercion 4, Medicine 3, Perception 2, Ranged (Light) 3.

Talents: None.

Abilities: Droid, Hoverer, Silhouette 0.

Tooka's air speeder

Despite what are undoubtedly stunning features (or because of them), there are many times when an individual needs to look less like himself. Disguise kits contain the means to make this happen, with makeup, false hairpieces, iris chromatics, and even falseprint skins and DNA cloaks in advanced kits. Other kits can contain practical camouflage gear for urban and field settings, for blending into surroundings rather than with other people. There are numerous disguise kits made across the galaxy, especially since many must be made for a specific type of species. However, they all contain similar materials and share similar costs.

Require Hard ( ) Computers check to recognize the credentials as fakes (or Daunting ( ) Perception check without equipment).

Effects: User may ignore environment effects such as fire, acid and corrosive atmosphere. Always act as if in a standard gravity field and breath normally underwater and in a vacuum. Burn quality cannot be activated against user.

Effects: Target moving within engaged range must first make Hard ( difficulty) Fear check. Upon failure, target may not perform the desired maneuver (to enter engaged range).

Many of the Force and religious traditions throughout the galaxy develop some form of meditation focus, whether it be the prayer beads of the Solaran Hermetic Order, the Cosmic Wheel of the Voss Mystics, or Dagoyan incense. Although varied in form, these foci are allied in function, and aiding the user in finding inner peace and enlightenment.

A Force-sensitive character who has a meditation focus increases his strain threshold by 2 while he is a light side paragon.

This rare spice is well known for its properties as a powerful painkiller and for the degenerative toxins that build up in long-term users. Underworld pushers frequently attempt to sell it instead of medicine, knowning it supresses most symptoms of illness long enough to appear effective, while doing nothing to cure the customers of their need for its "treatment". As if this practice were not repugnant enough, the spice has another, less-known property that offers another venue for exploitation; karrak spice suppresses Force abilities in those who take it. This property is tracked byy the Imperial Science Bureau, which is working on new ways to refine or duplicate it. The ISB has also developed improved froms of the spice that are sometimes issued to Imperial agents hoping to capture a Force-using target.

When taken by characters who are not Force users, a single does of karrak spice removes ■■■ added to checks from pain or illness for twelve hours, but imposes automatic ♼ on all checks for twenty four hours as it slows down thought and reflexes. Force users who take a does of karrak spice recieve both effects for twice the duration and also count their Force rating as one lower while it is active.

The ubiquitous MSE-series "mouse droids" are so common in the galaxy's starships and spaceports as to be nearly invisible. Designed by Rebaxan Columni decades before the outbreak of the Clone Wars, these tiny, boxy droids were produced by the billions. Closer in intellect and utility to a remote than to a full droid, they are equipped with a low-powered, single-function droid brain that can contain a single program at a time. These programs can be switched out with ease, making the droids surprisingly versatile. This versatility is hampered, however, by the droid's lack of intellect, creativity, and problem-solving abilities.

Mouse droids are largely used in maintenance and custodial roles aboard ships and in military installations. With their three retractable manipulators and a surprisingly excellent sensor package, they excel at basic mechanical and electrical repair, and at cleaning, scraping, painting, and otherwise carry out the drudgery of keeping a starship ship-shape. They also make remarkably good security and communications droids, keeping watch over sensitive areas, carrying encrypted messages, or even acting as tools in espionage efforts.

These are small personal signal jamming boxes that can also disrupt sound when trying to listen in from outside the field.

Generates a 4 metre field.

Requires a Daunting ( ) Perception check to overhear conversation within the area of affect. Using a recording device within the area of affect requires a Daunting ( ) Computers check, but recording is still incomplete. Cannot record at all outside area of affect.

• A Force-sensitive character removes all imposed due to darkness, concealment, camouflage, or similar effects.

• A Force-sensitive character can see in the dark as if in normal daylight.

Curiosity (Strength)

The character is driven to learn new things, to seek out and discover new information, and to expand his knowledge and understanding of those things that interest him.

Obsession (Weakness)

Sometimes, interest in something can turn to obsession if not tempered with reason. The character can slip into an obsessive state about his need to discover information, accomplish a goal, or even defeat a rival, and he may ignore all else until success is his.
