tempt to decode and understand the transmission.

Models Include: Chedak Mark 5 Comm Scrambler.

SLICER GEAR

Slicers use their formidable talents to gain access

and control of computers, and items such as these

are their main tools. Their main weapons are highly

customized (usually to illegal degrees) computers of

their own, filled with the latest decryption software,

codebreakers, and data probes. Other items might in-

clude false credit chips for accessing the accounts of

others or modifying monetary levels. But like slicers

themselves, their tools are unique; often a slicer can

identify another slicer simply by inspecting the elec-

tronic fingerprints his tools leave behind.

Models Include: Numerous Variants.

SURVIVAL

Merely being ready to face down an enemy blaster

means little when faced with no food or water and

no means to easily get either. Survival gear comes

into play when making long treks across untamed

wastelands or desolate badlands, making the jour-

ney less hazardous.

RATION PACKS

As bland and flavorless as the life of an Imperial stor-

mtrooper, ration packs are a common item on smaller

ships used to augment or replace actual galley fare.

Each can be easily reconstituted into a full meal

through built-in heat infusers and limited hydration.

Most ships include emergency ration packs in case of

disasters such as hard landings or engine failures, and

while not all are actually made for the Imperial Army,

most follow the same standard make. Understand-

ably, ration packs are one-use items.

Models Include: Imperial Army Ration Packs.

BREATH MASKS AND RESPIRATORS

Not all planets or environments are hospitable to all spe-

cies, 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 qual-

ity items such as wearable face masks with gas canisters,

filtration masks for poisonous atmospheres, and even

aquatic rebreathers for sustained activity underwater.

The Candorthral Atmospherics Roamer-6 is a fair-

ly simple variant stored aboard many starships that

filters harmful atmospheres and provides additional

gases to produce a proper oxygen-nitrogen mix. Oth-

er variants (especially those made for alien species

who must spend long periods of time in hostile atmo-

spheres) 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, how-

ever, use rebreathers to inhale an ammonia mix that

mimics the atmosphere of their home planet.

Models Include: Gandorthral Atmospherics Roamer-6.

SPACE SUIT

Space suits are vital for anyone who plans to travel

in space. Space suits also come in handy when

exterior repairs are needed between departure

and arrival, or when stepping out into a totally

unknown atmosphere. The TaggeCo. Standard X

(actually made by a dozen secondary manufac-

turing and distribution factories on Kuat, Fondor,

Bilbringi, and Corellia) is a popular model for nu-

merous starships or space stations. It does not in-

clude long-term life support, but is useful for short

spacewalks. It includes small thrusters to aid in

movement, magboots for adhesion in weightless-

ness, a comlink, and microtool fittings. Like most

suits, it also comes with repair packs to seal suit

tears or gasket leaks.

Models Include: TaggeCo. Standard X Space Suit.
