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.
