New Equipment

Most of the companies based in the Palvar Sector don't really produce a lot in the way of general equipment as they focus more on weapons. Most common pieces of general equipment are imported by big name companies such as Merr-Sonn and NeuroSaav. Kashan Industries does, however, produce several everyday products such as foods and clothing.

Armor

Bullet Proof Vest

Bullet proof vests are common on worlds where slugthrowers are the weapons of choice. They are designed specifically to prevent bullets and other physical attacks from killing the wearer. Some police forces have standard issue bullet proof vests.

Model: Merr-Sonn Bullet Proof Vest
Type: Bullet proof armor
Scale: Character
Cost: 300 credits Availability: 2, F or R
Game Notes: +3D physical (projectiles), +1D physical (other), +2 energy

Personal Shield Unit

Personal shield generators are generally used by those who fear for their safety. This is the same model that was used by the rebel agent Kyle Katarn during several missions.

Model: Merr-Sonn PSG-1a "Protector"
Type: Personal shield generator
Scale: Character
Cost: 750 credits (power packs: 25)
Availability: 3, R
Game Notes: Adds +4D to character's Strength to resist damage from energy attacks. If wearer suffers any damage, belt is overloaded and shorts out. This shield completely drains a power pack in ten seconds (two rounds).

Communications Devices

Comm Badge

The comm badge is a compacted comlink that can be worn as a badge and often times can be concealed in a vest pocket. It is often times used by field agents so that they do not have to deal with pulling out a conventional comlink.

Model: NeuroSaav Comlink Badge
Type: Compact comlink
Skill: Communications
Cost: 130 credits
Availability: 2
Game Notes: Has active range of up to 15 kilometers in clear weather. Activated/deactivated by tapping face.

Scanning/Searching/Targeting Devices

Dead-Eye Scope

This scope was specifically designed for use with the Merr-Sonn Whisper Sniper Rifle but can easily be modified to fit almost any slugthrower or blaster rifle. The scope with its boosted magnification has proven useful to those lucky enough to have them on many occasions.

Model: Merr-Sonn Dead-eye Scope
Type: Rifle Scope
Scale: Character
Skill: Firearms: rifle
Cost: 400 credits
Availability: 2
Range: Same as gun (decreases difficulty level by 2 ranges)
Game Notes: +2D to Firearms skill if used for one round of aiming. The scope displays an infra-red read out with range-finder and wind indicator. Scope can also be used as a spotter with a varied PER (or search) roll, counts as action and equivalent to Macrobinoculars.

RahlTech IR Flood Light

Although it's one of RahlTech's older inventions, it's still one of it's most useful. It illuminates an area with a 50m radius using infra-red light. Anybody wearing IR goggles or with natural IR capabilities are able to see the area just as if it's being illuminated by a normal flood light. Those not wearing IR goggles or without the ability to see IR light see absolutely no light at all.

Model: RahlTech IR-FL-1
Type: Infra-Red Flood Light
Availability: 3
Cost: 1,000 credits
Range: 50m radius
Game Notes: Eliminates all darkness penalties to anyone with IR capabilities.

RahlTech Laser Targeting System

The RahlTech LTS was developed shortly after the Battle of Endor. It serves as the perfect sniper finder, especially at night. The laser is shot out in the direction the RL-LTS is pointing and if it hits some sort of optical lens (like the kind found is rifle scopes) it is shot straight back, illuminating the lens in a bright green colour.

Model: RahlTech LTS
Type: Laser Targeting System
Availability: 3, R
Cost: 1200
Range: Day: 600 meters with special lens, 400 without special lens; night: 850 meters
Game Notes: Any lenses the laser points at are illuminated a bright green, adding +2D to the user's blaster/firearms roll in the dark, +1D in the day.
