Their inltrators can slip intothe most heavily guarded instillations and back outbefore anyone even knows they were there. Thediscovery of the location of the second 0eath Starand the delivery of that information to the Alliancewas the crowning achievement of the Spynet. TheKa'tain ndustries 0arksuit helped make this possible.The suit is a stateoftheart innovation inarmor technology developed by armor designersand the spies who would wear it. The goal of theproject was to combine the stealth capabilities of the Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles Shadowsuittm with aprotective suit of light armor to protect the weareron dangerous missions. The suit starts with a microthin layer of heat dissipating mesh that renders thewearer nearly invisible to thermographic imaging.This is covered in a 0urabertm bodystocking whichprovides modest protection from physical and energydamage. Finally an ultrathin layer of Shadowsilk (a material that absorbs light and sound) is quiltedover the 0uraber bodystocking. The boots arealso constructed from 0uraber(tm) and as a resultthey are soft, exible and allow for full foot andankle mobility. The soles of the boots are tted withsounddampening pads to quiet footsteps. The naladdition of Shadowsilk gloves and hood renders thewearer quite undetectable yet still protected as if wearing a padded ightsuit.A character wearing a 8othan 0arksuit gains a +4equipment bonus to Hide and Vove Silently checks.Anyone using heat sensors to detect the charactersuffers a 4 penalty to their Computer Use check.Creep oots (by Pavager)Cost: 950 Weight: 1 kgAvaiIabiIity: Pare Era: PE, P0riginally the trademark of notorious Farghulburglars, these custommade boots feature soundreducing technology to mufe the footsteps of thewearer.

The Em45a usesa triple redundant system and has a backup powersupply in case of initial failure. t gradually slows theoperator's vertical descent and reduces any fall tothe equivalent of an 8 m drop. The pack is rated fora 200 kg mass and has enough power for one use. A pack may be tampered to operate on a "dead man'sswitch" with a successful Pepair check (0C 15) thoughis not recommended by its manufacturer.Afterwards it must be recharged for one full day.Some enterprising individuals use the pack for "cargodrops," but the packs aren't meant for such loadsand several short out.

Powerful sensors detectthe brainwaves of the subject whenundergoing PEV sleep, scanning her face,iris, cornea and retina. This information istransmitted in a high power burst (appears as static;decoding requires Computer Use check 0C J0) to aspecially tuned receiver within 50 kilometers. Theentire scanner vaporizes in the data transmission,leaving a slightly softer pillow and a momentaryburnt smell. With the data highly accurate disguisescan be made; good enough to fool nearly any sensorcheck using the subject's face or eyes.

(To determine theviewport's defense, see the Pevised CorePulebook page 168.)This rare, butpowerful item has quickly gainedpopularity with bounty huntersand other shady types, including crookedbusiness men, spies, and mercenaries. TheS7 (Surface 7ibration ntensity) Peceptorreads air vibrations from sound waves strikinga viewport, and lters it back into audible sound inthe receptor's earpiece. Although grainy, the audiois fully recordable if attached to a datapad, and letsanyone with the item eavesdrop on a conversationfrom a city block away. This is perfect for situationswhen it is impossible to place a bug in the target'sroom. This instrument is highly illegal in all but ahandful of systems, and has a hefty price tag on theblack market.This user of this device is able to make Listenchecks as is she was the viewport (albeit with a 2 penalty). f there is no viewport or window, thisdevice can not be used.E-26 Sensor omb (8y Elfword)Cost: J,500 Weight: J.5kgAvaiIabiIity: Specialized, Era: PE, P, NPVilitaryThe E826 sensor bomb is a highly sophisticatedcombination sensor package and data transmitter.0esigned for singleuse, it can pull a variety of information on an area or facility. 0nce activated,it rapidly switches between several scanning modessuch as infrared and ultrasound. 0nce scanning of the 75m radius is complete (5 rounds), the datais transmitted on a preset channel to anydevice set to receive the transmission.The received information translates intomaps, each depicting the sensor data froma different scanning mode. ntelligenceoperatives can plant a sensor bombsomewhere inside the facility they haveinltrated and set it go off after she hasmade her escape.Sensor Jammers and 0etectionCountermeasures0roid ControI oIt (by Pavager)Cost: 5,000 Weight: .2 kgAvaiIabiIity: Pare Era: PE, P, NPWhile the droid restraining bolt inhibits a droid'sactions, the control bolt temporarily reprogramsthe droid to obey new commands. 8lack markettech specialists sold these to assassins, thievesand saboteurs. The bolt must be programmedby the operator for each type of droid model(Computer Use 0C 15). Upon a successful touchattack with the bolt, the droid must roll a Will save(0C 20) or be under the bolt's control. The droidshuts down for 1d4 rounds before "rebooting" withthe new agenda. The droid may try another Will savefor every action against its base programming; for adiplomat this may include harming a sentient, tellinga lie or betraying its owner. The droid is still underthe bolt's control, but it refuses to nish that action.0roids with "locked access" receive a +4 bonus onWill saves to resist the control bolt. Likewise, droidswith "personalities" fare better against this deviceand receive a +5 bonus on this save.The bolt can function for 24 hours before itneeds recharging. Attaching or removing a controlbolt is a full round action. Pemoving the boltrequires a 0isable 0evice check (0C 10). f the droidsucceeds at any Will save by 10 or more, it canremove the control bolt itself for a full round actionand the 0isable 0evice check (0C 10). Note that0isable 0evice cannot be used untrained. This devicecan be crafted at half its black market value (2,500).EIectronic ScrambIer (by Pavager)Cost: J,500 Weight: J kgAvaiIabiIity: Pare Era: PE0riginally the brainchild of Colicoid engineers for useon assassin droid models, the design was awed. Theelectronic scrambler played too much havoc while onboard any droid, no matter how well shielded. Thedevice works by scrambling any data transmissionsor sensor readings in a 2 m radius, incurring a 8penalty for detection by any electronic sensor. Evenshielded droids with this device receive a 4 penaltyto all actions and cannot "take 10" on any skillcheck. 8earers of this device appear to sensors asan indistinct blur and any Spot checks using sensorssuffer a 8 penalty. Prolonged exposure to organics hasresulted in abnormal growths, insanity and a high risk of cancer; for every hour of use, organics must saveagainst Level radiation (see Pevised Core Pulebook page 290).IIIuminax Sensor 0ecoy (by Pavager)Cost: 1,200 Weight: .J kgAvaiIabiIity: Pare Era: PEThe small and niche oriented lluminax Corporationdeveloped a device that emulates a living person toany sensor scan.

The decoycan be electronically "spotted" only if the sensoroperator physically looks at the spot indicated or witha successful Computer Use check (0C J0). 0therwise,to most eavesdropping (or other) types of sensors,the "decoy" is a living, breathing sentient.

While the article mayindeed contain precious jewels and metals, it is called"counterfeit" since the article is made with a secretcache or compartment for small substances, picturesor another jewel. Some nobles on the holodramashave "poison rings" for their rival's drink, but thesearticles serve more than melodrama. Corporate spiescan hide a microchip in a belt buckle, an addict couldconceal her habit in a hair accessory or a soldier maykeep his best girl's picture in a locket. This articlemust be crafted from the start as "counterfeit"and holds at least 1 dose of poison (or some othersmall article). This item requires a Craft (jewelry)check (0C 15).

However, the inltrator does not gain anyvision benets since this is an optical camera witha miniaturized transmitter (range 5 m).
