Imaskari Holocom Bracers

To facilitate field communications, the futuristic version of the imaskari enclaves (index) often employ adjustable holocom bracers, possessing a segmented ceramic shell, with a keyboard interface set beneath a pair of sliding panels and a row of transparent ceramic lenses running down its length.

• Ceramic matrix shell exterior.
• Typically sealed against extreme and hostile environments.
• Electromagnetic, temperature and radioactivity resistant insulation.
• EMP shielded processors, data drives and restoration systems, with hack-defense encryption and wipe protocols.
• A miniature ansible and various transceivers facilitate communications between the bracer and other devices, while a miniaturized holographic device can both record and display both visual and auditory information received and translated by the bracer.
• A camera and microphone enable the bracer's wearer to interface with the bracer and those with whom they make contact.

Imaskari Gravitic Driveguns

Gravitic driveguns are a common category of firearms employed by the futuristic version of the imaskari enclaves (index). These weapons produce and propagate gravity pulses to propel each individual unit of ammunition at high velocity. With or without ammunition, these weapons can be set to discharge each gravity pulse they produce immediately after any round that pulse might have launched. A discharged gravity pulse appears as an elongated transparent light-distorting ripple slightly thicker than whatever round it was used to propel, and is capable of impacting a target with an amount of crushing force not quite as devastating as a full bore assault round, albeit they do not travel nearly as far.

• Typically sealed and insulated against extreme and hostile environments.
• Electromagnetic, temperature and radioactivity resistant insulation.
• Despite the fact that gravitic driveguns are significantly less noisy than other kinds of ballistic firearms, sound suppressors are still often used to help cancel out and diminish the sound they produce when fired.
• Rangefinding laser scopes are often used to assist with accuracy.
• Sensor Baffling devices are used to help prevent these firearms from registering to various sensors.

Imaskari employ various types of ammunition for gravitic driveguns, including but limited to, the following:

• Full bore assault rounds are composed of atomically depleted high density metals.
• Cryonic shells expel pressurized mutagen when broken upon impact, resulting in a sudden endothermic reaction that freezes what remains of the shell and the surrounding target, often rendering it prone to shatter.
• When broken on impact, tangler shells expel normally inert substances that form a sticky compound when combined. This small glob of compound then bonds to whatever it comes into contact with as it expands into a gelatinous substance, covering large portions of the target as it hardens into an immobilizing layer of chitinous material.

Imaskari Scouting Probes

The scouting probes most commonly employed by the futuristic version of the imaskari enclaves (index) are sleek segmented non-reflective cermet ovoids, three feet long and two feet wide, covered in various recessed sensors set behind transparent ceramic lenses, further protected by cermet armored iris apertures.

• These droids are considered objects, and are placed under the effect of hardening (SpC 109), augment object (SBG) and nondetection (PH) as often as can be arranged.
• Their effective size is Small, with effective Strength and Dexterity scores of 22. Wind speeds and water currents affect scouting probes as if they were three sizes larger than they actually are.
• Cermet matrix armor plating.
• Typically sealed against extreme and hostile environments.
• Electromagnetic, temperature and radioactivity resistant insulation.
• Inertial surplus converters.
• When active, a minor Alcubierre drive on each probe, surround it in a field that warps and wrinkles the fabric of space in the direction of travel. This reduces the actual distance it needs to cover to reach a given destination, without increasing the probe's actual velocity beyond that provided by its engines.
• Miniaturized induction engines on each probe, provide it with swift and silent propulsion through the manipulation of artificial gravity.
• A compact advanced sensor array includes among other things, hi-res video and audio, electromagnetic sensors, spectroanalyzers, multiphase radar, mass detectors, piercing visors and biomed scanners.
• Each probe includes EMP-shielded AI core processors, data drives and restoration systems, with hack-defense encryption and wipe protocols.
• Each probe derives power from an EMP-shielded system that includes supercapacitor arrays composed of carbon-nanotube papers, recharged from energy produced by a miniaturized particle fusion reactor.
• A compact ansible and various transceivers facilitate communications between the probe and other devices, while a compact holocom device can both record and display both visual and auditory content for face to face interactions.
• Cloaking screens warp light and energy about the probes, rendering them invisible to sight and most other sensors, or at least harder to notice, locate or identify.

These devices could also be thought of as a swift flying egg-shaped R2D2 or C3P0 droids, except they only sense, analyze, translate, network and communicate, while remaining as stealthy as possible.
