Tetra's demeanor was quite surprising, considering the gravity of the situation. He didn't seem to be fazed by it at all. He appeared to be calm and collected. He nonchalantly moved his hands behind his head and flashed a toothy grin. "Sounds like we'll cross that bridge when we get to it," he said, almost carefree, as if he was confident they could handle whatever challenges lay ahead.

"It was a high percentage gamble, impressive in its application," You think that was meant to be a compliment from Remy, as he hands over the Chuq-chuck and Nina's bag.

"I will continue to monitor all traffic and attempt to intercept and decrypt secure messages. It might be good to capitalise on this new reputation as it will soon spread to certain individuals hearing"

His eyebrows furrow, and his lips purse in concentration. He seems lost in thought as if trying to unravel a complex puzzle, "What's a low percentage gamble?"

"A gamble that's got almost no chance to work, but needs to be taken anyway." Shade's voice seemed distant, as though he wasn't entirely speaking about the here and now. He was staring in the direction the Vipers went, but whether he was actually watching to see if they came back or just staring into space was hard to say with the helmet on. With a small shake of the head, he said, "I hope this Raden fellow is more amenable to conversation than Kessra."

Tetra thought for a moment and then rubbed his chin, still deep in thought, "What I am trying to say is, aren't the odds always stacked against the players? They say, 'The house always wins'. I mean, there's a reason why there are so many sayings about it."

Remy, processing Tetra's contemplation with his typical analytical rigour, responded, "Indeed, Tetra, the adage 'The house always wins' is rooted in the fundamental principles of probability and economic gain that govern gaming establishments. This saying originates from the recognition that casino games are structured inherently to provide a statistical advantage to the establishment, known as the 'house edge.' This edge ensures that, while players may win games on individual occasions, the casino is guaranteed to make a profit over a large number of games played."

He continued, "The house edge is embedded in the rules of each game, subtly shifting the odds in favour of the casino. For example, in the game of Pazaak, if the player and the dealer both bust, the player loses. In Ryllette, the zero or double zero on the wheel creates a scenario where even bets on red or black have less than a 50% chance of winning. Additionally, Zadek machines are programmed with payout percentages that dictate how much of the money put into them will be paid back to players over time, always less than the total inserted. Thus, the house maintains its advantage through these mechanisms, ensuring its long-term profitability despite the occasional payouts to winning players."

Remy, devoid of personal feelings but equipped to provide clear explanations, offered this insight to help Tetra understand that the odds in casino games are deliberately and systematically designed to favour the house, encapsulating the essence of the gambling industry's enduring maxim.

Zen joined with the rest of the group an obvious look of disappointment on his face as the fingers of his right hand tapped away at the grip of his holstered blaster. Though he gave Nina a nod of approval he looked on as the swoop gang took off into the distance.

"I'm up for whatever path you guys wanna walk." Was all Zen said as he made a quick sweep of the area then turning to face the cantina.

"Thanks, Remy," Nina beamed as she'd taken her pack and the musical instrument case in which chuq-chuck lay concealed. She'd busied herself resettling her pack and the two instrument cases on her back, situating them so she could easily move about or run, and had easy access to the opening side of chuq-chuck's case--all the while, listing to the banter of the males. She'd continued to think of Remy as a male until the impression had stuck. Which was just as well: she was more comfortable in the company of men, even hardened men like these.

Satisfied with the arrangement of her gear, she looked to the others, realizing they'd been waiting for her. "I'm ready," she announced awkwardly, interrupted by a memory of Atherton teasing her for always making him late for their high society evening event.

Shrugging off the memory, she pressed on. "So I've been thinking. The next piece of our story is that we're hear to meet someone who is difficult to find. We were supposed to be greeted by a devaronion kid, known on the streets as Womp Rat. He was supposed to show us the way. But he didn't show at the landing pad, and we got tired of waiting. So we're looking for him."

She looked to the others for confirmation that they got the gist of the story. "That's the story we tell if people get suspicious. Otherwise, we just tell them we're looking for a devaronion kid named Womp Rat."

Again, a pause to make sure people understood the shared deception, and that no one was going to propose any better idea.

Once the details of the cover story were settled, the twi'lek looked to Shade and Zen, who she was beginning to think of as the group's tactical leaders. "So do we start our search hear or should we put some distance between ourselves and the cantina?"

Melee +1 Snap BatonThe Snap Baton is a collapsible Weapon that expands from its tiny handle to become a 1-meter-long rod. In its collapsed form, it is easily carried in a pocket or Utility Belt.

Expanding or collapsing a Snap Baton takes a Swift Action. Several models are available, including specially colored versions to appeal to a wide range of customers. Models that incorporate additional functions such as a panic alarm or a built-in Glow Rod sell for double the price.

One model made by Merr-Sonn even includes an outer layer of sound dampening material that muffles the sound made when the Snap Baton hit its target. Snap Batons are popular in urban areas, especially with thugs.

w/Folded Stock, Range Finder, & Flash Suppressor/Silencer: 0-20 PB -0; 21-40 S -0
RETRACTABLE STOCK
1. Extending or folding a Retractable Stock is a Move Action.
2. When the Retractable Stock is folded, the following rules apply:
>Treat the Weapon as a Pistol for purposes of proficiency and Range.
>You cannot Brace the Weapon while using it in Autofire mode, even if it is an Autofire-only Weapon.
3. When the Retractable Stock is extended, the following rules apply:
>Treat the Weapon as a Rifle for purposes of proficiency and Range.
>You take a -5 penalty on attack rolls with the Weapon if you use it in one hand (Regardless of its size relative to you).
BIPOD
1. A bipod is an attached two-legged stand that steadies the barrel of a Rifle or Heavy Weapon when Aiming or using Autofire.
2. Preparing a Bipod for use is a Move Action, and you cannot prepare a Bipod unless you are either Prone or adjacent to low objects (or other waist- to chest-height Cover) that are between you and your target. If you move, you cannot use the Bipod until you prepare it again.
3. A Bipod makes Aiming easier. If you have already Aimed at or attacked a particular target, each subsequent Aim Action requires only a Swift Action. This benefit is lost if you attack or Aim at any other target.
TARGETING SCOPE
1. A Targeting Scope (Standard) reduces the Range by one category (for example, from Medium to Short Range). However, you must Aim at your target to gain this benefit, and you lose the benefit if you change targets or lose line of sight to your target.
RANGEFINDER
1. Any Ranged Weapon can have a Rangefinder built into it... takes no penalty when used to attack a target at Short Range. This is essentially an improved version of a Targeting Scope, and thus its benefits do not stack with those of Targeting Scopes. (However, a Weapon can have both a Rangefinder and a Targeting Scope, using the latter only when Aiming at targets at Medium or Long Range.)
FLASH SUPPRESSOR/SILENCER
1. Fitting over the muzzle of any Small or larger Slugthrower, this device reduces both the sound and the muzzle flash when the weapon is fired. A Flash Suppressor/Silencer imposes a -10 penalty to Perception checks to discern the sound or spot the flash of an equipped Slugthrower.
2. It reduces the maximum Range of the weapon by two range increments. (2d12+2 piercing), +4 Saturday Night Special (3d6+2 piercing)

Equipment

• All-Temperature OutfitA refluffed All-Temperature Cloak.
  
  Weight: 1.5 Kilograms
  
  This wrap-around cloak protects its wearer from the elements, providing +5 Equipment bonus to its wearer's Fortitude Defense against extreme heat or cold. (worn): zippered all-temperature low-cut t-shirt, all-temperature stretch pants, all-temperature crop jacket with hood in large zippered collar, all-temperature stretch neck gaiter (in jacket pocket), all-temperature gloves, all-temperature hiking boots, polarized sunglasses (in jacket pocket)
• Camouflage PonchoWeight: 1.5 Kilograms
  
  The Camouflage Poncho is worn over Armor to conceal the wearer from being spotted. Special materials track the surrounding area and alter the pattern of the Camouflage Poncho, smoothing and blending the wearer's silhouette. Typical examples include the Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles Camouflage Poncho. A Camouflage Poncho grants a +5 Equipment bonus to Stealth checks.
• [Female Twi'lek] Earbud ComlinkThe Earbud Comlink is a tiny Comlink fitted for the wearer's ear, allowing unobtrusive private communication for anyone needing to be discreet- ambassadors, card cheats, and spies, for example. The Earbud Comlink's size, shape, and color give the wearer a +5 Equipment bonus to Deception checks for the purpose of hiding its presence.
  
  The Earbud Comlink can be programmed to initiate or receive a transmission when the wearer touches his or her ear or even clicks or grinds his or her teeth. Because of its minute size, the Earbud Comlink has the same range as a Comlink (Short-Range)- 50 kilometers or low orbit. (concealed in ear: DC 33 Perception check to spot)
• Hypoinjector WristbandWeight: 0.1 Kilograms
  
  An inconspicuous metal band, the Hypoinjector Wristband can help a wearer avoid succumbing to the effects of Poisons and other harmful chemicals. The refillable wristband stores up to 8 doses of vaccines, antidotes, or other medication. In addition to the Hypoinjector, the Wristband also houses a bioscanner that continually scans the wearer for any foreign chemicals that the device can counteract. When a harmful substance is detected, the Hypoinjector administers the appropriate drug. Refilling the Wristband requires a Standard Action per dose or 4 rounds for the entire set. The device runs on two Energy Cells that must be replaced after 5 days of constant use. (worn)
• Miniatureized Survival KnifeA small hand-held Weapon with a sturdy blade, the Survival Knife can be used as both a tool and a weapon, making it popular with explorers and survivalists alike. It is frequently issued to pilots in military units in the event they are shot down and survive their Vehicles' destruction.
  
  The handle is hollowed out to allow storage of very small items, typically rudimentary Survival Gear such as a Fire Rod, a short length of binding wire, or an Energy Cell.
  
  A character who has a Survival Knife can always determine which way is north thanks to the built-in digital compass.
  
  Weapon Type: Simple Weapons (Melee)

  Cost: 100 (+500 for miniaturization)
  Damage: 1d4
  Weight: .7 Kilograms
  Type: Slashing
  Special: Can be Thrown (Inaccurate; Cannot be Thrown at targets at Long Range) (sheathed on thigh)
  • Fire PasteWeight: 0.1 Kilograms
    
    Fire Paste is a thick beige substance that can act as a fuel for starting a fire. The paste, once squeezed from its tube, can be placed on virtually any surface, including ice and wet wood. With a single spark, the paste ignites, burning for 3d4 minutes. If applied to a living creature or an object, the burning paste causes 1d6 points of Fire damage as long as it burns and remains in contact with the creature or object. A single squeeze tube contains 5 applications of Fire Paste. (in miniaturized survival knife hilt)
• Hip HolsterWeight: 0.5 kg
  
  Holsters are generally available for all Medium or smaller weapons. (Larger weapons are usually carried on shoulder straps, hangers, or baldrics that cost as much as a Hip Holster.).
  
  Hip Holster: This Holster holds the weapon in an easily accessed- and easily seen- location. (concealed in field kit pack)
  • Chuq-ChukSLUGTHROWER RIFLE
    A Slugthrower Rifle is the larger cousin of the Slugthrower Pistol. It doesn't need a Power Pack; instead, it takes clips containing "Slugs," with each clip holding 20 Slugs. Clips cost 40 credits and, weigh 0.2 kg.
    Weapon Type: Rifles
    Size: Medium
    Cost: 300
    Damage: 2d8

    • Retractable StockUpgrade Point Cost: 0 or 1 (See below)
      
      Availability: Common
      
      Any Rifle or Pistol (as well as Rifle- or Pistol-like Exotic Weapons (Ranged)) can have a Retractable Stock added. This Upgrade requires 1 Upgrade Slot for a Pistol, but 0 Upgrade Slots for a Rifle. (A Rifle already has a stock, which can be replaced with the Retractable Stock.) Extending or folding a Retractable Stock is a Move Action.
      
      When the Retractable Stock is folded, the following rules apply:
      1. Treat the Weapon as a Pistol for purposes of proficiency and Range.
      2. You cannot Brace the Weapon while using it in Autofire mode, even if it is an Autofire-only Weapon.
      
      When the Retractable Stock is extended, the following rules apply:
      1. Treat the Weapon as a Rifle for purposes of proficiency and Range.
      2. You take a -5 penalty on attack rolls with the Weapon if you use it in one hand (regardless of its size relative to you).
    • BipodUpgrade Point Cost: 0
      Availability: Common
      
      A Bipod is an attached two-legged stand that steadies the barrel of a Rifle or Heavy Weapon when Aiming or using Autofire. Preparing a Bipod for use is a Move Action, and you cannot prepare a Bipod unless you are either Prone or adjacent to low objects (or other waist- to chest-height Cover) that are between you and your target. If you move, you cannot use the Bipod until you prepare it again.
      
      A Bipod counts as a mount for any Weapon that requires it (such as a Heavy Repeating Blaster or an E-Web Repeating Blaster). For other Weapons, a Bipod makes Aiming easier. If you have already Aimed at or attacked a particular target, each subsequent Aim Action requires only a Swift Action. (Under these circumstances, a character with the Sniping Master Talent can Aim as a Free Action once per round.) This benefit is lost if you attack or Aim at any other target.
      
      A Bipod adds 20% to the weight of the Weapon (minimum 1 kilogram).
    • RangefinderUpgrade Point Cost: 1
      Availability: Licensed
      
      Any Ranged Weapon can have a Rangefinder built into it. Such a Weapon takes no penalty when used to attack a target at Short Range. Thus, a Blaster Pistol with a Rangefinder Upgrade takes no Range penalty on attacks against targets up to 40 squares away.
      
      This is essentially an improved version of a Targeting Scope, and thus its benefits do not stack with those of Targeting Scopes. (However, a Weapon can have both a Rangefinder and a Targeting Scope, using the latter only when Aiming at targets at Medium or Long Range.)
    • Targeting ScopeUpgrade Point Cost: 0
      
      A Targeting Scope is a sighting device that makes it easier to hit distant targets. However, it affords a very limited field of view, making it difficult to use. Installing a Targeting Scope on a rifle or pistol requires 10 minutes, and a DC 10 Mechanics check.
      
      Standard: A Targeting Scope (Standard) reduces the Range by one category (for example, from Medium to Short Range). However, you must Aim at your target to gain this benefit, and you lose the benefit if you change targets or lose line of sight to your target.
• Concealed Shoulder HolsterConcealed Holster: A Concealed Holster is designed to help keep a weapon out of sight. On most cases, this is a Shoulder Holster (the weapon fits under the wearer's armpit, presumably beneath a jacket, vest, or cloak). Small or Tiny weapons and single-bladed Lightsabers can be carried in concealed waistband holsters (often placed inside the wearer's waistband in the small of the back). Tiny weapons and single-bladed Lightsabers can also be carried on ankle, boot, or wrist Holsters.
  
  A Concealed Holster allows you to draw a Concealed weapon as a Move Action, instead of a Standard Action, but you take a -5 penalty on your Stealth check to conceal the weapon.
  • Saturday Night SpecialMINIATURIZED SLUGTHROWER PISTOL
    
    A Slugthrower Pistol fires metal bullets -called "slugs"- instead of energy bolts.
    
    Slugthrowers are mostly found on backwater fringe worlds where blasters aren't readily available. They don't need Power Packs; instead, they employ clips that hold 10 slugs apiece. Clips cost 20 credits, and weigh 0.1 kg.

• Cotsum Synth-Leather Utility BeltWeight: 4 Kilograms
  
  A Utility Belt has 10 pouches containing a standard array of items. Each pouch can carry 0.5 kg.
  • Pocket 1: Snap BatonThe Snap Baton is a collapsible Weapon that expands from its tiny handle to become a 1-meter-long rod. In its collapsed form, it is easily carried in a pocket or Utility Belt.
    
    Expanding or collapsing a Snap Baton takes a Swift Action. Several models are available, including specially colored versions to appeal to a wide range of customers. Models that incorporate additional functions such as a panic alarm or a built-in Glow Rod sell for double the price.
    
    One model made by Merr-Sonn even includes an outer layer of sound dampening material that muffles the sound made when the Snap Baton hit its target. Snap Batons are popular in urban areas, especially with thugs.

  • Pocket 2: Flash Suppressor/SilencerUpgrade Point Cost: 0
    
    Weight: 0.2 Kilograms
    
    Availability: Common
    
    The Merr-Sonn Nonsonic is a typical example of a Flash Suppressor/Silencer. Fitting over the muzzle of any Small or larger Slugthrower, this device reduces both the sound and the muzzle flash when the weapon is fired. A Flash Suppressor/Silencer imposes a -10 penalty to Perception checks to discern the sound or spot the flash of an equipped Slugthrower. It reduces the maximum Range of the weapon by two range increments., MedisensorWeight: 0.1 Kilograms
    
    Sweeping this small, handheld sensor over the subject's body produces a summary of the patient's vital signs. An MDS-50 Medisensor can be used as a Swift Action on an adjacent creature or character, providing the user with the target's current hit points, its place on the Condition Track, and the presence of (but no specifics on) Diseases, Poison, or Radiation exposure., Recording Unit: Audio & Video
  • Pocket 3: Half a roll of Mesh TapeWeight: 0.5 Kilograms (half a roll = 0.25)
    
    The usefulness of Mesh Tape is limited only by a character's imagination. Mesh Tape adhesive has a Strength score of 15, and can support up to 90 kg indefinitely (And up to 180 kg for up to 5 rounds). Mesh Tape itself has a Strength score of 20 when used to bind another character, and requires a DC 20 Strength check to break.
    
    A roll provides 30 meters (20 squares) of Mesh Tape, that is 5 centimeters wide. (half a roll is 15 meters or 10 squares), , Liquid Cable DispenserWeight: 0.2 Kilograms
    
    Cable Dispensers contain a special liquid that instantly solidifies upon contact with either atmosphere or vacuum to form a tough, lightweight, flexible cable. The dispenser contains enough liquid for 15 meters (10 squares) of cable, and is refillable at authorized outlets. The cable has a Strength score of 28, can safely support up to 560 kg, and it can be broken with a DC 24 Strength check.
  • Pocket 4: Ammo Clip (20 rounds), Ammo Clip (20 stun rounds), Ammo Clip (10 rounds)
  • Pocket 5: makeup kit, hygiene kit, perfume
  • Pocket 6: Ration Pack x3, Personal MultitoolWeight: 0.2 Kilograms
    
    People who explore the untamed wilderness need many Tools. In most cases, full-sized Tools can be unwieldy, especially when cargo space is a limited commodity. The Personal Multitool is a low-tech device that holds miniature versions of several simple Tools that can be useful in the wilderness. Although the arrangement of the implements can vary, the standard Personal Multitool configuration for beings of Medium size includes a 5-cm vibroblade, a low-power hydrospanner, a small hydrogrip, a toothpick, and a miniature set of eating utensils. These Tools are stored within the 6-cm handle and each fold out on a hinge. The vibroblade, hydrospanner, and hydrogrip are all powered by a single Energy Cell that must be replaced after 50 hours of constant use. The vibroblade can be used as a melee weapon that deals 1d4 points of damage.
  • Pocket 7: MedpacWeight: 1 Kilograms
    
    Medpacs are compact packages designed to both equip a trained medic for work in the field and allow untrained individuals to apply First Aid in emergencies. A Medpac contains bandages, Bacta, synthetic flesh, coagulants, stimulants, and other medicines designed to help an injured patient recover quickly.
    
    Once you use a Medpac, its contents are expended even if your Treat Injury check is not successful. Any given creature can only benefit from the use of a Medpac once in a 24-hour period., Antitoxin PatchThis adhesive patch is applied near the stomach (or similar organ, depending on the Species). It emits a low dose of antitoxin, giving the wearer a +10 Equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense against Ingested Poisons and a +5 Equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense against Inhaled Poisons. An Antitoxin Patch lasts for 24 hours. For each consecutive day that an Antitoxin Patch is worn, the target moves -1 step on the Condition Track.
  • Pocket 8: Flash CanisterTypically used in the combat training of Jedi apprentices, the R-9 Flash Canister is an explosive device that causes dozens of tiny shells within the canister to burst forth and then detonate, creating a blinding flash of white light and piercing sound.
    
    The Flash Canister has a 3-Square Burst radius, and like other Grenades it is designed to explode on contact after it is thrown, effectively causing the bright flash of light in the same round it is hurled. When you make an Area Attack with a Flash Canister, you make a single attack roll and compare the result to the Reflex Defense of every target in the Grenade's Burst radius. Creatures hit take no damage, but all targets have Total Concealment against the creature until the start of the attacker's next turn.
    
    Blind creatures are immune to this effect.

  • Pocket 9: Smoke GrenadeA Smoke Grenade produces a cloud obscuring fog that blocks sight. Smoke Grenades come in a variety of colors, making them useful as a signaling method to mark aerial attacks or call for evacuation.
    
    Smoke Grenades fill a 2-Square Burst radius with thick smoke that provides Concealment and creates a Smoke Hazard within the area. This cloud lasts for 10 rounds.

"We probably shouldn't be asking questions around here, just in case the Vipers decide they want to collect from us after all. Still, we should probably go other places to ask questions. If we can find a public terminal, Remy, do you think you could slice it and run a search to see if there's any digital records of where we can find Raden?" Shade wasn't sure about spending money on accomodations, but he knew that if they asked enough questions, they could find him.

Nina was surprised--in a good way--by the droid's input on the information gathering plan. However, she refrained from commenting, waiting for further input from the others, and realizing the more important question was whether or not to remain at the cantina or look for a different location in which to gather information.

The twi'lek nodded to Shade's strategic assessment of the situation, waiting to hear if Zen had anything to add. So far, the lanky soldier had proved rather taciturn, but his actions had revealed him to be a tactical and strategic thinker. Then she looked to the droid, remembering the obvious--that he too seemed programmed for tactics and strategy.

But anyone else could add to the conversation, the twi'lek remembered something important. "Oh poodoo, I forgot about Sirona. She needs an update about Kessra."

Nina stepped away from the conversation for a moment, switching comm channels and contacting the ship captain. She gave the woman a quick update, letting her know about Kessra, about the deception that had driven the gangster off, and encouraging Sirona to keep to the ship and not take any unnecessary risks.

Closing down the comm channel, she stepped back to the group.

Melee +1 Snap BatonThe Snap Baton is a collapsible Weapon that expands from its tiny handle to become a 1-meter-long rod. In its collapsed form, it is easily carried in a pocket or Utility Belt.

Expanding or collapsing a Snap Baton takes a Swift Action. Several models are available, including specially colored versions to appeal to a wide range of customers. Models that incorporate additional functions such as a panic alarm or a built-in Glow Rod sell for double the price.

One model made by Merr-Sonn even includes an outer layer of sound dampening material that muffles the sound made when the Snap Baton hit its target. Snap Batons are popular in urban areas, especially with thugs.

w/Folded Stock, Range Finder, & Flash Suppressor/Silencer: 0-20 PB -0; 21-40 S -0
RETRACTABLE STOCK
1. Extending or folding a Retractable Stock is a Move Action.
2. When the Retractable Stock is folded, the following rules apply:
>Treat the Weapon as a Pistol for purposes of proficiency and Range.
>You cannot Brace the Weapon while using it in Autofire mode, even if it is an Autofire-only Weapon.
3. When the Retractable Stock is extended, the following rules apply:
>Treat the Weapon as a Rifle for purposes of proficiency and Range.
>You take a -5 penalty on attack rolls with the Weapon if you use it in one hand (Regardless of its size relative to you).
BIPOD
1. A bipod is an attached two-legged stand that steadies the barrel of a Rifle or Heavy Weapon when Aiming or using Autofire.
2. Preparing a Bipod for use is a Move Action, and you cannot prepare a Bipod unless you are either Prone or adjacent to low objects (or other waist- to chest-height Cover) that are between you and your target. If you move, you cannot use the Bipod until you prepare it again.
3. A Bipod makes Aiming easier. If you have already Aimed at or attacked a particular target, each subsequent Aim Action requires only a Swift Action. This benefit is lost if you attack or Aim at any other target.
TARGETING SCOPE
1. A Targeting Scope (Standard) reduces the Range by one category (for example, from Medium to Short Range). However, you must Aim at your target to gain this benefit, and you lose the benefit if you change targets or lose line of sight to your target.
RANGEFINDER
1. Any Ranged Weapon can have a Rangefinder built into it... takes no penalty when used to attack a target at Short Range. This is essentially an improved version of a Targeting Scope, and thus its benefits do not stack with those of Targeting Scopes. (However, a Weapon can have both a Rangefinder and a Targeting Scope, using the latter only when Aiming at targets at Medium or Long Range.)
FLASH SUPPRESSOR/SILENCER
1. Fitting over the muzzle of any Small or larger Slugthrower, this device reduces both the sound and the muzzle flash when the weapon is fired. A Flash Suppressor/Silencer imposes a -10 penalty to Perception checks to discern the sound or spot the flash of an equipped Slugthrower.
2. It reduces the maximum Range of the weapon by two range increments. (2d12+2 piercing), +4 Saturday Night Special (3d6+2 piercing)

Equipment

• All-Temperature OutfitA refluffed All-Temperature Cloak.
  
  Weight: 1.5 Kilograms
  
  This wrap-around cloak protects its wearer from the elements, providing +5 Equipment bonus to its wearer's Fortitude Defense against extreme heat or cold. (worn): zippered all-temperature low-cut t-shirt, all-temperature stretch pants, all-temperature crop jacket with hood in large zippered collar, all-temperature stretch neck gaiter (in jacket pocket), all-temperature gloves, all-temperature hiking boots, polarized sunglasses (in jacket pocket)
• Camouflage PonchoWeight: 1.5 Kilograms
  
  The Camouflage Poncho is worn over Armor to conceal the wearer from being spotted. Special materials track the surrounding area and alter the pattern of the Camouflage Poncho, smoothing and blending the wearer's silhouette. Typical examples include the Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles Camouflage Poncho. A Camouflage Poncho grants a +5 Equipment bonus to Stealth checks.
• [Female Twi'lek] Earbud ComlinkThe Earbud Comlink is a tiny Comlink fitted for the wearer's ear, allowing unobtrusive private communication for anyone needing to be discreet- ambassadors, card cheats, and spies, for example. The Earbud Comlink's size, shape, and color give the wearer a +5 Equipment bonus to Deception checks for the purpose of hiding its presence.
  
  The Earbud Comlink can be programmed to initiate or receive a transmission when the wearer touches his or her ear or even clicks or grinds his or her teeth. Because of its minute size, the Earbud Comlink has the same range as a Comlink (Short-Range)- 50 kilometers or low orbit. (concealed in ear: DC 33 Perception check to spot)
• Hypoinjector WristbandWeight: 0.1 Kilograms
  
  An inconspicuous metal band, the Hypoinjector Wristband can help a wearer avoid succumbing to the effects of Poisons and other harmful chemicals. The refillable wristband stores up to 8 doses of vaccines, antidotes, or other medication. In addition to the Hypoinjector, the Wristband also houses a bioscanner that continually scans the wearer for any foreign chemicals that the device can counteract. When a harmful substance is detected, the Hypoinjector administers the appropriate drug. Refilling the Wristband requires a Standard Action per dose or 4 rounds for the entire set. The device runs on two Energy Cells that must be replaced after 5 days of constant use. (worn)
• Miniatureized Survival KnifeA small hand-held Weapon with a sturdy blade, the Survival Knife can be used as both a tool and a weapon, making it popular with explorers and survivalists alike. It is frequently issued to pilots in military units in the event they are shot down and survive their Vehicles' destruction.
  
  The handle is hollowed out to allow storage of very small items, typically rudimentary Survival Gear such as a Fire Rod, a short length of binding wire, or an Energy Cell.
  
  A character who has a Survival Knife can always determine which way is north thanks to the built-in digital compass.

  • Fire PasteWeight: 0.1 Kilograms
    
    Fire Paste is a thick beige substance that can act as a fuel for starting a fire. The paste, once squeezed from its tube, can be placed on virtually any surface, including ice and wet wood. With a single spark, the paste ignites, burning for 3d4 minutes. If applied to a living creature or an object, the burning paste causes 1d6 points of Fire damage as long as it burns and remains in contact with the creature or object. A single squeeze tube contains 5 applications of Fire Paste. (in miniaturized survival knife hilt)
• Hip HolsterWeight: 0.5 kg
  
  Holsters are generally available for all Medium or smaller weapons. (Larger weapons are usually carried on shoulder straps, hangers, or baldrics that cost as much as a Hip Holster.).
  
  Hip Holster: This Holster holds the weapon in an easily accessed- and easily seen- location. (concealed in field kit pack)
  • Chuq-ChukSLUGTHROWER RIFLE
    A Slugthrower Rifle is the larger cousin of the Slugthrower Pistol. It doesn't need a Power Pack; instead, it takes clips containing "Slugs," with each clip holding 20 Slugs. Clips cost 40 credits and, weigh 0.2 kg.

    • Retractable StockUpgrade Point Cost: 0 or 1 (See below)
      
      Availability: Common
      
      Any Rifle or Pistol (as well as Rifle- or Pistol-like Exotic Weapons (Ranged)) can have a Retractable Stock added. This Upgrade requires 1 Upgrade Slot for a Pistol, but 0 Upgrade Slots for a Rifle. (A Rifle already has a stock, which can be replaced with the Retractable Stock.) Extending or folding a Retractable Stock is a Move Action.
      
      When the Retractable Stock is folded, the following rules apply:
      1. Treat the Weapon as a Pistol for purposes of proficiency and Range.
      2. You cannot Brace the Weapon while using it in Autofire mode, even if it is an Autofire-only Weapon.
      
      When the Retractable Stock is extended, the following rules apply:
      1. Treat the Weapon as a Rifle for purposes of proficiency and Range.
      2. You take a -5 penalty on attack rolls with the Weapon if you use it in one hand (regardless of its size relative to you).
    • BipodUpgrade Point Cost: 0
      Availability: Common
      
      A Bipod is an attached two-legged stand that steadies the barrel of a Rifle or Heavy Weapon when Aiming or using Autofire. Preparing a Bipod for use is a Move Action, and you cannot prepare a Bipod unless you are either Prone or adjacent to low objects (or other waist- to chest-height Cover) that are between you and your target. If you move, you cannot use the Bipod until you prepare it again.
      
      A Bipod counts as a mount for any Weapon that requires it (such as a Heavy Repeating Blaster or an E-Web Repeating Blaster). For other Weapons, a Bipod makes Aiming easier. If you have already Aimed at or attacked a particular target, each subsequent Aim Action requires only a Swift Action. (Under these circumstances, a character with the Sniping Master Talent can Aim as a Free Action once per round.) This benefit is lost if you attack or Aim at any other target.
      
      A Bipod adds 20% to the weight of the Weapon (minimum 1 kilogram).
    • RangefinderUpgrade Point Cost: 1
      Availability: Licensed
      
      Any Ranged Weapon can have a Rangefinder built into it. Such a Weapon takes no penalty when used to attack a target at Short Range. Thus, a Blaster Pistol with a Rangefinder Upgrade takes no Range penalty on attacks against targets up to 40 squares away.
      
      This is essentially an improved version of a Targeting Scope, and thus its benefits do not stack with those of Targeting Scopes. (However, a Weapon can have both a Rangefinder and a Targeting Scope, using the latter only when Aiming at targets at Medium or Long Range.)
    • Targeting ScopeUpgrade Point Cost: 0
      
      A Targeting Scope is a sighting device that makes it easier to hit distant targets. However, it affords a very limited field of view, making it difficult to use. Installing a Targeting Scope on a rifle or pistol requires 10 minutes, and a DC 10 Mechanics check.
      
      Standard: A Targeting Scope (Standard) reduces the Range by one category (for example, from Medium to Short Range). However, you must Aim at your target to gain this benefit, and you lose the benefit if you change targets or lose line of sight to your target.
• Concealed Shoulder HolsterConcealed Holster: A Concealed Holster is designed to help keep a weapon out of sight. On most cases, this is a Shoulder Holster (the weapon fits under the wearer's armpit, presumably beneath a jacket, vest, or cloak). Small or Tiny weapons and single-bladed Lightsabers can be carried in concealed waistband holsters (often placed inside the wearer's waistband in the small of the back). Tiny weapons and single-bladed Lightsabers can also be carried on ankle, boot, or wrist Holsters.
  
  A Concealed Holster allows you to draw a Concealed weapon as a Move Action, instead of a Standard Action, but you take a -5 penalty on your Stealth check to conceal the weapon.
  • Saturday Night SpecialMINIATURIZED SLUGTHROWER PISTOL
    
    A Slugthrower Pistol fires metal bullets -called "slugs"- instead of energy bolts.
    
    Slugthrowers are mostly found on backwater fringe worlds where blasters aren't readily available. They don't need Power Packs; instead, they employ clips that hold 10 slugs apiece. Clips cost 20 credits, and weigh 0.1 kg.
    
    Weapon Type: Pistols

• Cotsum Synth-Leather Utility BeltWeight: 4 Kilograms
  
  A Utility Belt has 10 pouches containing a standard array of items. Each pouch can carry 0.5 kg.
  • Pocket 1: Snap BatonThe Snap Baton is a collapsible Weapon that expands from its tiny handle to become a 1-meter-long rod. In its collapsed form, it is easily carried in a pocket or Utility Belt.
    
    Expanding or collapsing a Snap Baton takes a Swift Action. Several models are available, including specially colored versions to appeal to a wide range of customers. Models that incorporate additional functions such as a panic alarm or a built-in Glow Rod sell for double the price.

    Weight: 0.2 Kilograms
    
    Availability: Common
    
    The Merr-Sonn Nonsonic is a typical example of a Flash Suppressor/Silencer. Fitting over the muzzle of any Small or larger Slugthrower, this device reduces both the sound and the muzzle flash when the weapon is fired. A Flash Suppressor/Silencer imposes a -10 penalty to Perception checks to discern the sound or spot the flash of an equipped Slugthrower. It reduces the maximum Range of the weapon by two range increments., MedisensorWeight: 0.1 Kilograms
    
    Sweeping this small, handheld sensor over the subject's body produces a summary of the patient's vital signs. An MDS-50 Medisensor can be used as a Swift Action on an adjacent creature or character, providing the user with the target's current hit points, its place on the Condition Track, and the presence of (but no specifics on) Diseases, Poison, or Radiation exposure., Recording Unit: Audio & Video
  • Pocket 3: Half a roll of Mesh TapeWeight: 0.5 Kilograms (half a roll = 0.25)
    
    The usefulness of Mesh Tape is limited only by a character's imagination. Mesh Tape adhesive has a Strength score of 15, and can support up to 90 kg indefinitely (And up to 180 kg for up to 5 rounds). Mesh Tape itself has a Strength score of 20 when used to bind another character, and requires a DC 20 Strength check to break.
    
    A roll provides 30 meters (20 squares) of Mesh Tape, that is 5 centimeters wide. (half a roll is 15 meters or 10 squares), , Liquid Cable DispenserWeight: 0.2 Kilograms
    
    Cable Dispensers contain a special liquid that instantly solidifies upon contact with either atmosphere or vacuum to form a tough, lightweight, flexible cable. The dispenser contains enough liquid for 15 meters (10 squares) of cable, and is refillable at authorized outlets. The cable has a Strength score of 28, can safely support up to 560 kg, and it can be broken with a DC 24 Strength check.
  • Pocket 4: Ammo Clip (20 rounds), Ammo Clip (20 stun rounds), Ammo Clip (10 rounds)
  • Pocket 5: makeup kit, hygiene kit, perfume
  • Pocket 6: Ration Pack x3, Personal MultitoolWeight: 0.2 Kilograms
    
    People who explore the untamed wilderness need many Tools. In most cases, full-sized Tools can be unwieldy, especially when cargo space is a limited commodity. The Personal Multitool is a low-tech device that holds miniature versions of several simple Tools that can be useful in the wilderness. Although the arrangement of the implements can vary, the standard Personal Multitool configuration for beings of Medium size includes a 5-cm vibroblade, a low-power hydrospanner, a small hydrogrip, a toothpick, and a miniature set of eating utensils. These Tools are stored within the 6-cm handle and each fold out on a hinge. The vibroblade, hydrospanner, and hydrogrip are all powered by a single Energy Cell that must be replaced after 50 hours of constant use. The vibroblade can be used as a melee weapon that deals 1d4 points of damage.
  • Pocket 7: MedpacWeight: 1 Kilograms
    
    Medpacs are compact packages designed to both equip a trained medic for work in the field and allow untrained individuals to apply First Aid in emergencies. A Medpac contains bandages, Bacta, synthetic flesh, coagulants, stimulants, and other medicines designed to help an injured patient recover quickly.
    
    Once you use a Medpac, its contents are expended even if your Treat Injury check is not successful. Any given creature can only benefit from the use of a Medpac once in a 24-hour period., Antitoxin PatchThis adhesive patch is applied near the stomach (or similar organ, depending on the Species). It emits a low dose of antitoxin, giving the wearer a +10 Equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense against Ingested Poisons and a +5 Equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense against Inhaled Poisons. An Antitoxin Patch lasts for 24 hours. For each consecutive day that an Antitoxin Patch is worn, the target moves -1 step on the Condition Track.
  • Pocket 8: Flash CanisterTypically used in the combat training of Jedi apprentices, the R-9 Flash Canister is an explosive device that causes dozens of tiny shells within the canister to burst forth and then detonate, creating a blinding flash of white light and piercing sound.
    
    The Flash Canister has a 3-Square Burst radius, and like other Grenades it is designed to explode on contact after it is thrown, effectively causing the bright flash of light in the same round it is hurled. When you make an Area Attack with a Flash Canister, you make a single attack roll and compare the result to the Reflex Defense of every target in the Grenade's Burst radius. Creatures hit take no damage, but all targets have Total Concealment against the creature until the start of the attacker's next turn.
    
    Blind creatures are immune to this effect.

  • Pocket 9: Smoke GrenadeA Smoke Grenade produces a cloud obscuring fog that blocks sight. Smoke Grenades come in a variety of colors, making them useful as a signaling method to mark aerial attacks or call for evacuation.
    
    Smoke Grenades fill a 2-Square Burst radius with thick smoke that provides Concealment and creates a Smoke Hazard within the area. This cloud lasts for 10 rounds.

"My current programming does not include advanced Slicing capabilities. However, with one hour's time, I can modify several of my subroutines to acquire the necessary skills to assist in this capacity."

Remy’s head pivots precisely towards Nina, conveying urgency through his mechanized movements. "It is advisable not to depart from this location until we have secured a confirmed destination. Furthermore, following the nature of your recent meeting, it would be strategically prudent to project confidence by remaining here to partake in a beverage before proceeding."

With that directive, Remy manoeuvres to the bar and inquires, "Could you provide information on accommodations nearby that are of fine quality or better?"

Effect: When you make a ranged attack with a slugthrower or sporting weapon with which you are proficient, you gain one of the following benefits, depending on the kind of weapon you use.

Nina looked to the droid, no longer surprised, but listening and occasionally nodding.

She was, however, surprised when he walked back into the cantina. She turned back to Shade. "He's got a point. We left mid-meal. Slinking off might seem more suspicious than going back in, finishing our meals or drinks, and then asking about other late-night cantinas or casinos. That's gotta factor into the strategic situation even if not the tactical."

Feeling like the decision had been made, Nina followed the droid back into the cantina, reflecting on the oddity of organics following a droid's lead.

Melee +1 Snap BatonThe Snap Baton is a collapsible Weapon that expands from its tiny handle to become a 1-meter-long rod. In its collapsed form, it is easily carried in a pocket or Utility Belt.

Expanding or collapsing a Snap Baton takes a Swift Action. Several models are available, including specially colored versions to appeal to a wide range of customers. Models that incorporate additional functions such as a panic alarm or a built-in Glow Rod sell for double the price.

One model made by Merr-Sonn even includes an outer layer of sound dampening material that muffles the sound made when the Snap Baton hit its target. Snap Batons are popular in urban areas, especially with thugs.

RETRACTABLE STOCK
1. Extending or folding a Retractable Stock is a Move Action.
2. When the Retractable Stock is folded, the following rules apply:
>Treat the Weapon as a Pistol for purposes of proficiency and Range.
>You cannot Brace the Weapon while using it in Autofire mode, even if it is an Autofire-only Weapon.
3. When the Retractable Stock is extended, the following rules apply:
>Treat the Weapon as a Rifle for purposes of proficiency and Range.
>You take a -5 penalty on attack rolls with the Weapon if you use it in one hand (Regardless of its size relative to you).
BIPOD
1. A bipod is an attached two-legged stand that steadies the barrel of a Rifle or Heavy Weapon when Aiming or using Autofire.
2. Preparing a Bipod for use is a Move Action, and you cannot prepare a Bipod unless you are either Prone or adjacent to low objects (or other waist- to chest-height Cover) that are between you and your target. If you move, you cannot use the Bipod until you prepare it again.
3. A Bipod makes Aiming easier. If you have already Aimed at or attacked a particular target, each subsequent Aim Action requires only a Swift Action. This benefit is lost if you attack or Aim at any other target.
TARGETING SCOPE
1. A Targeting Scope (Standard) reduces the Range by one category (for example, from Medium to Short Range). However, you must Aim at your target to gain this benefit, and you lose the benefit if you change targets or lose line of sight to your target.
RANGEFINDER
1. Any Ranged Weapon can have a Rangefinder built into it... takes no penalty when used to attack a target at Short Range. This is essentially an improved version of a Targeting Scope, and thus its benefits do not stack with those of Targeting Scopes. (However, a Weapon can have both a Rangefinder and a Targeting Scope, using the latter only when Aiming at targets at Medium or Long Range.)
FLASH SUPPRESSOR/SILENCER
1. Fitting over the muzzle of any Small or larger Slugthrower, this device reduces both the sound and the muzzle flash when the weapon is fired. A Flash Suppressor/Silencer imposes a -10 penalty to Perception checks to discern the sound or spot the flash of an equipped Slugthrower.
2. It reduces the maximum Range of the weapon by two range increments. (2d12+2 piercing), +4 Saturday Night Special (3d6+2 piercing)

Equipment

• All-Temperature OutfitA refluffed All-Temperature Cloak.
  
  Weight: 1.5 Kilograms
  
  This wrap-around cloak protects its wearer from the elements, providing +5 Equipment bonus to its wearer's Fortitude Defense against extreme heat or cold. (worn): zippered all-temperature low-cut t-shirt, all-temperature stretch pants, all-temperature crop jacket with hood in large zippered collar, all-temperature stretch neck gaiter (in jacket pocket), all-temperature gloves, all-temperature hiking boots, polarized sunglasses (in jacket pocket)
• Camouflage PonchoWeight: 1.5 Kilograms
  
  The Camouflage Poncho is worn over Armor to conceal the wearer from being spotted. Special materials track the surrounding area and alter the pattern of the Camouflage Poncho, smoothing and blending the wearer's silhouette. Typical examples include the Ayelixe/Krongbing Textiles Camouflage Poncho. A Camouflage Poncho grants a +5 Equipment bonus to Stealth checks.
• [Female Twi'lek] Earbud ComlinkThe Earbud Comlink is a tiny Comlink fitted for the wearer's ear, allowing unobtrusive private communication for anyone needing to be discreet- ambassadors, card cheats, and spies, for example. The Earbud Comlink's size, shape, and color give the wearer a +5 Equipment bonus to Deception checks for the purpose of hiding its presence.
  
  The Earbud Comlink can be programmed to initiate or receive a transmission when the wearer touches his or her ear or even clicks or grinds his or her teeth. Because of its minute size, the Earbud Comlink has the same range as a Comlink (Short-Range)- 50 kilometers or low orbit. (concealed in ear: DC 33 Perception check to spot)
• Hypoinjector WristbandWeight: 0.1 Kilograms
  
  An inconspicuous metal band, the Hypoinjector Wristband can help a wearer avoid succumbing to the effects of Poisons and other harmful chemicals. The refillable wristband stores up to 8 doses of vaccines, antidotes, or other medication. In addition to the Hypoinjector, the Wristband also houses a bioscanner that continually scans the wearer for any foreign chemicals that the device can counteract. When a harmful substance is detected, the Hypoinjector administers the appropriate drug. Refilling the Wristband requires a Standard Action per dose or 4 rounds for the entire set. The device runs on two Energy Cells that must be replaced after 5 days of constant use. (worn)
• Miniatureized Survival KnifeA small hand-held Weapon with a sturdy blade, the Survival Knife can be used as both a tool and a weapon, making it popular with explorers and survivalists alike. It is frequently issued to pilots in military units in the event they are shot down and survive their Vehicles' destruction.
  
  The handle is hollowed out to allow storage of very small items, typically rudimentary Survival Gear such as a Fire Rod, a short length of binding wire, or an Energy Cell.
  
  A character who has a Survival Knife can always determine which way is north thanks to the built-in digital compass.

  • Fire PasteWeight: 0.1 Kilograms
    
    Fire Paste is a thick beige substance that can act as a fuel for starting a fire. The paste, once squeezed from its tube, can be placed on virtually any surface, including ice and wet wood. With a single spark, the paste ignites, burning for 3d4 minutes. If applied to a living creature or an object, the burning paste causes 1d6 points of Fire damage as long as it burns and remains in contact with the creature or object. A single squeeze tube contains 5 applications of Fire Paste. (in miniaturized survival knife hilt)
• Hip HolsterWeight: 0.5 kg
  
  Holsters are generally available for all Medium or smaller weapons. (Larger weapons are usually carried on shoulder straps, hangers, or baldrics that cost as much as a Hip Holster.).
  
  Hip Holster: This Holster holds the weapon in an easily accessed- and easily seen- location. (concealed in field kit pack)
  • Chuq-ChukSLUGTHROWER RIFLE
    A Slugthrower Rifle is the larger cousin of the Slugthrower Pistol. It doesn't need a Power Pack; instead, it takes clips containing "Slugs," with each clip holding 20 Slugs. Clips cost 40 credits and, weigh 0.2 kg.

    • Retractable StockUpgrade Point Cost: 0 or 1 (See below)
      
      Availability: Common
      
      Any Rifle or Pistol (as well as Rifle- or Pistol-like Exotic Weapons (Ranged)) can have a Retractable Stock added. This Upgrade requires 1 Upgrade Slot for a Pistol, but 0 Upgrade Slots for a Rifle. (A Rifle already has a stock, which can be replaced with the Retractable Stock.) Extending or folding a Retractable Stock is a Move Action.
      
      When the Retractable Stock is folded, the following rules apply:
      1. Treat the Weapon as a Pistol for purposes of proficiency and Range.
      2. You cannot Brace the Weapon while using it in Autofire mode, even if it is an Autofire-only Weapon.
      
      When the Retractable Stock is extended, the following rules apply:
      1. Treat the Weapon as a Rifle for purposes of proficiency and Range.
      2. You take a -5 penalty on attack rolls with the Weapon if you use it in one hand (regardless of its size relative to you).
    • BipodUpgrade Point Cost: 0
      Availability: Common
      
      A Bipod is an attached two-legged stand that steadies the barrel of a Rifle or Heavy Weapon when Aiming or using Autofire. Preparing a Bipod for use is a Move Action, and you cannot prepare a Bipod unless you are either Prone or adjacent to low objects (or other waist- to chest-height Cover) that are between you and your target. If you move, you cannot use the Bipod until you prepare it again.
      
      A Bipod counts as a mount for any Weapon that requires it (such as a Heavy Repeating Blaster or an E-Web Repeating Blaster). For other Weapons, a Bipod makes Aiming easier. If you have already Aimed at or attacked a particular target, each subsequent Aim Action requires only a Swift Action. (Under these circumstances, a character with the Sniping Master Talent can Aim as a Free Action once per round.) This benefit is lost if you attack or Aim at any other target.
      
      A Bipod adds 20% to the weight of the Weapon (minimum 1 kilogram).
    • RangefinderUpgrade Point Cost: 1
      Availability: Licensed
      
      Any Ranged Weapon can have a Rangefinder built into it. Such a Weapon takes no penalty when used to attack a target at Short Range. Thus, a Blaster Pistol with a Rangefinder Upgrade takes no Range penalty on attacks against targets up to 40 squares away.
      
      This is essentially an improved version of a Targeting Scope, and thus its benefits do not stack with those of Targeting Scopes. (However, a Weapon can have both a Rangefinder and a Targeting Scope, using the latter only when Aiming at targets at Medium or Long Range.)
    • Targeting ScopeUpgrade Point Cost: 0
      
      A Targeting Scope is a sighting device that makes it easier to hit distant targets. However, it affords a very limited field of view, making it difficult to use. Installing a Targeting Scope on a rifle or pistol requires 10 minutes, and a DC 10 Mechanics check.
      
      Standard: A Targeting Scope (Standard) reduces the Range by one category (for example, from Medium to Short Range). However, you must Aim at your target to gain this benefit, and you lose the benefit if you change targets or lose line of sight to your target.
• Concealed Shoulder HolsterConcealed Holster: A Concealed Holster is designed to help keep a weapon out of sight. On most cases, this is a Shoulder Holster (the weapon fits under the wearer's armpit, presumably beneath a jacket, vest, or cloak). Small or Tiny weapons and single-bladed Lightsabers can be carried in concealed waistband holsters (often placed inside the wearer's waistband in the small of the back). Tiny weapons and single-bladed Lightsabers can also be carried on ankle, boot, or wrist Holsters.
  
  A Concealed Holster allows you to draw a Concealed weapon as a Move Action, instead of a Standard Action, but you take a -5 penalty on your Stealth check to conceal the weapon.
  • Saturday Night SpecialMINIATURIZED SLUGTHROWER PISTOL
    
    A Slugthrower Pistol fires metal bullets -called "slugs"- instead of energy bolts.
    
    Slugthrowers are mostly found on backwater fringe worlds where blasters aren't readily available. They don't need Power Packs; instead, they employ clips that hold 10 slugs apiece. Clips cost 20 credits, and weigh 0.1 kg.

    Weight: 0.2 Kilograms
    
    Availability: Common
    
    The Merr-Sonn Nonsonic is a typical example of a Flash Suppressor/Silencer. Fitting over the muzzle of any Small or larger Slugthrower, this device reduces both the sound and the muzzle flash when the weapon is fired. A Flash Suppressor/Silencer imposes a -10 penalty to Perception checks to discern the sound or spot the flash of an equipped Slugthrower. It reduces the maximum Range of the weapon by two range increments., MedisensorWeight: 0.1 Kilograms
    
    Sweeping this small, handheld sensor over the subject's body produces a summary of the patient's vital signs. An MDS-50 Medisensor can be used as a Swift Action on an adjacent creature or character, providing the user with the target's current hit points, its place on the Condition Track, and the presence of (but no specifics on) Diseases, Poison, or Radiation exposure., Recording Unit: Audio & Video
  • Pocket 3: Half a roll of Mesh TapeWeight: 0.5 Kilograms (half a roll = 0.25)
    
    The usefulness of Mesh Tape is limited only by a character's imagination. Mesh Tape adhesive has a Strength score of 15, and can support up to 90 kg indefinitely (And up to 180 kg for up to 5 rounds). Mesh Tape itself has a Strength score of 20 when used to bind another character, and requires a DC 20 Strength check to break.
    
    A roll provides 30 meters (20 squares) of Mesh Tape, that is 5 centimeters wide. (half a roll is 15 meters or 10 squares), , Liquid Cable DispenserWeight: 0.2 Kilograms
    
    Cable Dispensers contain a special liquid that instantly solidifies upon contact with either atmosphere or vacuum to form a tough, lightweight, flexible cable. The dispenser contains enough liquid for 15 meters (10 squares) of cable, and is refillable at authorized outlets. The cable has a Strength score of 28, can safely support up to 560 kg, and it can be broken with a DC 24 Strength check.

    People who explore the untamed wilderness need many Tools. In most cases, full-sized Tools can be unwieldy, especially when cargo space is a limited commodity. The Personal Multitool is a low-tech device that holds miniature versions of several simple Tools that can be useful in the wilderness. Although the arrangement of the implements can vary, the standard Personal Multitool configuration for beings of Medium size includes a 5-cm vibroblade, a low-power hydrospanner, a small hydrogrip, a toothpick, and a miniature set of eating utensils. These Tools are stored within the 6-cm handle and each fold out on a hinge. The vibroblade, hydrospanner, and hydrogrip are all powered by a single Energy Cell that must be replaced after 50 hours of constant use. The vibroblade can be used as a melee weapon that deals 1d4 points of damage.
  • Pocket 7: MedpacWeight: 1 Kilograms
    
    Medpacs are compact packages designed to both equip a trained medic for work in the field and allow untrained individuals to apply First Aid in emergencies. A Medpac contains bandages, Bacta, synthetic flesh, coagulants, stimulants, and other medicines designed to help an injured patient recover quickly.
    
    Once you use a Medpac, its contents are expended even if your Treat Injury check is not successful. Any given creature can only benefit from the use of a Medpac once in a 24-hour period., Antitoxin PatchThis adhesive patch is applied near the stomach (or similar organ, depending on the Species). It emits a low dose of antitoxin, giving the wearer a +10 Equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense against Ingested Poisons and a +5 Equipment bonus to Fortitude Defense against Inhaled Poisons. An Antitoxin Patch lasts for 24 hours. For each consecutive day that an Antitoxin Patch is worn, the target moves -1 step on the Condition Track.
  • Pocket 8: Flash CanisterTypically used in the combat training of Jedi apprentices, the R-9 Flash Canister is an explosive device that causes dozens of tiny shells within the canister to burst forth and then detonate, creating a blinding flash of white light and piercing sound.
    
    The Flash Canister has a 3-Square Burst radius, and like other Grenades it is designed to explode on contact after it is thrown, effectively causing the bright flash of light in the same round it is hurled. When you make an Area Attack with a Flash Canister, you make a single attack roll and compare the result to the Reflex Defense of every target in the Grenade's Burst radius. Creatures hit take no damage, but all targets have Total Concealment against the creature until the start of the attacker's next turn.
    
    Blind creatures are immune to this effect.

  • Pocket 9: Smoke GrenadeA Smoke Grenade produces a cloud obscuring fog that blocks sight. Smoke Grenades come in a variety of colors, making them useful as a signaling method to mark aerial attacks or call for evacuation.
    
    Smoke Grenades fill a 2-Square Burst radius with thick smoke that provides Concealment and creates a Smoke Hazard within the area. This cloud lasts for 10 rounds.

"Maybe preventing a major remodel of their bar might encourage the owner to become a little more talkative," Tetra offered with a shrug as they walked back in.

"Probably a valid point...alright, let's go back in. But we should focus on finishing our food and drinks, first. If we look nonchalant about the encounter, it might give us a rep as people who shouldn't be messed with." Shade followed back into the cantina.
