Description: The Angie was a cybernetic limb that was created by Nikias using his tools and knowledge of Makrosian technology. Even though Joza Perl only lost a hand to her battle against the Sith, replacing the entire arm could prove to be more beneficial in the long run. Better to get rid of it in the present than waiting for a Sith to take the rest in the future. The main body of the prosthetic is made of phrik granting it a high resistance to energy weaponry so Joza would not have to worry about another lightsaber taking the limb. However due to the unnaturally light nature of phrik the arm would lack strength so a layer of tungsten was placed along the inner workings to add a bit of weight and density to the arm.
The Angue does weigh more than Joza’s original arm but with the hydraulics and actuators in it the weight is easily compensated for. This arm does grant increased strength when compared to Joza’s old arm measuring at 1.5-2x stronger in most circumstances. Without sensory receptors in the limb Joza will have to be far more aware when using a lightsaber as she won’t be able to feel it. Though neither will she feel pain from this arm.
Inside the arm Nikias used the same technology his shield was made of and implanted a Makrosian shield into it. This allows shock and awe tactics as well as a viable defense in situations where Joza may need to use it. With the entire arm being made of metal and the shield emitter being built into it no longer does she have to worry about the Makrosian’s shield’s weakness against kinetic force though the arm can still be dented. When using the shield it will destroy whatever Synthflesh is covering the arm at the time thus revealing the cybernetic limb.
