Ashin Cardé Varanin
Are you on the square?
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Ashin Varanin has collected sniper rifles for a very long time, and some of the bigger pieces in her collection come with really problematic recoil. Years back, she commissioned these shoulder pads from the specialized workshop Bard Independent. The good gadgeteers at Bard miniaturized an inertial compensator and an anticoncussion field within one flexible, vibration-dampening, wearable piece of gear. It's become more important as Ashin gets older and the dark side takes its toll on her body.
- Intent: Finally getting around to subbing one of Ashin's favorite pieces of sniper gear.

- Affiliation: Ashin Varanin and select customers
- Market Status: Closed-Market (ask first)
- Model: Anticoncussion Shoulder Pad
- Modularity: No
- Production: Semi-Unique
- Material: Electronics, padding, condensed-matter composite
- Miniaturized anticoncussion field
- Miniaturized inertial compensator
- Allows the wearer to fire disproportionately powerful weapons (e.g. anti-materiel mass driver rifles) without dislocating a shoulder, breaking a collarbone, or ripping an arm off.
- I suppose if someone tried to hit the wearer in the shoulder pad with a club, it wouldn't work terribly well, but the shoulder pad isn't armor in any serious way.
- Requires specialized maintenance; good for one or two engagements, but not an extended operation.
- Just a shoulder pad.
