- Manufacturer: Locke and Key Mechanics
- Affiliation: Locke and Key Mechanics
- Market Status: Closed Market
- Model: Ichnea System
- Modularity: No
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Materials: Electronics | Gamma Radiation Emitters
- Can hit targets with a radiation ‘tag’ that allows them to be tracked.
- Can be implanted in a gun, cybernetic implant or armour
- The Ichnaea is able to create a beam of gamma radiation which can infuse a target, while the target is so infused it can be tracked by sensors.
- The radiation tags last until they run out, allowing multiple targets to be tagged if needed.
- Due to the penetrative power of gamma radiation, it can penetrate walls, allowing the target to be tracked through buildings.
- Requires line of sight to tag an enemy.
- The tag only lasts until the radiation runs out
- The Ichnaea deals no damage by itself.
The field of battle is an ever-changing picture, a chessboard where the pieces were caught up in a dance of motion. Being able to locate a single target, a single piece in the mess, was an invaluable piece of information, and information is power. Perhaps the ultimate form of power.The Ichnaea is Locke and Key’s answer to this requirement, a way for its user to tag a target to allow them to be seen to be spotted through the use of a radiation beam. The radiation beam, when held on a target, irradiates the target with gamma radiation. The dosage delivered is not enough to be dangerous, but does show up on radiation sensors, allowing a target marked as such to be located once they have passed from view.
The slow decline of the radiation allows it to be used to create a tag for a later orbital or tactical strike or to allow operatives to track a target through a city or a jungle.
