[SIZE=9pt]OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Original description: As pods go, Jorus’ racer is less maneuverable than some but faster and more durable than most. Built to professional standards by experienced makers of small luxury craft, it is essentially a rich boy's plaything. A few expensive tweaks and miniaturized gadgets maximize survivability, and with the right modules installed it can be a half-decent long-range personal transport. Overall, though, it is mostly an unexceptional race pod, track legal on Malastare, Nar Shaddaa, and other major race worlds.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Additional notes: Jorus’ pod has a long but unimpressive track record. It failed to complete its most notable [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]race[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt], against the Lords of the Fringe at a racetrack on Phu. However, the vehicle saw considerably more success as a long-haul low-profile air transport for the Underground. During one such mission, Jorus was forced to abandon the podracer while evacuating the Dagoyan Masters during an ill-fated [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]return[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] to Phu. The evacuation was a success, and Jorus’ hasty concealment of his beloved pod kept it from being discovered by the One Sith. Considerably later, he sneaked back to Phu and recovered the vehicle that he'd originally commissioned as a much younger and wealthier man. [/SIZE]

- [SIZE=9pt]Material: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]Duraplast, transparisteel[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Size:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Small. Jorus’ podracer is compact and professionally built with a sizeable budget involved. It’s an efficient, low-profile design.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Brakes: [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]The podracer’s original design incorporated forward-facing thrusters on the cockpit module and both engines. Since then, Jorus has added a forward/downward diagonally-oriented repulsor, an ‘emergency brake.’[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Boosters:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Jorus’ podracer has no booster technologies[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Type of engine:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Jet engines coupled with advanced repulsorlifts[/SIZE]

- [SIZE=9pt]Special Features and Components:[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Tow cable[/SIZE] - [SIZE=9pt]Miniature emergency shield generator[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Inertial dampeners[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Shock couch[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Locator beacon[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Black box[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]The rear-oriented tow cable fits to a modular attachment point in the underside of the cockpit module. The tow cable is capable of pulling a speeder truck or tangling a medium walker’s legs.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]The miniature emergency ray/particle shield generator deploys its field around the cockpit module in the event of a catastrophic collision. The shock couch and inertial dampeners fill a similar emergency-only function.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]The locator beacon, set to ‘off’ by default, is a relic of Jorus’ days using the podracer as a long-haul transport. The black box (flight recorder) dates back to those events as well.[/SIZE]
- [SIZE=9pt]Jorus’ podracer is quite durable and light.[/SIZE]
