Arm General Info
Manufacturer: Reclaimer Arms & Industrial
Model: NA
Affiliation: [member="Keira Ticon"]
Modularity: Can be covered with synth skin or left bare
Production: Production: Unique (personal)
Material: Phrik, Agrinium,Repulse hand, Personal energy shield
Special features:
•Phrik plated
The arm is plated with phrik and is very lightsaber resistant coming in around a Class 9 in terms of armor.
•Repulse hand
This deadly weapon allows for the sensation of touch and creates a control field that can rip apart flesh and other materials.
•Agrinium Mesh
Acting like a faraday cage the mesh is meant to help prevent ion damage. While it certainly can stop the average pistol or rifle heavier weapons will do the trick.
•Energy shield (Ray/Particle)
This is not a full body encompassing shield. Due to its small size being fit into the forearm it only offers protection like so
Description
After the unfortunate incident that Keira Ticon suffered on Aurum at the hands of the Sith Lord Dredge, she was in need of a new cybernetic arm. And it just so happens that one of her best friends could engineer her one to make her better equipped to deal with the threats of a galaxy that grows more dangerous by the day.
How it's built. The base cybernetic arm is very standard. Ordered off the holonet from some random medical and cybernetic company then modified at the Reclaimer Arms & Industrial labs. The standard issue hand is removed and replaced with a Repulse Hand that serves as a built in weapon for the arm. The outer layer of plating is stripped and coveted with an Agrinium mesh before being covered with phrik plating to prevent lightsaber and blaster damage, after that a small shield generator is placed in the forearm for added protection and both systems are linked to a simple two button and dial system on the bottom forearm.
The dial controls the repulse hand, simply turn it to activate the hand to whichever intensity Keira prefers. The two buttons are for the shield, the one on the left activates the Ray shield and the one on the right the particle. It's a very simple system that Keira can manipulate with her other hand or TK abilities.
Power. Of course being a cybernetic arm physical power is increased making her hit as hard as your standard cybernetic arm would, it's a lovely feature to have but this of course pales in compassion to the phrik plating. Lightsaber resistance allows Keira to be able to stop sabers and protect herself better. But for added protection the energy shield will serve well. It's not a terribly powerful generator due to its size but it can take a few shots from assault grade weapons and a hit or two from turret based ones before it yields. It's primarily meant to keep her safe from quick attacks and provide light cover. This all leads into the repulse hand that is a very deadly weapon that can rip apart flesh through high intensity waves. It's not to be abused and used responsibly in an RP setting.
Drawbacks. With the added features such as the shield generator and repulser hand using these frequently can have a significant effect on the battery life of the arm. They should be used sparingly unless Keira enjoys the thrill of routine maintenance and battery swapping, which can be rather difficult on a battlefield. Another weakness is of course physical weapons such as slugs, axes, swords, etc etc. These weapons are not energy based therefore a good Sith Sword can cleave the arm off or damage it heavily with enough cutting power. Large scale EMP's and Ion blasts will overload the Agrinium mesh and disable the arm. Sure it can take a shot or two from an ion weapon but repeated hits will destroy it or if the phrik plating is compromised along with the mesh the cage will fail all together.
Summary. An arm for Keira to help her out in sticky situations. It's strong and capable and will perform for her in stressful conditions.
