SPECIAL FEATURES

• Acoustic Amplification: The collar contains multiple sonic emitters that can amplify an Ithorian's natural concussive scream.
• Concealed Blaster: A small, automatic blaster pistol is concealed within the collar's chassis and can be deployed with a quick hand gesture or neural trigger.

STRENGTHS

• Unconventional: The sonic amplification of the Ithorian's natural sonic bellow is an unexpected and potent weapon against unarmored or lightly armored foes.
• Hidden Firepower: The concealed automatic blaster pistol provides a surprising, last-resort option for a pacifistic species not expected to be armed.

WEAKNESSES

• Limited Use: The collar can be used for a maximum of three concussive blasts before a recharge period is needed, and the Ithorian user is left physically exhausted.
• Species-Specific Use: The collar's primary function is entirely dependent on the unique anatomy of an Ithorian, specifically their four throats. It is completely unusable by any other species.

DESCRIPTION

Outwardly, the Mark II Ithorian Amplification Collar resembles a standard Ithorian translation collar, allowing its wearer to communicate in Galactic Basic Standard. However, its true function is to enhance the Ithorian's sonic bellow.

The collar operates by detecting the vibrations from the Ithorian's four throats and then channeling this raw acoustic energy through a network of resonant crystals and miniature sonic emitters. The device focuses and amplifies the Ithorian's scream into a devastating, high-frequency blast that can stun, disorient, or potentially even rupture the organs of unarmored targets.

To further its deceptive purpose, it also includes a concealed blaster. This small, automatic blaster pistol, made from standard blaster components, is hidden within the collar's durasteel chassis. With a simple neural command or a subtle movement of the Ithorian's head, the blaster can be deployed from the underside of the collar.
