Emberlene's Daughter, The Jedi Generalist
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To re-submit the base model of the saotome drop pods
- Image Source: Single Occupant Exoatmospheric Insertion Vehicle
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: My Subs
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: Saotome Foundry
- Affiliation: Company Name (Sasori)
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: Drop Pod
- Modularity: Variable Internal Configurations
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material:
- Built in Equipment
- Internal Configuration
- Advanced Systems: Designed with several notable systems installed on the shipsto improve their capabilities and turn the jedi into a needed operational fighter.
- Laminanium: Designed like a Quellian ship the hull of the orbital platforms has a thin layer of the material to improve repairs and over time depending on the amount of damage it is able to patch itself up.
- Internal Configuration and Systems: Designed with small scale production systems built into panels that can be used and
- Cracken Survival Kit: Standard field kit
- Advanced Micro Thrusters: Designed to increase movement speed of the drop pod in orbit
- Refined Sleg Ultracapacitors: Designed to improve the power of the pod for protection and use.
- Advanced Regulator System: Designed to recycle oxygen and filter poisons for the pod.
- Heavy Praestigiae's Luminous Overlaid Technological Shields: Protective shielding designed to be used with the pod.
- Locator beacon: For emergencies to be retrieved with rescue ships.
- Sleg: A powerful energy enhancer, the sleg absorbs and channels the excessive heat generated by the chassis of the speeder. Making them maintain a stronger level of power but also increases the chances that they could explode from the heat.
- Built in power source: Designed with its own internal power source that is long lasting but it is largely able to power the armor and systems of the vehicle but when damaged it is highly explosive.
- Gravity: The advanced thrusters of the vehicle require gravity to function at full efficiency. Without it there can't counter gravity to get speed or thrust for the high speed movement.
- Self Repairing: Built with a protective layer to patch the vehicle in the event of damage. The time table is dependent upon the amount of damage with smaller tears being easier and faster to repair then gashes which can take hours to reform.
- Note: Only the layer can repair not the full plate armor itself the plating can be damaged still but the underlayer of Laminanium can reform and remain.
Made by Saotome for their ships, a rapid means of deploying soldiers, rangers or even jedi and equipment to the field instead of needing to risk drop ships. The benefits of it can be just as high as the drawbacks such as not having a means to really evacuate once deployed on the planet. The pods need to be retrieved and returned with carriers and crews or are just left where they fall and impact the ground. The anti grav chute deploys when it clears the programmed selevation to slow down its descent and land with less impact. THe kinetic gel used in most escape pods can absorb a high level of impact when it strikes but there is always the risk of the ground itself and what there might be in the area. Overall the pods use on ships and being able to be deployed depends on who wants to use them and the method thy are being sent out. Either from bilge (underside) launchers or from side mounted pressor cannons.
With the work that has been done on overhauling Sasori products the drop pods received their own brand of love... and care. Redesigning the internal configurations to allow for a single person still but it has the ability to be deployed and recoverd while functioning as a small base of operations albiet uncomfortable in many cases. With communications, medical and advanced power systems the engineers have set it up as the new standard in base models that they would be able to use to improve the stealth, deployment and even heavy pods for use in greater combat situations and needs.
