Approved Tech Siae's Belt

[Siae Andronike]

SPECIAL FEATURES
Siae's belt consisted of three parts: A standard utility belt, a bandolier (worn like a chest strap, Sam Browne-style, connected to the utility belt, and a quickdraw holster, also connected to the utility belt. All three pieces were made from pieces of rancor hide, making them exceptionally tough, and treated with a Norris root-based sealant, making them resilient against lightsabers and plasma-type weapons to ensure it was hard to 'cut away'.

• Utility Belt: The utility belt features a Corellian-style buckle, made from matte grey betaplast, and a number of compartments, also made from betaplast and using magno-lock closures, keyed to her own biometrics. Each of these eight pouches could contain small items of survival gear or spare rations, power cells, or other useful items. A special magnetic plate allowed her to carry her lightsaber at the small of her back.
• Bandolier: The bandolier was a chest strap, connected to the utility belt and worn over right shoulder, which enhanced the load-bearing capacity of the entire system while ensuring a snug fit, preventing it from getting in the way. It too, features several betaplast pouches, using the same biometric locks, to allow her to carry further gear.
• Gun Belt: Finally, the 'quickdraw' holster, slung low on her left hip, enabled her to rapidly draw her blaster pistol, a style used by gunslingers, spacers, and soldiers across the galaxy for millennia. The exact style was Corellian, known for its iconic appearance – as when Han Solo wore one – and its tried-and-tested usefulness.

STRENGTHS

• Tough and Durable: Made from rancor leather and treated with an all-weather coating made with Norris root dye, the sturdy leather belts are able to take quite a bit of punishment, wear, and tear. The fact that cutting it away from Siae, even with a stroke of lightsaber, is all but impossible, gave her sense of security while wearing it. The magno-locks, keyed to her biometrics, would foil pickpockets and thieves also.
• Form-Fitting Reliability: Because of its 'Sam Browne' styling, the bandolier also served as a chest strap, ensuring a snug fit that found the entire apparatus moving with her body as she fought, ran, swam, or engaged in any sort of physical activity. With secure pouches containing key items of field gear and spare power cells, Siae knew she would never be caught without necessities, making her rig a vital part of her daily attire.

• No Peeking: Impregnating the betaplast compartments and holster with durinium, Siae was able to conceal the items carried on her belt from most handheld and walk-through scanners, allowing her oftentimes to slip past security easily and unnoticed.

WEAKNESSES

• Belt's Tough, It Ain't Armor: It's a belt, not a suit of armor. Despite its toughness and resilience, the belt isn't protecting anything other than the very little bit it covers.
• Belt is Stealthy, You Not So Much: Yes, it uses durinium-impregnation to shield the contents of its various compartments and the holster, but it doesn't shield the wearer, only the contents of the belt from most handheld scanners, droid sensors, and walk-through scanners.

DESCRIPTION
Siae designed her belt to fit snug to her torso and hips, and to be worn beneath her overtunic, casually concealed from onlookers, save for the quickdraw holster on her hip. Made from tough rancor hide leather and treated with a Norris root-based all-weather sealant, it's designed to be tough and sturdy, even in the toughest conditions. The 'Sam Browne' style of the bandolier . utility belt combo helped to enhance its load-bearing effectiveness while at the same time enabling her to move without constriction or hinderance while wearing it. The durinium-impregnated pouches and their biometric coded magno-locks would dissuade pickpockets and would-be thieves, making casual scans and sensor detections much more difficult, while ensuring she'd not lose anything store within them, and the betaplast compartments protected their contents.

Per her usual loadout, Siae carries the following items in her belt:

• Energy Capsules: Modeled on those carried by the Jedi Order and the ration cubes carried by Clone Commandos, these capsules contained a days' worth of nutrition (e.g., vitamins, minerals, and other nutrients necessary for survival and sustainment) but lacked taste. Their bland, dry texture made them unappealing to eat but could keep a being alive for many days without other food sources. They're odorless, and have minimal fiber, causing the consumer to express less waste material when eaten regularly.
• Water Capsules: Small capsules, containing water, and taking two would provide the standard Human or Near-Human with a half days' supply.
• Fast Flesh Medpac: With an extra Bacta Spray and a flash sterilizer. Siae's medical kit also carried a supply of anti-radiation pills.
• A liquid cable launcher and grappling hook, both of which could be attached to her blaster pistol, combining to become an ascension gun for use in climbing and other applications.
• Spare Rylith blaster power packs for her pistol.
• A Treppus-2 vibro-knife, which features an integrated recharging module in its extendible sheath which had diagnostic software and self-sharpening technology. This weapon also boasts built-in vibration dampening, though this had been upgraded after-market to lessen the sound of the vibration generator.
• A lightsaber maintenance kit and a multi-tool.
