SPECIAL FEATURES
- Built-in vocabulator / annunciator provides clear, audible speech or else sound dampener muffles verbal sounds entirely, at the user’s discretion.
- Compact closed-circuit rebreather system, providing up to eight (8) hours of breathable air when no other source is available.
- Filters dust particles, smoke, harmful and / or noxious chemicals, airborne toxins and pathogens, and poisonous gases from the atmosphere to ensure breathable air.
- Computer Interface Visor uses augmented reality to translate complex computer algorithms and code into easy-to-understand symbols and words when active, making slicing, coding, and interacting with programming used in droids, ships, vehicles, computers, and other systems much more simplified.
- Aural Amplifiers combine with active noise cancellation (ANC) technology to allow the user to hear whispered conversations at distances up to 20m, while reducing background noise, white noise, etc. for improved clarity. Uses bone-conduction hearing technologies, eliminating obvious earbuds or headphones, maintaining low-profile eavesdropping capability.
- Ballistic-grade polarizing lenses offer protection against debris and other particles/projectiles and account for incredible durability against rough use, wear, and damage. Since made with solarium glasteel, these thin lenses provide some small measure of protection against blasters and flash to the eyes as well as collect light energy - making the unit self-powered.
- Anti-fog and moisture-beading coating on lenses allows vision to remain unobstructed.
- Enhances natural vision up to 100x.
- Augmented reality HUD provides near-real time information data-streaming. An encrypted wireless connection to Visanj's comlink implant network provides access to HoloNet, communications, etc. With a simple touch control to the small capture button located on the right side, Visanj can capture a holo-image, using the integrated micro-camera/recorder. This will in turn send the image to a database on her on ship, where it can be compared and the contents identified and pertinent information returned quickly.
- The micro-camera and microphone can capture and record up to 120 standard minutes of digital audio/visual recordings, which can be transmitted over the encrypted wireless commlink connection or played back using touch controls.
- Built-in DNA Tracer-Tracking, rangefinder, targeting-assistance, and low-grade weapons scanner.
- Can be submerged up to 30m.
- Silhouette provides protection to eyes, temples, nose, and mouth of the user without the encumbrance of a full helmet or facemask.
- Filters air, ensuring safe, breathable air to the user, and in lieu of an available source such as in space or while underwater, provides up to eight hours of breathable air through closed-circuit rebreather system.
- Permits either clear, audible speech or dampens and muffles verbal sounds to allow user to speak at normal volume levels and remain unheard, as well as audio clarity and hearing protection even enabling eavesdropping up to 20m.
- Augmented reality HUD links with Visanj’s implanted communications system to enable excellent information and real-time streaming of data.
- Multi-spectrum vision enhancement, targeting assistance, tracking, and integrated sensor systems grant extraordinary situational awareness and operational capability.
- Lightweight design and stealth materials aid in covert operations and movement by helping to prevent detection and without hindering freedom of movement.
- Hardened against EMP/Ion.
- Covers much of the face, making it impossible to be worn discreetly.
- Due to the use of CBS Dermi-Seal to affix the mask into position, it can only be removed using a standard medical-grade ultrasound wand prior to the 20-24 hour natural absorption / dissolution time; Inversely, without additional adhesive, the mask cannot be worn beyond this time frame, making it useless to the user in the field.
- Can feel claustrophobic when first worn, making it uncomfortable for unaccustomed users.
- Doesn’t protect uncovered areas of the head and face whatsoever.
- Can defend against a glancing blow from a lightsaber or indirect shot from a blaster pistol, but anything more targeted or powerful will not be stoppable; likewise, the unit will protect against bladed weapons and impacts, but the wearer will feel the impact and likely experience some shock and discomfort.
- Aural amplification and noise-cancelling has maximum range of 20m, and will not entirely eliminate background noise, white noise, etc.
- Weapons detector has limited range and capability, only detecting powered weapons within 5m maximum range.Cannot penetrate most concealment measures, i.e. baffleweave, reflec, etc.
- DNA tracer requires roughly five minutes to program a single mark, and can only hold programming for that mark alone.Must be reprogrammed for every new mark.
- Maximum 120 minutes of recording time is lowered if numerous still images are also maintained on file.
- Cannot operate computer interface visor, weapons detector, DNA tracing, or real-time data streaming to HUD simultaneously; one function must be chosen at the sake of others. (Ex.:Visanj cannot receive GPS information and use weapons detector at same time.)
- Unit is resilient, not indestructible. It can be crushed or broken. Able to be submerged water and resistant to shock, they are not meant to be beaten with hammers.
- Keyed specifically to Visanj's cybernetic network, it can only be used by her and pose risk for an elite slicer to use as 'back door' into her cyber-net; appropriate cautions must be taken when using them, depending on the feature(s) being used.
- Vulnerable to sonic damage.
- Completely undefended against Force Abilities.
Designed to be applied and held in place using CBA Dermi-Seal, the snug-fitting facemask combines the features of the Breath Mask and Glasses Visanj had previously created with the aesthetics and capabilities of the GE-AVM into a single facemask meant to be used in a variety of scenarios. Lightweight, durable, and unobtrusive, it neither hinders nor inhibits normal head movements or affects movement in any way.
Providing a wide-array of sensors, communications, and visual capabilities, the facemask enables its user to overcome a variety of challenges in the field, from tracking and targeting to situational awareness to uninterrupted surveillance and encrypted communications, this mask is on par with most battle helmets found across the galaxy. Its filtration and respiratory enhancement make it suitable for diving, use in space, even in hostile environments or amidst the chaos of battle. Offering a small but sure measure of defense to the areas it covers, protecting the eyes, nose, and mouth in combat, and shielding the ears from sonic damage (even though sonic weapons can likely damage the mask itself), it lends a feeling of increased defense and security to the user as well.
In all, the Silhouette is an asset in the field that can make all the difference between life and death, victory and defeat, at those crucial moments when everything comes down to having the right tool for the job!
