PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Sword Herald Special Purpose Enterprises
• Affiliation: Sword Herald Special Purpose Enterprises
• Market Status: Closed
• Model: N/A
• Modularity: Yes
• Production: Mass Produced
• Material: Cloned, Genetically Modified Amphistaff Power Gland Tissue

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Bundles of Solar powered Living Tissue that can be programmed to generate a shield to any piece of equipment it's attached to that is highly resistant to Lightsabers
• Can operate for months inside weapon without maintenance
• Tissue can be grown quickly and easily and can be preserved in Stasis Chambers
• Only needs to absorb sunlight for 28 minutes

STRENGTHS

• PRAISE THE SUN!: This tissue is based off that of the Power Gland in Amphistaffs, genetically spliced with plants to allow it to feed on Solar Energy, which the tissue does with seventy percent efficiency, allowing it to function for up to seven months. Constantly generates a protective energy field that resists Lightsabers to a High degree.
• Utilitarian: The Tissue is modified so that it will adhere to any Armor or weapon it is implanted in, often going into the grips or stock of weapons, and into the chest plates of armor, and is genetically modified to accept integration with circuitry so it it can be calibrated to generate a specific field for a specific item
• Grown fast: Can be grown fast in genetic 3D printers

WEAKNESSES

• Blow Limit: Can only take up to 7 full on blows from a Lightsaber before it shuts down for two minutes and needs to recharge
• Anti-Vong: Being based off Vong Tissue, it's very vulnerable to Alpha Red and Baffer Pollen
• Biotech: Requires a biotech took kit to properly maintain
• Charge time: It takes 28 minutes for a small bundle of tissue to charge
• Must be paired with circuitry: It requires being paired with a basic programmable circuit so it can be "told" the type of field to generate for a given item. If the circuitry is damaged, it's protective field becomes uneven for a given item over time, and eventually goes dormant without the signals

DESCRIPTION

Programmable Energy Tissue--stop paying up the nose for Cortosis Weave!

--Sales Pitch

This tissue has been developed with an aim at helping put to rest much of House Io's dependancy on Cortosis Sources for Anti-Lightsaber Equipment. As the House leans in to biotech more and more, the desire to make itself self sufficient as possible becomes forefront, not just because of a need to innovate, but to deny it's rivals the ability to cut off vital resources.
