SPECIAL FEATURES

Small grenade package delivers an inordinate amount of smoke for a relatively small grenade. Essentially if you want to smoke out a room roughly twenty by ten meters across/wide one grenade should do the trick. And this stuff is a fine powder with an irritant in it to essentially cause a slight burning in the eyes/lungs of people while also containing Synthetic Yorik Coral in its particulate. This is to act as a deterrent for not adequately equipped troops to just walk through willy nilly as not only can you not see a bloody thing through this stuff, it blocks most if not all types of sensors. That and it stings a bit to those without a mask.
Great for concealing maneuvers or other types of defensive operations to force the enemy to have to essentially move into something blind. And since its got SYC in the particulate that's flying through the air they aren't gonna use their fancy shmancy powers to either sense or move this stuff without some creativity.
If used offensively against those same people you can now have an option to potentially totally disable someone as with the force dead nature of SYC, this stuff could temporarily cut someone off from the force quite violently. Which let me tell you, is not a great experience as you might want to let them empty the contents of their stomach first before you arrest them and put them in custody.

STRENGTHS

It's a smoke grenade - This grenade is a smoke grenade. It can be used to signal people, provide some concealment for your guys in the combat zone, or even as an offensive less than lethal weapon with some of the same properties as tear gas. Oh and did I forget to mention it's using a force dead powder in the smoke? Yeah, that's gonna throw a curve ball in with whoever you're trying to fight especially if their the force using type.

WEAKNESSES

It's a smoke grenade - This thing isn't lethal at all. It's meant to generate concealment, signal and possibly be used to make those space wizards feel like they're extremely hung over. Not to mention it still has all of the properties of smoke. Need I say more?

DESCRIPTION

The smoke grenade. A tried and true tool in every infantryman's tool kit, the smoke grenade has many uses. From generating concealment to allow for men to maneuver, to signalling friendly forces, to being used to deny the enemy visual recon of a potential position they have to assault through. Which means that these little grenades have probably found their way across the galaxy and back across every army, every militia, and even pirates with some regularity. And now, Freebirds Industries has decided to take it one step further. By incorporating Synthetic Yorik Coral into the smoke charge, the smoke generated by the grenade is now entirely force dead, making your smoke screen even more un-see-through-able. Not to mention if you through this at some poor dude's feet and he's a Jedi/Sith type and doesn't realize what you've done. Poor guy is probably gonna lose his lunch. Just be aware that this is still a smoke grenade with a little extra kick in it to generate a bit more smoke and mess with some space wizards and sensor tech. Smoke is very much still subject to any and all forces of nature that apply.
