OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: A cybernetic arm slash ultra-low-capacity bag of holding.
- Image Source: Nelson Tai
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: Somewhat inspired by Kyle Katarn's ability to carry a concussion rifle, a bowcaster, a repeater, a brace of mines, a rifle, a pistol, a lightsaber, a grenade belt...
- Manufacturer: iBorg Prosthetic Augments
- Affiliation: Closed Market (ask first)
- Model: The Diamant Katarn, from iBorg
- Modularity: Can be adapted to fit arms lost either above or below the elbow.
- Production: Semi-unique
- Material: Durasteel, pyronium, advanced electronics
- Classification: Arm (forearm, with or without including the elbow)
- Size: Average
- Weight: Average
- Resistances:
- Energy: High
- Kinetic: High
- Lightsabers: None
- Other:
- EMP/Ion: Low (will usually be paralyzed and reboot in 30 seconds)
- Dimensional concealment chamber.
- Comlink.
- An internal chamber can fit a lightsaber, a small blaster, etc. The chamber extends into pyronium-generated interdimensional hyperspace lattice, which can fit half a dozen such objects. In simplest terms, the arm contains a low-capacity 'bag of holding,' from which various small weapons and items can be withdrawn.
- Anything concealed in the lattice doesn't show up on weapons scans.
- The items can't be more than a few centimeters wide (e.g. a lightsaber hilt or a blaster turned sideways).
- Lightsabers will chop through this arm just fine. If the arm's internal chamber is destroyed, anything stored in the lattice will be lost, adrift in hyperspace.
- EMP/ion weapons can disable and paralyze the arm for 30 seconds, give or take. If this happens, anything stored in the lattice might or might not be lost.
- ABSOLUTELY DO NOT access the concealment chamber, either to deposit or to retrieve, while you are in hyperspace. It won't work, and will probably lose you both the stored object(s) and the use of your arm.
- ABSOLUTELY DO NOT stick your other hand through the aperture, which has safeguards to prevent such things. Should you circumvent the safeguards through finess or brute force, you will expose your hand to the hard vacuum of hyperspace and probably bump stored objects out of the pyronium-based energy lattice to be lost forever.
- ABSOLUTELY DO NOT put anything through that can't endure prolonged vacuum exposure.
The Diamant Katarn prosthetic arm is an evolution of pyronium hyperspace-lattice technology. A chamber inside fronts on a hyperspace transition where the user can store various small objects. An object stored inside is transitioned to the hyperspace lattice and manipulated for quick recall across intervening centimeters by miniature tractor beams. The control panel on the inside of the forearm allows the user to label and index stored items in a rudimentary way, and select which item will emerge.
Apart from all of that insane internal functionality, the Diamant Katarn looks like, and is, your average durasteel prosthetic arm with a built-in comlink. It won't show up as anything hugely unusual on sensors: the technology is too wacky to appear as anything but a small hypercomm comlink.
