Purpose: Cutting line under tension.
Damage: 1D4 SD; No PS bonuses apply.
Range: 1 to 3 yards, depending on who made it and what
mood he was in at the time.
Attacks per melee: Per user.
Payload: Unlimited (until some asshole breaks it).Identity Tags: All UGC Militry personnel are issued identity cards AND a set of tags. Though they look and mostly feel like the old dog tags of Terra; No other culture in the original founding Inter-Planetary Alliance had anything like it. Better still, the REF has long since developed a method for using the identity tags AS the ID itself- A process that involves inserting a macrochip IN the metal itself. Just put your tags in the slot, making sure to keep the legible part up (so it fits down correctly). With it, you can unlock a computer equipped with access control using password-protection, access controlled-areas, etc; It is the general key, though oddly they cant seem to figure out why the tags cant be used as car keys; Its always a problem of either too much access or not enough. The best example to date was when they first came out. A Lt Col couldnt get into her office, couldnt get her tank nor her unlock her computer; But she COULD activate any Destroid on the command. A Staff Sergeant, on the other hand, could get literally anywhere on the command, start any Mecha or vehicle, and basically had all access. He should have had restricted access, and NO Mecha access on his tags. The problem, they think, is understanding the access update methodology, but to date the answers theyve tried have caused more problems; On Mars, a nuclear reactor almost overloaded when the system locked out an authori
zed user. In the meantime, the tags have been de-authorized as car/Mecha keys, but otherwise they work fine. (An oddity on the oddity, they DO work on aero-spacecraft, ships, etc.) They are also available for civilian use, but are kinda expensive.
Purpose: Identifcation and access control.
Cost: Individual tags cost about 5 each pair, and come with chains, chain covers, rubber silencers, and a short second chain, as depicted. Most soldiers, however, after a while take all that crap off, use a small piece of cord, and tape the damned things together.
The control system, what makes the tags work, however, cost about 5ุุ,ุุุ per planet.Emergancy Escape Breathing Device:
