Ziptie – The ziptie is a nano breach application used as a restraint. Once placed onto exposed flesh, the app immediately unpacks itself, blocking an individual’s wire from transmitting a call for help, and rendering body augmentation inert. A military version can take control of a soldier’s SmartCarbyne endoskeleton, rendering the victim temporarily immobile.
WEAPONRY & ARMOR
Dazzlers – Decoy ECM (electronics counter-measures) drones, usually under the command of a flight crew’s co-pilot. Each drone emits ECM and can jam signals, robbing enemy ships of their ability to coordinate their attack.
Banshees – Fighter-bomber drones, usually under the command of a flight crew’s co-pilot. Each Banshee mounts a five-centimeter laser, and is capable of strafing runs. In addition, each carries a pair of missiles, their yields varying by Banshee model type.
Griffins – Stealth drones encased in highly covert layers of high-performance electromagnetic shielding that hides the EM signature of small but powerful fusion reactors so efficiently, the cross-sectional return disappears within a star system’s heliospheric current sheet.
CUSP – Compact Ultra-Short Pulse pistol uses a pulsed, laser-induced plasma to either paralyze, flash-bang, flash-blind, or deliver searing pain, depending on the weapon’s setting.
P-SCAR – Pulsed Special Combat Assault Rifle.
RAU-19 – Railgun mounted on DAP Helios attack craft.
