Haxion Brood Bounty Hunter Armor

The Haxion Brood was a significiant bounty hunting syndicate during the Rise of the Empire era. They have persisited to this day with differing levels of success and fame over a century later. The Bounty Hunters of the Haxion Brood are the most common and mobile members of the Brood active to this day.

The Bounty Hunters are sometimes called Syndicate Troopers since Commandos and Bounty Droids are also used to hunt down targets. They utilize a design of jetpack that is seldom used by others outside of the Haxion Brood making them identifiable. They also utilize both wrist flamers and wrist rockets. While still providing decent protection in terms of coverage, coupled with the jetpack and other equipment the Bounty Hunters of the Haxion Brood can make for nimble enemies if you find yourself with a price on your head. Keep in mind they are less likely to take their quarry alive than most other hunters. The Haxion Brood sometimes gives involuntary


LEGALITY

Restricted but legal. The Haxion Brood do not have a positive stance with most law enforcement though some tolerate them as bounty hunters. Will likely be stopped in civilized envrionment since the Brood rarely goes towards the core.

Functions

Function 1: Filter
  • Filters are bulky attachments to a helmet, or function as part of a mask, that filter out environmental contaminants such as smoke or most toxins. They are susceptible to caustic substances and damage.
  • Force User Compatible?: Yes
Function 2: Thermal undersuit
  • Thermal undersuits wick away or reflect thermal energy for brief periods of time. They are not nearly as effective as a suit that firefighters would wear. Most commonly used to protect soldiers from flamethrower weapons or short bursts of extreme heat or cold, and are only good for 1-2 posts of exposure depending on intensity. They are useless against blasters.
  • Force User Compatible?: No
Function 3: Wrist Flamer
  • Wrist flamers are rare, expensive, and dangerous armor attachments favored by mercenaries and soldiers more than bounty hunters, and are illegal in many systems. Wrist flamers are powered by small fuel capsules, and typically hold enough for 3 short bursts of flame. These bursts last 2 seconds, are one meter wide and have a maximum range of 3 meters. The weapon must be manually activated via button or switch, and must be disassembled to be reloaded.
  • Force User Compatible?: No
Function 4: Jet Pack
  • Jet packs are back mounted units used by elite troops increase their mobility on the battlefield. The jet pack's maximum speed is 50 kph and it carries fuel for up to five minutes of continuous flight (flight mode), but can also be fired in short bursts triggered by jumping (combat mode). The wearer can control the system to switch between modes and/or disengage it from their armor via wrist controls. These packs are cumbersome, adding an additional 8kg for the average human (larger individuals will have heavier jet packs to support their weight). While the fuel is stable enough not to explode, direct hits from weapons can trigger the system inadvertently, after which it is rendered useless.
  • Force User Compatible?: No
Function 5: Wrist Rocket
  • Wrist rockets have a flight range of 100 meters and have a blast radius of 3 meters. They are single-shot devices and require manual reloading after use. They are effective against lightly armored vehicles, moving parts such as gears or hydraulics, and infantry, and do equivalent damage to a frag grenade. The must be manually fired by button or trigger.
  • Force User Compatible?: No
