NAME:          "CyberBrain"
MODEL:         CLS-19X "CyberBrain" Sense-Enhancement Helmet
	       CLS-19L    (Limited Version)
TYPE:          Personal Sensor and Communications Helmet
COST:          Varies 
AVAILABILITY:  2,F,R,X
                Available for issue by Rebel Alliance.
                Unregistered use illegal in Imperial areas.
                Restricted in Imperial Areas.
                Available legally to scouts and other beings with viable 
                need.
                
GAME EFFECT:
     Armour: Provides +1D physical, +1 energy from attacks to the head.
     Sensors: Has electro-optical, infrared, ultraviolet, temperature,
               radar, sonar, proximity, energy pulse, night vision, and
               motion sensors built into helmet.  All sensors are
               integrated into the Master Situation Monitor(M.S.M.): a
               holographic virtual reality display projected onto the
               visor to provide an enhanced representation of the
               situation (which may include information beyond the
               perceptions of the wearer).  Sensors work in Passive,
               Scan, and Search mode.  There is a limited Focus mode,
               however, when in Focus mode; Scan mode is active as well
               with a -2 penalty to Scan mode stats.
                  -When MSM system is active,
                    +2  to Communications skill,
                    +2D to Initiative Perception value,
                    +2D to Search skill,
                    +1D to Blaster Skill,
                    +2  to Blaster Artillery and Vehicle Blasters when
                      helmet is connected to Vehicle targeting System

                    Using helmet sensors with MSM becomes free action,
                    activating MSM system is a normal action.
     Communications:  Helmet has built in short-range and medium-range
               comlinks, and a directional transponder built into the
               MSM.  Activating and operating communications equipment
               is a free action.  
     Coding and Decoding: 	       
	       Use of code computer when Coding or Decoding adds +1D to 
               Communications Skill roll.  Using code computer counts as 
               an extra action in addition to your coding/decoding action; 
               although once a code is completely broken (Decoder's roll is
               greater than coder's roll by 11+), listening to the rest 
               of the conversation (even if you are listening for several 
               rounds) becomes a Very Easy difficulty (you already have the 
               key in the computer memory) and listening to the rest of the 
               conversation no longer takes an action each round.
               That is, unless the Coder decides to change coding 
               algorithms (At Heroic difficult level, code algorithm changes 
               every round.  Very Difficult, algorithm changes once or twice 
               during the message depending on length.  Difficult or lower, 
               code algorithm does not change), at which point you reroll 
               the Decoding action.
               No Code Computer in Limited version.
     Oxygen Reprocessor:  A gas mask and CO2 filter.  Can be used to
               survive underwater.  Not for use in a hard vacuum (aka.
               as a spacesuit helmet).  Oxygen storage: 12 hours (using
               oxygen reprocessing and CO2 scrubbers), 2.5 hours (W/O using
               CO2 scrubbers and oxygen reprocessors)
           
This is basicly a Virtual Reality helmet.  What you see on the display
is what is happening.  You can see in the dark, you can see people
hiding behind doors, you can find a needle in a haystack (use the radar
to find a small piece of metal in the middle of a pile of organic
matter).  You also have an All-Frequency tranciever to communicate
with, and a built-in computer that is connected to all the systems that
can encrypt communications, decode digital communications, listen in on
Imperial (or Rebel) tactical communications, and do lots of fun stuff.

Standard Unit has all options and is built into a backpack/helmet 
  combination.  
  Weight: 22 lbs / 10 kilograms
Limited unit has only Short-Range Comlink, Gas-Mask (No O2 reprocessor 
  or CO2 scrubbers), Night-Vision, Motion, Proximity, and MSM options.  
  Unit is built into a helmet/waist pack combination.
  Weight: 5.5 lbs / 2.5 kilograms.
