Item Name: Mk 6 Explosive Lure, aka the "Ka-Boom-Boom"
Item Category: Explosives
Proposed Store: Brotherhood Trading Company
Proposed Rarity: Rare
Item Description:
This weapon is an explosive device designed to inflict maximum carnage upon responding enemy forces. It is not a simple thrown grenade or buried mine, but something entirely more vicious. The Mk 6 Explosive Lure is a spike that is approximately two feet long that is driven into the ground or embedded into a building where an enemy might pass by. Once it is set in place, the distraction explosive - a basic mine - can be set onto the head of the spike and concealed as usual.

The evil of the device is in the body of the spike. It contains the actual primary explosive - large enough to wipe out enemy forces that approach the victims of the initial distraction explosion. The aim of the device is to kill or maim any backup or support units who come to the aid of the initial victims, thus causing both physical injuries as well as psychological injuries as the conflict wears on. Any later explosions will be viewed with great suspicion and trepidation on the part of the corpsman and rescuers as they will fear getting engulfed in their own deadly explosion.

It is thus unsurprising that this device is a staple in Collective armouries based on their disregard for sentient life and their belief in victory at all costs, regardless of how reprehensible the actions are. The nickname, "Ka-Boom-Boom" reflects on the Collective's ability to dissociate themselves from such heinous acts in so naming this device with an almost-childish name.

Item Name: Slicer Remote Code Pad (Model Number: RCP17)
Item Category: Electronics (Equipment)
Proposed Store: The Vault
Proposed Rarity: Rare
Item Description: The Slicer Remote Code Pad, initially developed by the Technocratic Guild in the Collective, is a dual-purpose tool for slicers or anyone else needing access to blocked places and systems. The Device is actually a small rectangular datapad with a standard-looking code cylinder attached in a holder. The code cylinder can be plugged into a computer system or door console and left there. It will use its loaded decryption tools to attempt entry. Meanwhile, the tool owner can be untethered up to 100m away using the datapad to monitor progress, view decoded data, and communicate with others on their team. This is the ultimate remotely-controlled infiltration toolkit!

1. The Stinger
2. Area weapon (Projectile)
3. Antei Armaments
4. Epic
5. The Stinger is an anti-personnel area denial weapon. Operated by a single combatant, the Stinger is a weapon that fires up to 100 independently maneuvering charged projectiles. Upon impact with enemy troops, a single projectile from the Stinger will release a high voltage charge, temporarily suspending the nervous system function in all but a very few galactic creatures whom but one are non-sentient (the Wookie). The projectile’s charge will also short-circuit any non-shielded electronic systems it comes in contact with, including personal powered armor kits. If fired at a single vehicle, the Stinger has the power to render anything up to and including a small starfighter non-operational for a short period of time (typically 2-3 minutes).
After firing, the Stinger takes up to a minute to reload, thus rendering the operator vulnerable to attack during that time.

Haywire Blade
Bladed Weapon
Antei Armaments
Epic

Developed for certain soldiers of the collective this blade links up to the Augments of the solider wielding it. When this weapon strikes an opposing machine it has a chance to infest it with a virus that takes over and rewrites the programming of the machine turning it to the side of the collective in the process. The blade has been refined and strengthened enough to pierce metallic bodies and flesh allowing it to deliver it's payload to machines and augmented organics alike.

Item Name: XR-37 Immobilizer Rifle
Item Category: Blaster
Proposed Store: Antei Armaments
Proposed Rarity: Epic
Item Description: The XR-37 is a light blaster rifle, specially designed for the non-lethal takedown of targets. As opposed to a typical blaster with a stun setting, this device uses an electrical charge to disable limbs and extremities. Accurate at medium-range, this weapon is primarily used for the capture of prisoners. A dish-like protrusion mounted over the barrel of this blaster sets this technology apart from more common blasters used by galactic militaries. A target will be paralyzed temporarily, while retaining consciousness.

MSE-6 spy Droid

Utilis Innovations
rare
The MSE-6 spy Droid was once a normal model of the MSE-6 Repair Droid. The Severian Principate, after the collapse of the empire, went and retrofitted what they had left to make it do other jobs. One of the items was the MSE-6 Repair Droid with most of the interior losing most of its origin components and swapped out for an Audio Recording Rod linked with a Holocam with memory to cover 8 hours of replay. The MSE-6 spy Droid is programmed to act like any other MSE-6 Repair Droid but every 8 hours to return and impute the recording into a computer so that The Severian Principate may have hidden ears and eyes.

High Frequency Blades
Bladed Weapon
Very Rare
The weapon is a category of any vibroblade that is utilized with a vibro cell and electrified. The frequency of the blade allows it to vibrate and reduce molecular friction, causing rapid kinetic reactions, often superheating the objects it cuts, however, the “bursts” of vibration are short, each lasting less than a second. This time is only long enough for a single sword stroke, meaning that if one attempted to use the blade as a lightsaber, it could become stuck inside of objects or even break as the blade itself is not designed for the heat it imposes unto other objects. The power cells can only withstand 10 minutes of vibration before needing a day to recharge and needs between 2-5 minutes to cool the cells between bursts of blade strokes. Average use on a blattlefield averaging about an hour. The blade itself is fragile, and cannot withstand direct blows from heavy, blunt weapons or objects. Can be blocked by another HF blade or by a vibrosword, however heat will be imparted on the vibroblade in question. The electrical aspect of the blade does not shock another opponent, but I’d shocked with force lighting or another source out outside lighting can cause it to be disabled or even destroyed outright. Does not compare to a real lightsaber. You will lose. Thanks for reading my entry, hope you guys and gals like it.

Massive Kyber Crystal
Accessory
Ornamental Oddments
Legendary
This large Kyber Crystal is roughly the size of an average sentient's head. It is much too large to be used in a lightsaber, but a large number of them could be used to power a massive war machine. Other than that, it is a very expensive display piece or paperweight. It could be used as a meditation focus.

Item Name (1 point) Kyber Phoenix
Item Category (1 point) [Armor, pistol, starship, etc.] Pet/exotic
Proposed Store (1 point) Iron Menagerie
Proposed Rarity (1 point) Epic
Item Description (6 points) The Kyber Phoenix is a magnificent creature comprised of both Kyber energy and fire. Long have they endured the mines of the Thillion Moon and were discovered after miners dug too deep into their nest. These winged creatures harvest and collect kyber crystals like gold to feed from and to store their own energy. When threatened, kyber phoenixes can utilize the Force and their fire to attack prey or predator. They are also known to feast on small rodents or insects within the mines. When bonded through the Force, a kyber phoenix will sacrifice its life source for its master. When they are close to the end of their days, they dissapate in a puff of fire and a multi-faceted egg appears in their ashes. Their feather colors and flame colors can change depending on their master's tune with the Force, or lack thereof.
