Sith Technology

Nowhere near as impressive as their military cousins (a market currently dominated by Galalloy, and during the Empire by Arakyd Design Systems) the Sith "Dark Eye" is nevertheless a fantastic example of the spying applications of probe droids...although small, unarmed, and armorless, the Dark Eye is perfect for gathering intelligence; it slips past enemy defenses instead of going through any of them, amking it, in many ways, more dangerous than the larger military models designed to attack outlying sensor emplacements and gather data until destroyed. Dark Eyes are deployed in small groups to cover more ground than a single unit, and with an impressive speed and range in each tiny unit, they cover a lot of ground in a hurry. The Dark Eye probe droids can be controlled via a remote computer, giving the owner the ability to change the search pattern as circumstances see fit, or to aid the droids in remaining undiscovered. Although this shortens the droids' range, it makes their transmitters smaller, reducing the signature of the signal they generate considerably, which aids even further in the droids' ability to escape detection by security forces.

Darth Maul is not the first Sith Lord to have used a double-bladed lightsaber...in fact, the fallen Jedi Exar Kun used one four milennia ago after his descent into Sith darkness. Since then, more than one Sith Lord has been seen wielding one of these nightmares. As lethal to the user as it is to an opponent, only a warrior who has completely given himself over to the rages of battle can control a double-bladed lightsaber without injuring or killing himself; hence, the weapon is a perfect perversion of the Jedi weapon of defense. The double-bladed lightsaber is a weapon for killing and killing only, and can only be used by one who has given himself fully to the killing impulses of the Dark Side. The Difficulty for using a Sith double-bladed lightsaber is a whopping 25, but it has a benefit to make up for that high number: a warrior using a double-bladed lightsaber gets an additional defensive action each round that he suffers no multiple-action penalty for. In other words, the Sith Lord can attack and parry with no penalty to either action. A double-bladed lightsaber can be used single-bladed at the normal Difficulty of 20, without the benefit granted by using both blades. Sith lightsabers resonate on a frequency that only a few Jedi lightsabers do (it is unknown why this is so), and as such have a default damage rating of 6D.

Based on an ancient design, the Sith Speeder Bike is a far cry different from the familiar contemporary models. Instead of using outreached steering vanes for tight control, the Sith version uses opposed repulsors to give the bike insanely tight turning abilities. Due to its relatively small size, the bike's engine can drive it at impressive speeds, and the upright design of the driver's seat provides both comfort and excellent visibility. The bike is equipped with a small onboard computer connected to a transmitter/receiver that stays in constant contact with the "Dark Eye" probe droids and the Infiltrator.

Sith Comlinks

The Sith comlink operates on a similar principle as the Jedi version, using an elaborate encryption code in its signal that makes it impossible to eavesdrop upon, but it lacks the data-transmission capability of the Jedi comlink. It is much smaller, however, and worn like a bracelet. Standard comlink parameters apply.
