Kason
Verpine CASTer
|
Background and Character Stats
Story Factors:
Special Abilities:
Body Armor: The Verpine's natural chitinous plate armor gives them a +1D bonus against
physical attacks.
Organic Telecommunication: Because Verpine can send and receive radio waves through
their antenna, they have the ability to communicate with other members of their species
and with specially-tuned comlinks. The range is very limited when they are activating
individually (1 km) but greatly increases when in the hive (covers the entire Roche
asteroid field)
Technical Bonus: All Verpine receive a +2D bonus when using their Technical skills.
CASTer Information:
CASTers are Droid-control specialists. They are much in demand as operators of
installation security systems, because one talented CASTer can take the place of
several live security guards.
New TECH Skill: CAST Ops
This skill represents the training that a CASTer receives to allow him to "multi-task"
his attention span. Each CASTer has a Drone Control Rating (DCR) equal to the whole dice
in this skill. For example, a CASTer with a skill total of 4D+2 in CAST use would have
a DCR of 4. Skills used in telepresence through a CAST cannot be used at a level greater
than the CAST ops skill.
Cybernetic Artificial Sensory Transceiver (CAST)
The CAST (Cybernetic Artificial Sensory Transceiver) device allows its user to
simultaneously supervise, control and coordinate a large number droids in a much
more efficient manner than by simple voice communication.
A CAST consists of a headset, a pair of gloves, and the main transmitter unit the
attachments plug into. The headset includes a visor display, speaker and audio pickup,
and is the main output device for the user. The gloves allow fine input, as well as
permitting a much greater degree of detail in transmitted instructions. The CAST
operates by creating a high-bandwidth data link between a droid and the CAST unit.
This connection receives sensory data from the droid, and transmits data and control
instructions back to the droid.
A CASTer can monitor (minimal interaction, mainly just observing, or giving orders)
double his DCR in droids. The droids would be running off of their own programming
at this control level.
The CASTer can exercise control (manual control of major functions only, similar
to a good modem RC car) over any number of droids equal to his DCR.
Actual "telepresence", manual control of all droid functions, can be maintained
over only half the DCR in droids.
If the CASTer is working with half or less of the capability for a given control level,
he maintains awareness of his body and surroundings, and can act normally. At 2/3 of
capability, the CASTer can move at up to their basic move, but cannot perform any
other actions that require a skill or attribute roll. The person also has only limited
sensation of their body. At full capacity, the CASTer is completely immersed; they
have no awareness of their body, and can do nothing but operate the CAST.

Kason's Droids Droid #1 Snoopy  Old Trade Federation Loader Droid Dexterity 2D: dodge 3D+2 Perception 1D: search 4D+2 Strength 6D: brawling combat 7D, lifting 12D Knowledge 1D: cooking 4D Mechanical 1D: sensors: tracking 3D+2 Technical 1D: Equipped with: One arm is fitted with all cooking tools and has Updated Sensors Humanoid Body (two arms, two legs, head) Two visual and two auditory sensors - human range Rudimentary Vocabulator Speech System and Comlink set to talk with Kason within 1 km of his location. W-39z3a Processor (upgraded from W-35) Move: 9 Size: 2.2 meters tall Cost: 900 (used) Description: built by the Trade Federation, the Loader Droid was used for loading cargo aboard its freighters. Due to the number of these droids built and the fact that they aren't combat droids, a lot of them have survived the fall of the Trade Federation and have since appeared on the open market. Since they were designed to operate aboard freighters away from droid control ships, they have their own droid brains, which, although simplistic, have developed individual personalities over the years. While they are not the best of conversationalists many of their owners have grown quite attached to them.
