CWSB Equipment

*Homebrew Reference Book: Clone Wars Saga Edition Fan Sourcebook*

The galaxy has seen the development of a vast array of devices over the millennia. Countless wars have been waged on every scale and an immeasurable amount of lives have been lost. Over the years, new devices have been created to be more effective on the battlefield. Some focus on efficiency and precision, or provide aid to those on the battlefield. Other creations aim to be more destructive than anything the galaxy has ever seen. The Clone Wars were no exception.

Research and development teams worked tirelessly on both sides to create a greater cache of weaponry and ingenious equipment in order to win the war. The Confederacy of Independent Systems uses its resources to manufacture everything from blasters to biochemical weapons. The Galactic Republic works equally hard to outdo their adversaries. The two armies create weapons of unspeakable devastation and devices that would be used in a variety of fields for years to come.

## Melee Weapons

The Clone Wars, like any other large-scale conflict, saw a blend of new and old technologies used to achieve victory. Though often dated, even antiquated, various melee weapons continued to see use during the Clone Wars.

## Ranged Weapons

Ranged weapons have been commonplace in the galaxy for millennia, ever-present even on the most far-out backwater planets. Many new designs were introduced during the Clone Wars that produced carnage on the battlefield.

## Explosives

Generally more powerful than grenades, explosives were used frequently during the Clone Wars. Commando teams most commonly used explosive devices to destroy enemy structures or as siege weapons. Explosives cannot be used like grenades, but are commonly equipped with a timer allowing a delayed detonation of up to an hour on a standard timer, or longer with a specialized timer.

## Weapon Emplacements

Anti-personnel and anti-vehicle emplacements saw increased exposure during the Clone Wars. Primarily used to defend fortified positions, weapon emplacements were heavily used by both The Confederacy of Independent Systems and The Galactic Republic.

## Armor

During the Clone Wars, protective armor saw increased usage. This was mostly attributed to the clones of the Grand Army of the Republic. Created from the genetic code of a Mandalorian, the Republic soldiers held the same proclivity for armor as their "Father," Jango Fett. With assistance from Fett and the armorsmiths of Kamino, the clones made impressive use of body armor. Unfortunately for the clones, they were not the only ones to exploit the use of personal armor.

Two beings were most directly responsible for creating the majority of these aberrations- Jenna Zan Arbor and Ovolot Qail Uthan. Like most other Poisons and Diseases, the following list can be used as a portable weapon in a Virus Bomb.
