Jump-Kit

**Manufacturer:** Long Forgotten

**Description:** This tool was made for the ship salvaging industry; however, it has been adopted by various other industries. Though it is just as deadly to its user as it can be unwieldy to those not properly trained in its use.

**Notice:** For the sake of RP it will be given three “levels” which denote its capabilities.

**Level 1:** Simple fall protection from heights not exceeding 5 stories; injury common but death avoided.

**Level 2:** Grants an extra vertical thrust along with greater fall protection from heights not exceeding 11 stories high; the 5 stories height limit before can be considered “safe,” but if a user falls from a height of above 5 stories, they can expect some sort of injury from it.

**Level 3:** A combat-adjusted jump kit with modifications to allow for wall-running with all the other previous benefits. The adjustment to allow for wall-running has led to an unintended side-effect of allowing for punches and kicks to be greatly accelerated; though useful in combat; it can also cause injury to the user if they strain themself or their equipment too much.

Personal Particle Shield Unit

**Manufacturer:** IMC

**Description:** Commonly seen on “Shield Captains” in Titanfall 2, personal shield emitters are expensive to those outside the IMC’s ranks. Though it can be easily adapted onto a users kit if obtained, giving the user a frontal facing particle shield that allows them to act with impunity in combat; for a limited amount of time before it is “destroyed” for a period of time as the emitter reconstitutes the shielding.

Circian Simulacrum Body

**Manufacturer:** ARES Division

**Description:** A part of Experiment 564 “Public Relations” the ARES Division native to Circes made a public announcement that they would be letting volunteers take part in the “New Body, New Life Initiative”. Though the experiments apart of this facade are unknown they were cruel and horrific to those who “volunteered” however, they’d be escorted out of the facility by armed guards in a “procession” type of convoy before being dropped off in whatever village or city they volunteered from. A basic mindwipe of the time during the experiments took place, however, it was replaced with fake memories of basic screening and physical tests of varying degrees of difficulty before being given compensation of a few hundred credits and being transferred into their new metal body. A fragile one, not too similar to a human body; not that they knew that happened. The ego retention module of a simulacrum prevents meta-cognisance of their true state of being. However, as time progressed symptoms like paranoia and schizophrenia would grip many of these New Body members. Shootouts with ARES SEC-FOR who were sent to apprehend the simulacrae was common leading to ARES public image being worsened. Those who remain somewhat stable even after realizing what they actually are walk looking over their shoulders, afraid of that stylistic A. Though that is not the end of the story, though the transferral room remains in the facility; for those in higher status across Circes, the option for commercial grade transferral exists via an ARES shell company that does simulacrae transferral for a high price.   YOU DIE! THERE IS NO COMING BACK!

Heads Up Display (HUD)

**Manufacturer:** Long Forgotten

**Description:** The heads up display is a common item for pilots of Titan Exosuits and of aircraft out in the Frontier. However, IMC Marines have closed system helmets that give a basic read-out of friendly IFF tags and if the friendly is incapacitated. Ithacan troopers also share a much more archaic HUD that is used in conjunction with a “blast shield” it can list friendly IFF tags and their status but it is known to be battery operated similarly to a set of Night Observation Devices. Those on the blackmarket are of the Ithacan kind, however are clunkier and much like a 21st century Virtual Reality Headset and or the 21st Century prototype called IVAS. They can allow for basic data information and combined comms units, however they cause severe strain on the user physically and mentally.

**Notice:** For the sake of simplicity the selection will be highlighted in colors to denote what is open to everyone and what is not.

**“Black Market Grade” Augmented Reality Device:** It just allows you to sync to your firearms onboard ammo-counter, that’s about it. You really don’t need this kind of HUD; you’ll just damage your spine.

**“Infantry Grade” Heads Up Display:** Simple IFF Tag readout for friendlies; may list oxygen levels and a user's pulse. All previously mentioned benefits are to be expected.

**“Pilot Grade” Heads Up Display:** Most similar to the Titanfall HUD, though it lacks a minimap, instead having a simple nav-map allowing for waypoints. All previously mentioned benefits are to be expected.

“Threat” Sights

**Manufacturer:** ARES Division

**Description:** A mixture of thermal and IFF Detector that highlights “threats” in red. Rare considering the optic is mounted on marksman weapons predominantly, but EO-Tech casing similar sights pop up sometimes to allow for more close quartered fighting.

Accentuated Energy Rounds (AER)

**Manufacturer:** Burrel Defense

**Description:**  Accentuated Energy Rounds are used in various weapon systems made by Burrel Defense; their tell-tale sign of being used is the blueish tracer that follows the round as it goes through the air, it is assumed to be burning off energy from a weapon’s unique internals. The X-55 Devotion has a unique “spin-up” feature that is caused by this accumulating leftover energy increasing its rate of fire to devastating speeds. These rounds are hard to come into the hands of a normal person. If one manages to get their hands on this ammunition to keep an AER weapon supplied without being tied to a militant faction's logistical train, it is a true showing of their accomplishments.

Titan Exosuit

**Manufacturer:** Hammond Corporation

**Description:** Created before the “Titan Wars” and subsequent “Frontier War”; they were used to conquer the core system and bring it under the dominion of the Hammond Empire and by proxy, the IMC. The Titan Exosuit, depending on the chassis, can be anywhere from 21 feet to 29 feet tall. They are covered with various forms of depleted material armor and have shielding units built into their cores. These Titans are rare and usually used by militant factions like the IMC or Frontier Militia; however, mercenary groups have been seen to also own titans, however, the cost is unknown.

Fishing Vessels “Skiff”

**Manufacturer:** Circian Population

**Description:** There is no exact model for a “Skiff”; they can be made from wood and metal; they are common between pirate groups, fishing enterprises, and local villages. They may be confiscated by IMC Coastal Guard Forces on suspected piratical activity; however, bribes make that an easy sidestep.

Civilian Vehicles

**Manufacturer:** Unknown except for the Gridiron Car from Angel City.

**Description:** A simple car for living a simple life.

Sampson JLTV

**Manufacturer:** IMC

**Description:** A workhorse for IMC ground forces, and a necessary tool for the Frontier Militia. The Sampson JLTV finds itself modified a lot. It can have machine guns mounted to it, become an ambulance, a somewhat up armored transport or, a simple work truck. It does it all.

Gremlin LRV

**Manufacturer:** IMC

**Description:** Based on the 21st Century HMMWV, the Gremlin Light Reconnaissance Vehicle is a vehicle for off-road exploration by IMC forces who need to travel through difficult terrain in a somewhat protected manner and with an extra supporting weapon on top though it will have to be operated manually.

Chevalier APC

**Manufacturer:** IMC

**Description:** The Chevalier is a rare sight in most cases, but for Circes, it has been pressed into a larger role as it is capable of moving around more than a tank, making its armored nature important, especially with it being capable of carrying 6 men or a remotely operated weapon system with the sacrifice of 4 men being carried inside.

Basilisk Patrol Boat

**Manufacturer:** IMC

**Description:** A simple assault-style speed boat that allows for IMC Coastal Guard Forces to apprehend and board a piratical craft. It can have mounted machine guns or be unarmored, depending on its mission.

Paladin MBT

**Manufacturer:** IMC

**Description:** The Paladin is the Main Battle Tank of the IMC’s Marine Corps, a resilient tank that can be devastating against titans. It boasts two guns, and a backup remotely operated machine gun. Though, on Circes they are limited to a show of force. Chasing Rebels and Pirates into jungles is a foolhardy endeavor and will only get them stuck in the mud.

Goblin Dropship

**Manufacturer:** IMC

**Description:** The IMC uses the Goblin Dropship, after replacing their older Crow Models for it. Its signature orange and white accents mark it as the IMC Proper, instead of Remnant Fleet. It features a chain gun on the nose operated by the co-pilot. They can be manned with door gunners and ramp gunners, used on SAR missions for the coastal forces or in rapid responses to developing militant situations.

Crow Dropship

**Manufacturer:** IMC

**Description:** Aging IMC stock, stolen by the Frontier Militia; they’ve been painted with green and orange to denote their allegiance to their allies. It is a much more bulky design with a roof-top ball gunner position along with the assault cannon mounted to the front.

Phantom VTOL

**Manufacturer:** IMC

**Description:** A credit drain, product of bureaucracy; it’s barely better than the Hornet that it was set to replace. Operating much more like a Helicopter in instances, it can be used to lift supplies around; making it useful enough to the IMC that it somehow replaced their Hornet stock.

Hornet Fighter Craft

**Manufacturer:** IMC

**Description:** A reliable aircraft, on-par with the IMC’s sleek Phantom VTOL fighter, it has been repainted in green and orange to denote it’s allegiance but dogfights on the frontier involve so many different battlefields, it’s sometimes a good thing to be using the enemies old stock against them.
