Mandalorian Armor | Mchno-chair | Turret Gun | Darth Vader Bio-mechanical Suit | Vibro-Ax Fett wears the armor of the Mandalorians, a group of fearsome warriors dating back to ancient times who were defeated by the Jedi Knights. His modified armor includes a helmet with a macrobinocular viewplate, motion and sound sensors, infrared capabilities, an internal comlink with his ship (the Slave I), and a broad-band antenna for intercepting and decoding transmissions; wrist gauntlets that house lasers, a miniature flame projector, and a fibercord whip/grappling device; a back-pack jet pack with a turbo-projected magnetic grappling hook with a 20-meter lanyard; knee-pad rocket dart launchers, spiked boots, a concussion grenade launcher and a BlasTech EE-3 rifle. Braided Wookiee scalps hang over his right shoulder. Walking mechno-chairs are neither comfortable nor practical. However, they are hugely expensive and express the high status of their user. They also serve as platforms for hologram transmissions of high-ranking individuals. The DF.9 Anti-Infantry turret battery stands
ready to defend Rebel troops on Hoth from invading forces. This model is
designed to be effective against infantry and small vehicles such as speeder
bikes and skirmishing or scout craft. The battery is no match for the
full-strength Imperial battle armor cladding the AT-AT walkers, however, and
the Rebels knew that at best they would fight a delaying action from the snow
trenches. Darth Vader's Bio-Mechanical Suit Darth Vader's grim black attire is a
life-support system, his labored mechanical breathing the sound of a walking
iron lung. Critically injured in a lightsaber
battle with Obi-Wan Kenobi years ago, Vader became
"more machine than man," kept alive only by the devices built into
his suit. The fearsome visage of his breath mask reflects the dark identity
that he assumed after his fall from the light side of the force. Lando Calrissian went undercover as a guard in the palace of Jabba the Hutt, waiting in disguise for the right moment to rescue Han Solo. His weapon is a form of vibro-ax, a SoroSuub BD-1 Cutter. In such weapons an ultrasonic vibration generator makes the blade sing with a high-pitched whine, enabling it to lacerate with the merest touch.
