Alpha Dawn - Star Frontiersman

Sentry Helm
Bodyguards can’t always stand next to their charge and
flex their muscles. They can’t always wear long overcoats
and sporty sungoggles. In the very diverse Frontier,
sometimes bodyguards have to look intimidating and look
uniform... and that’s something the golden Senty Helm
does well.
Based on ancient Vrusk helms still on display in some
historical museums, the Sentry Helm can be purchased to
accommodate any of the core races, though the Dralasite
version is shorter and the Yazirian version has an
extended frontal piece designed to go over the muzzle. It
completely hides the face of the wearer. Add a long
civilian skeinsuit made to look like a cloak, and hand your
guards pole-arms or electric swords and put them outside
your door... these guards look scary.
Although plumes of various natures are based more on
medieval human history, the Sentry Helm can be ordered
with various plumages. Additionally, to accommodate
ancient Dralasite customs dating back thousands of years,
the Sentry Helm can be purchased with replica beast
horns from a catalog of many known animals. These
options won’t change the cost of the helmet, but adds to
any order’s delivery time. The Sentry Helm costs 800Cr
when purchased alone, but is typically sold in a bundle of
8 for 5,000Cr (quite a discount). It weighs 1kg.
Sentry Helm Integrated Functions:
• Integrated IR Goggles to see in the dark when an
infiltrator removes building power.
• Integrated Gas Mask to instantly immunize the guard
from doze grenades and other airborne toxins. Filters
don’t automatically regenerate, and have a life
expectancy of only 2 years.
• Integrated voice modulator, to deepen the guard’s
voice and add a slight echo – all to add an intimidating
sound and a uniformity to the voices of the guards.
The voice modulator adds +10% to intimidation rolls
for those first encountering it, but after the first time,
characters aren’t really affected by that anymore.
• Integrated communication device with 5km range that
works the same as a chronocom but without
timekeeping functionality. The voice modulator does
not work over the chronocom.

Yazirian Revolution Helmet
During the wars which secured the independence of
Yast from Hentz, both sides of the heated battles often
word this helmet. It has the appearance of an
unpowered helmet, but is quite powered. It will not fit
properly on a Human or Vrusk, though a Dralasite can
shape his head to fit nearly any helmet.
When ordering, a clan’s symbols and colors must be
specified. The helmet comes complete with these
symbols and colors laser-etched, so carbon scoring and
ablated chips won’t make these symbols of family pride
fade.
The helmet costs 600Cr and weighs 2kg because of the
added integrated hardware.
Yazirian Revolution
Helmet Integrated Equipment:
• Integrated Sungoggles
(automatically tints extremely rapidly when needed
to prevent the flash-blindness that Yazirians get
when hit with bright lights.)
• Integrated Locator System (allows field generals to
use specialized hand-held display systems to
coordinate battles on-screen. Although this handheld
unit is no longer sold, some can still be found in
the Frontier (and clever computer specialists can
create programs to use this special Locator System).
• Integrated Radiophone with 1,000km range, can be
set to one of 12 frequency channels.
