-''Vigilantia corporis — vigilance of the self.''
-Gear that defend, sustain, and empower the body and its immediate surroundings.
-Suits, armor, exoskeletons, propulsion systems, and tools of labor or repair.
-'''Associated with:''' [[Actions_(IB)#Prowess|Prowess]], endurance, adaptation, and craft.
-== Tools ==
-Devices for maintenance, repair, and brute-force problem solving — fixing what breaks, forcing what jams, and powering what fails.
-Each tool kit covers its field and the integrated parts it shares with others; choosing one that matches the core of a problem is usually enough.
-=== Hand Tool Kit ===
-;1 ☐ [[Technology_(IF)#Hand_Tool_Kit|Hand Tool Kit]]
-A compact multitool case for quick repairs and field maintenance. Includes microdrivers, sealant syringes, fusion tape, and diagnostic nanowires. Choose a specialization paying Load: '''Mechanical''', '''Electrical''', '''Structural''', '''Security''', or '''Life Support''' (chemical/biological/recycling).
-Designed for tight spaces and short-duration jobs. Suitable for [[Actions_(IB)#Rig|Rig]] tasks requiring precision but limited reach or power.
-Can diagnose but not manipulate large-scale damage.
-=== Pack Tool Kit ===
-;1 ☐☐ [[Technology_(IF)#Pack_Tool_Kit|Pack Tool Kit]]
-A suitcase-sized kit for full maintenance and repair work. Contains powered tools, replacement components, weld patchers, and diagnostic sensors for [[#Neme|Neme]] linking.
-Choose a specialization when paying the Load: '''Mechanical''', '''Electrical''', '''Security''', Structural''', or '''Life Support''' (chemical/biological/recycling).
-Includes fold-out waldos or a small manipulator harness for use in [[Actions_(IB)#Micro|Micro]] gravity.
-Enables complex [[Actions_(IB)#Rig|Rig]] tasks such as engine repair, hull patching, or system rebuilds without external support.
-=== Power Battery ===
-;2 ☐ [[Technology_(IF)#Power_Battery|Power Battery]]
-A high-capacity portable power cell with universal couplers. Used to jump-start disabled equipment or energize derelict systems for short periods.
-Commonly used during salvage, boarding, or emergency repair operations.
-Provides steady current for about one hour at field-tool levels or a few minutes for heavy systems.
-Risks surge or meltdown in unstable circuits; '''Active, Unreliable, Volatile''' when used on unknown hardware.
-=== Power Jack ===
-;1 ☐☐ [[Technology_(IF)#Power_Jack|Power Jack]]
-Hydraulic and electromagnetic jack for forcing open sealed hatches, jammed bulkheads, or collapsed panels.
-Combines telescoping mechanical arms with plasma-edge cutters for embedded fixtures.
-Can clear or open massive obstructions that could not be moved manually.
-'''Active, Unreliable'''.
-=== Breaching Kit ===
-;2 ☐ Breaching Kit
-A compact toolkit of charges and cutting gear for forced entry, salvage cutting, and controlled demolition. '''Regulated'''. Intended for trained riggers; possession without appropriate clearance or permit is a crime in most habitats and ports.
-=== Lockpicks ===
-;1 ■ Lockpicks
-A set of simple security tools that can open both electric and mechanical logs if properly used.
-A compact set of mechanical and electronic bypass tools for opening locks and simple access panels.
-'''Regulated''' but easy to conceal or explain away as something else.
-== Protection Devices ==
-Emergency systems that shield, patch, or stabilize the immediate environment.
-They are what you grab when the suit tears, the hull cracks, or something starts leaking that shouldn’t.
-Most are single-use and messy, but they keep you alive long enough for proper repairs.
-=== Aegis ===
-;4 ☐ [[Technology_(IF)#Aegis Fields|Aegis]]
-Personal Aegis Field generator provides limited radiation protection. '''Active'''.
-=== Seal-Mat ===
-;3 ☐ Seal-Mat (Emergency Hull Patch)
-A compact emergency patch stored as a thin folded roll. When deployed, it spreads over nearby surfaces, adhering and wrapping tightly around them. Once anchored, it swells into a dense, layered composite that absorbs liquid water or humidity in the air reinforce its own structure. The result is a tough, semi-rigid mat that seals punctures, gaps, or exposed machinery, providing both pressure containment and limited radiation damping. '''Consumable.'''
-=== Bubble Tent ===
-;1 ☐☐ [[Technology_(IF)#Bubble_Tent|Bubble Tent]]
-Inflatable shelter for up to four people. Deploys as a bubble in microgravity or a dome in gravity.
-Walls allow slow passage without decompression and fuse with other tents for shared space.
-'''Unreliable''': After each full rest, roll '''Quality''' to see if it remains viable.
-Additional air tanks add ☐ Load each.
-=== Glu-Vac ===
-;1 ☐☐ Glu-Vac (Stabilization Gel Dispenser)
-A portable mitigation unit used to reduce immediate hazards from chemical, biological, and thermal incidents. The device sprays a rapidly setting stabilant that cools exothermic reactions, immobilizes particulates, encapsulates liquids, and forms a temporary barrier that makes contaminated zones safer.
-The gel is a mitigation, not a neutralizer: it contains and stabilizes but does not chemically decompose most agents. Specialist cleanup is required to render a scene permanently safe.
-One canister covers approximately '''1,000 cubic meters'''; additional canisters add ☐ Load each.
-'''Unreliable''', possibly with '''Volatile''' Consequences.
-:''"In Human: This brushes bad stuff under a white carpet."''
-:— Ted Dendel, Rigger

-Armor, shields, and melee weapons for those who keep order or survive where it fails.
-=== Impact Suit ===
-;1 ☐ Impact Suit
-Protective wear used for labor, sports, and other moderately dangerous civilian activities.

-=== Riot Armor ===
-;1 ☐☐ [[Technology_(IF)#Riot_Armor|Riot Armor]]
-Heavy body armor that cannot be concealed. Protects against all damage, reducing Harm from weapons by one level, and is more reliable than an [[#Armored_Vest|Armored Vest]]. Includes a visored helm and breathing mask but is not a space suit — many wear a [[#Skinsuit|Skinsuit]] underneath.
-=== Riot Shield ===
-;1 ☐☐ [[Technology_(IF)#Riot_Shield|Riot Shield]]
-Handheld composite shield; can be made transparent, reflective, or provide one-way vision. Designed for crowd control, close-quarters blocking, and anti-insurgent defense.

The user orients the board toward the radiation source — typically the Sun — and shelters in its shadow. Can be fitted with [[# Microthrusters (Steam)| Microthrusters (Steam)]] at no additional Load, but these lack nimbleness and only work in open space.
-== Personal Protection ==
-Environmental hazards are routine in space, and a wide range of protection systems exist — most built around the [[#Skinsuit|Skinsuit]]. This item has attained legendary status among spacers. There is little reason to wear one aboard a large ship or habitat, yet it has become a cultural icon of the spacer lifestyle, worn on almost every occasion.
-In the inner system a [[#Skinsuit|Skinsuit]] is typically worn under clothing and may be nearly invisible except over private areas. In the outer system it is often worn bare, even at social events.

-=== Microthrusters (Steam) ===
-;1 ☐☐ [[Technology_(IF)#Microthrusters_(Steam)|Microthrusters (Steam)]]
-Water-fed resistojet pack for microgravity work. Endurance suitable for routine ten-minute hops; extended sorties require extra water cartridges or a suit reservoir tap. '''Unreliable:''' Roll Quality after a significant burn and every 10 minutes of use to determine fuel status.
