[SIZE=9pt]SPECIAL FEATURES[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Strengths[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]:[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Compact and discreet while possessing even more functionality than a standard full-sized protocol droid. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Immobile.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]As with most consumer grade electronics, it is fragile and is highly susceptible to being temporarily disabled by EMPs and ions. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The Babel is a miniature protocol droid designed to be worn on the ear, [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]specially created with the blind and visually impaired in mind. The droid was personally designed by[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] Jyoti Nooran after interacting blind members of the Silver Order who refused ocular implants or surgery to correct their vision. She then created the Babel as a non-invasive alternative to help improve their situational awareness.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Powered by a [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]memristor-based neural network, the Babel is capable of carrying out traditional protocol tasks like real-time translation and ensuring the proper observance of etiquette and comes among the many races of the galaxy. Additionally, Babel units can interpret body languages, expressions (including microexpressions[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]), and even pheromones/body odor. For this reason, the Babel is also useful for diplomats and business types for reading people. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]In everyday life, the Babel can observe most forms of visual media like books, video, [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]holonet pages, etc. As it can interpret such media for its user in real time, specially prepared media (e.g. Braille, captions[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]) is unnecessary. With both its photoreceptors and ocular sensors, it can identify objects with great detail like articles of clothing or ingredients. [/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]All this information is directly transmitted to the user via a bone conduction by oscillators, meaning that only the user can hear it. Because of the method of transmission, the Babel is useful as a hearing aid for the hearing impaired. However, it does possess [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]an omnidirectional[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] speaker for translating out loud to others. The voices the Babel unit can be changed with custom voice packs with either feminine or masculine programming.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]While possessing its own sensor array, hair and other [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]appendages[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt] can obscure the photoreceptors, so each Babel kit comes with an optional pair of contact cameras.[/SIZE]
