CC-SE9 Mimic-Decoy Pod
SPECIAL FEATURES
STRENGTHS
- Complete Fakeout: The SE9 not only baffles most forms of scanning, including energy readings, transponder, and even life signs, but it comes with a holographic image projector designed to fool visual systems.
- Follow The Rabbit: The SE9 can be launched from a special tube included with every purchase, and from there can be either remotely controlled from the host ship or via simplified pilot droid brain to perform basic maneuvers.
WEAKNESSES
- Insubstantial: The SE9 doesn't project a solid mass and can't fake damage, so anything that hits the holographic shell will phase right through it and reveal the pod underneath.
- Brief Distraction: The SE9 has no armor, shields, or weapons, and only enough power to run a short flight before its thrusters and holographic imager give out.
DESCRIPTION
The Captain's Choice CC-SE9 Mimic-Decoy pod is an updated version of the SE8 Decoy Buoy designed to provide a more comprehensive decoy against enemy attacks. The SE9 comes with the same range of false emitters as the SE8, including codes, energy signatures, mass readings, life signs, and even pre-programmed repeated broadcasts. The real advantages of the SE9 are its holographic mimic program (which can project false images around the pod) and its remote flight function (meaning once the pod has been launched it can be controlled either via remote or droid brain).
Even with these features, the SE9 is just a simple decoy pod, with no defenses or countermeasures to stop it from being blown to smithereens. The hologram shell in particular can't mimic damage or impacts, meaning any disruption to the exterior image will expose the pod. These advanced features also run on a very limited internal power source which can only run for a short time before the pod loses all movement and holographic capacity.
And again, this all does nothing to make the host ship harder to trace, it simply creates something else for pursuers to follow. Still, if you're looking for something that will truly throw someone off your trail, the CC-SE9 Mimic-Decoy Pod is the best choice available, courtesy of Captain's Choice!
