IMG SOURCE: [X]
PERMISSIONS: HPI, FAE
STANDARD FEATURES
- Ersteel SLCA Skeletal Core
- Tungstoïd steel reinforced Seigurium X internals
- Alloyplast exterior moldings with reinforced Quinta-polycarbonite lamellar compound coating
- Gyroscopic stabilizer
- Miniature Proton Mk I auxiliary droid brain
- Codoan copper wiring
- Magnetomic Gription boot build into the 'foot' part of the prosthetic leg, allowing for the user to maintain balance and control even on smooth surfaces as long as they are metal in nature.
- Biomolecules coating Attached with strong industrial adhesives underneath the reinforced quinta-polycarbonite layer, the biomolecules allow for the leg to change its color for a fixed period of time, allowing a bit of creative leeway and expression for those wearing this prosthetic.
- Thermal gel dispenser should the internals overheat due to extreme stress or because of environmental issues, the thermal gel dispenser activates to safeguard the prosthetic's functionality and structural integrity by immediately cooling down and insulating the prosthetic leg.
- FAE/I-02 Hypernervous Reaction System Allowing for perfect synchronization between the prosthetic leg and the wearer's nervous and muscle impulses through the connected tissue.
- FAE/S-07 Symbiotic Ghost Link Allows the wearer's mental commands to steer and guide their leg, allowing for near unconscious control, making the prosthetic feel more natural to the wearer.
- Very wide range of resistances: As this prosthetic leg had been designed and built for a man who has a military background and occupation, it was paramount for the prosthetic to be capable of weathering a wide range of potentially damaging substances and weaponry, allowing for the prosthetic to be suited both in their every day life, as well as the heat of combat.
- Relatively lightweight: Though it could have been of a more lightweight composition had the designers opted for a metal with lower weight as the Seigurium X internals, the choice came down to the robust and reliable nature of seigurium X, while the ersteel SLCA core did lower the weight considerably, making it almost the same in overall weight to the wearer's usual, original leg.
- Perfectly synchronized: By utilizing several systems to connect not only the directly interlaced tissue of the muscles and nerves, but also allowing for mental control and optics, the prosthetic is perhectly synchronized and would feel no different than any ordinary leg, allowing for smooth controls and movement.
- Must be regularly maintained: While it is perfect for every day life and combat situations, dirt, grim, grease and other filth can corrode and jam the internals of the prosthetic, meaning that it can malfunction and as such cause great discomfort and unease to the wearer.
- Sonic resistance: With little resistance to sonic weaponry, caution is adviced as it could disrupt the somewhat delicate balance of the gyroscopic stabilizer.
Having lost his lower leg in combat, Karl Von Strauss had to find a perfect replacement for the leg he had lost. Though his salary would have afforded him products from well-known cybernetic and prosthetic designers in the galaxy, his loyalty to the N&Z Umbrella Corporation and his stubborn nature to only trust the products he himself had supervised completely, made it clear that the decision was made to allow the brilliant engineers from the N&Z EnSol division to sort out the desired specifications and to come up with a design befitting an imperial moff.
While the initial designs showed elegant and intricate craftwork, those first designs lacked the desired internal strength and finesse of movement expected from a prosthetic leg for a man of the Director's stature and status. A secondary design was deemed too crude, but had promise with its high level of resistances and much more reliable internals and structural integrity. It did not take long for the final preproduction design to fit the mold perfectly as a balance between useable, functional and elegant in a somewhat rugged, military way.
Upon the completion of the project, the choice was made to utilize a proton mk I droid brain in combination with the various loadouts from the First Astral Engineering company in order to enhance the experience of wearing the prosthetic leg and to improve the ease of wearing to a subconscious level, making movements fluid, automatic and without the usual slowneww some prosthetic legs might entail. As a truly bionic and cybernetic attachment, the PEG manages to encapsulate both the robustness of the usual N&Z products and the functionality the Moff expected.
