SPECIAL COMPONENTS:
SPECIAL FEATURES:
- A potent anti-slicing package helped to defeat counter-slicing efforts, offering an incredible level of security against counter-slicers.
- A merciless A.I., designed to unleash a relentless and devious compound attack to savage enemy systems, pillage their databases, and rampage through their files with dazzling efficiency.
- A powerful collection of slicing software and viral programming, capable of wreaking havoc on targeted systems, with effects ranging from taking remote control, monitoring, data search, and all-out chaos and destruction on enemy files, systems, and sub-routines.
- A slicing unit with the ability to penetrate a wide array of security systems, network protections, pyrowalls, etc., defeating most security systems with enough time.
- Ruthless, Efficient, and Most of All, Effective: Able to combine state-of-the-art programming and slicing power with cutting-edge tools, all backed by an A.I. that some might describe as the digital equivalent of a Vornskr the Serpentine is capable of launching multiple simultaneous attacks, either directly or remotely, to penetrate, plunder, and plague enemy systems and databases.
- Portable and Tough: Sized to be carried or else integrated into other systems, such as powered armors, cybernetics, and even droids, the Serpentine is incredibly tough to defeat. A potent counter-slicing suite, durable and stealthy materials, and rock-solid software combine to create a system which resists most kinds of damage and tampering.
- Achilles Heel: Tough as it is, it can still only resist one, maybe two direct hits from a lightsaber, and a robust hit from a large weapon, extreme kinetic damage, all of these risk rendering the system inoperative. Furthermore, from attacks using sonic weapons and Force abilities, there is no real resistance to speak of. So while it can take a lot of punishment, it can still be killed.
- No Plan Survives First Contact: Attacks made against systems and databases using the Serpentine can be powerful, combining multiple vectors, strategies, and complex tandem actions, however early detection – while designed against – can still happen with especially very powerful dedicated security, and once detected, there always remains the risk of those attacks being defeated. So while victory is likely, it isn’t guaranteed.
Combining some of the galaxy’s most bleeding-edge slicing technologies into a single instrument, capable of being carried or worn, used in power armor, cybernetics, and yes, even in droids, the Serpentine represents one of the most effective and versatile slicing systems around. Able to function remotely or through direct interface, using a potent suite of slicing and counter-slicing programs and viruses, it can terrorize systems, taking them over or sending them into cascading failure, chaos, and even bringing them to destruction. Able to bypass and defeat most known security systems with ample enough time and a strong connection, they can also penetrate system files and databases, plundering them for information or creating remote-monitoring through encrypted hyperwave communications. And, while still vulnerable to being detected and defeated – as nothing is entirely guaranteed – and still powerless against sonic weapons and Force-based attacks, this resilient little device can be a game changer for those lucky enough to get their hands on one. The Serpentine can cause chaos in fleet-wide navigations and hyperspace travel, shut down systems throughout a ship or facility, or break into a database, retrieving vital intelligence and departing without anyone the wiser…or, if you’re feeling malicious enough, you can turn a mega-corporation or library’s vast database of research and knowledge into nothing, deleting files, infecting entire networks, and much, much worse. It can even be used to gain remote control over vehicles and droids, disabling security and safety protocols, or stealing identification information for later forgeries and use. The Serpentine truly the snake in the garden, ruiner of paradise for unsuspecting targets.
