Quantum Entanglement Communication to the Unyielding Faith
Strong band: The metal band that holds the micro-commonents, is made of songsteel with a reinforced Duraplast inner coating. This protects it well from damage done by blasters, lightsabers, EMP/ION attacks and the like. Not perfect protection but good.
Limited use small portable shield: The Rings are able to produce a small portable shield, that is able to take a small number of hits, protecting from laser and plasma attacks.
Advanced Encrypted Comm Unit: The ring contains a small but powerful comm unit, able to send messages across a planet, and even into the surrounding star system at a much slower pace using radionics. It it has access to holonet relays, it's range is practically unlimited. It is also very hard to jam, and to trace. Each ring is also enabled with a quantum entanglement communication device, connected to the Unyielding Faith.
Force Alchemy: The synthetic micro-gems implanted in the band were created with a neutral form of force alchemy. This caused the two rings to be linked. It allows the wearer of the other to be able to find the location of the other and to send telepathic messages to them. It also has a small reserve of force power located in it. It can be used when the body is exhausted, or in places where the force is more limited. (Not in a ysalamir bubble)
Hard to detect: In shape and size, they look nothing more than rings, and due to materials used, the internal workings are hard to pick up on scanners.
Bonded: The force alchemy aspects of the rings work only for Allya and Jerek. This meant there were only two rings in existance.
Limited Shield Use: The shield is a small round disk, and can take only five hits before collapsing, and cannot be reactivated until the ring is recharged.
48 Hours before recharging: The Ring must be recharged, even if not used, every 48 hours. This can be from direct sunlight, or placed in the dedicated recharge units.
Ysalamir: The Force Alchemy aspects of the rings do not work when in a ysalamir bubble.
Distress Beacon: Once in distress mode, anyone in the area will know it's going off, and where the person is located
Limited Comm range: Unless in an area where there are comm relays, the effective range of the unit is planetary, however, it is able to reach out to a star system using its radionics function, however, since radionics travels only at the speed of light, it takes time for messages to go out and come in.
There are only two rings, no more, no less. The project to design these rings, began almost the moment Allya began to date Jerek. It was an earnest project, created from pure intentions, and an honest desire to protect the one she cared about. As such, no dark side abilities were utilized in the creation of these items. The base of the ring is a song steel band, the band is merely a cover, with a thin coating of reinforced duraplast inside to add further stability and to protect the sensitive equipment from EMP/ION attacks, or fluctuations. A thin layer of baffleweave was used between the songsteel and duraplast sheets to block scanners from picking it up. She took her research into miniaturizing devices and applied it well here, shrinking and combining several powerful comm devices, thanks to previous research by the CIS, and sizable help from Locke and Key Mechanics (Love you [member="John Locke"] ). Soon, a quantum QEC was built into each ring, and connected to the communications suite on the Unyielding Faith, allowing them to contact each ring, as well as their home as needed.
Designing the power cell that was small enough and yet powerful enough to run the comms and the micro-shield projector placed at the top of the ring, was a challenge. But once again, previous CIS technology came through, and following the example of the Light Shield Bracelet, Allya managed to make it work. She placed some small high efficiency solar paneling on the outside of the ring, for visual effect, as well as to help recharge the ring when out and about. Other than that, she added in a specially designed, but portable, charger for the rings. Due to their high draw, and the fact they were always on high alert to be used quickly, they had a fairly limited battery life, even when on standby mode.
Across the surface, to help with the aesthetic appeal, Allya studded it with tiny synthetic crystals to help give it vibrant colors. However, each of these crystals were created using force alchemy, and in a single batch. This caused the crystals to be reactive to one another. It gave the two wearers the capacity to find the other, and to speak using just their mind, regardless of the distance, similar to the effects of the quantum entanglement communications built into the tech portion of the ring. However, it was only short messages able to be sent through the rings. This made them cumbersome to try and communicate complex ideas.
The gems also acted as a small reservoir for the force. This allowed them to be used in times of emergency when the wearer had been pushed to their limits and needed a bit more to try and escape. Or in a place where the force was much more thin, and difficult to grasp. However, this was a very limited reservoir, designed to help aid with escape, or a last ditch attack, and wouldn't hold up long.
On the inside of Jerek's band was engraved: “"I will give you strength in darkness."
On the inside of Allya's band was engraved: “I will give you strength in the light.”
Above all the technology, above all the force alchemy, or the materials used, these rings were a promise. A promise to stay close to one another, to protect, to laugh, and smile with each other. A promise to love, despite their differences.
