EQUIPMENT: |
| Legion flight ring: Standard Legion Issue. Designed by the Invisible Kid noted the unique properties of Coluan waste materials which he fashioned into the first of the Legion Flight Rings. Each Ring, now standard Legion issue, comes equipped with a hyperspace communicator allowing Legionnaires to communicate across interstellar distances. Each Ring also contains a sub-space transmitter beacon, allowing for Legion tracking equipment to track the Ring anywhere in Known space.
The rings themselves allow for any Legionnaire to fly, based upon the natural or enhanced speed of the ring-wearer. The ring creates a personalized anti-gravity field around the wearer which allows self-propulsion through open space (hence, they are able to function in the vacuum of outer space). As a result, faster Legionnaires will be able to fly faster, and those who already are capable of natural flight will find an enhancement to their speed. Ultra-Boy, for example, could easily break Mach-1 by combining the Ring's field with his Ultra Speed ability, whereas someone without flight powers of their own (Saturn Girl, Invisible Kid, Spark), would be gifted with the ability to fly at a top speed of around Seventy-Five (75) Miles Per Hour. The Rings themselves seem to be self-sustaining, the half-life of the Dense Valorum having not yet been determined.
Trans-suit: Standard Legion Issue, the all-purpose Transsuit was developed in recent years by industrialist RJ Brande as a method of safe space movement and protection against environments that are hostile towards or unable to support sentient life. Each Transsuit if form-fitting and transparent, made of a stretchable molecular compound that can stretch, grow or change with the wearer's form). Each Transsuit can support its wearer up to around five-thousand degrees (such as, say, a sun), or cold temperatures that are almost absolute Zero (such as outer space). The Transsuit also contains an air filtration array in it's makeup, allowing the wearer to breathe in an airless environment (or a water-based environment) for up to twenty four hours before the air inside the Suit Envelope begins to befoul itself. The filtration system also prevents harmful or alien substances from affecting the wearer, by stopping such things before they enter . This allows Legionnaires to move through space without killing themselves, though it offers no additional protection for those Legionnaires who have no difficulty moving and breathing in space.
Omnicom: Standard Legion Issue. The Omnicom is a communication and information-display device originally developed and supplied by Brande Industries. All current Legionnaire Standard Issue Omnicoms are made by Brande Industries. With 5,000 viewing channels, a full audio-visual interface for recording, lockable file storage, environmental scans for safety and life signs, simple genetic scans, the sprocking Encyclopedia Galactica! Plus it's automation tools great for filing paperwork.
Telepathic Earplugs: Another Standard Legion Issue piece of equipment is the Telepathic Earplugs. The earplugs allow two-way communication between the Legionnaires and other races in the United Planets, translating the Legion's Interlac into the other's race's native tongue, and vice-versa, so long as both languages belong to the same language 'tree' that Interlac is based off of. Languages that do not have a basis or influence on Interlac (such as the Durlan native tongue) are not able to be translated by the telepathic earplugs. The range on such earplugs is, in all cases, the range of hearing on the wearer, so someone with enhanced hearing (such as M'Onel) will be able to communicate with non-Interlac speaking races at great distances.
Legion Membership: Being a member of the LSH definitely has its benefits. For the duration of a Legionnaires active membership, they are provided a handsome stipend equal to that of an average executive. In addition, they're provided with a private apartment, quarters at the Legion HQ, a food allowance and other reasonable expenses. Full medical care is provided, full access to training facilities and equipment, transportation, all of this compliments of their benefactor, industrialist R.J. Brande. |
