Personal Artifacts and Relics

Weapons

Plasma Pistol

Drake uses a matched pair of the some of the finest Plasma Pistols ever crafted in the Imperium. Both hail from Ryza, the same as Drake himself, but it is there the similarity ends. One is less then two centuries old, manufactured as part of a project by Ryza's current Fabricator General while he was applying for Archmagos. The other is ancient, a finally crafted weapon that has seen millennium of operation, most recently as a model for the improvement of Lathe's own plasma production.

Rate	Range	Damage	Pen	Clip	Reload	Special
S/2/-	30m	2d10+6	Pen 6	10	3 Full	Overheat, Reliable, Maximal Mode*

Maximal Mode: Plasma Weapons may add +1d10 damage and +2 penetration, but gain the Recharge trait.

Captain's Saber

Though not often used, Drake also carries a saber, a common practice among voidship captains. His particular sword sports an ornately wrought, gem studded, basket hilt and a thin, single-edged adimanitum blade.

Damage	Pen	Special
1d10+1 R	2	Balanced (+15), +10 Attack

Protective

Exploration Armor

This exceptional example of carapace armor, similar to the style used by imperial commissar lords and other imperial officers. It manages to offer the some of the best defense available in unpowered armor while maintaining an official, commanding appearance.

Armor	All 7

Cranial Armor

Lord Drake's cranial armor is a resuslt of a failed assasination attempt during his preteen years. A sniper's bullet fractured his skull, and in response the Techpriests of Ryza replaced it with this thin adimanitum version.

Armor	Head +1

Conversion Field

Drake's conversion field generator is a large, ornate band designed to be worn around the upper arm, a position that also allows it to be desplayed, if desired, or easily concealed by his clothing when more subtalty is reqired.
