Ontuse Karaane

"That armour worn by the clone soldiers, 6 years ago. It was the best, most advanced energy-dampening technology the galaxy has ever seen- and its so easy to get your hands on one, you'd think they were as useless as the new armour the Empire's givin out."

- Ontuse Karaane

Ontuse Karaane is a human mercenary who is for the most part, working for the Galactic Empire. He wares a variant of the Phase II Clone Trooper armour used by the soldiers of the Galactic Republic before the rise of the Empire. He has made several modifications to his armour, including advanced HUD readings, flame emitters, threat assessments, multiple concelled weaponry, and even magnitized hard points. He has painted his armour black, and fitted his visor to shine blue- the colours of his home world.

Helmet
Ontuse Karaane's modified Phase II helmet recorded video and played it back on command, dispensed water, picked up on minute sounds and amplified them and could connect with the onboard computer of his ship.

Karaane could control weapons, sensors, and his jet pack with verbal commands. His helmet's HUD (heads-up-display) featured information on the surrounding environment as well as a 360-degree field of vision. In addition, an advanced radar allowed his HUD to provide information on nearby locations, and could be used to scan the HoloNet and connect with databases. The macrobinocular viewplate could be magnified to allow Karaane to see great distances, and was equipped with, among other things, an infrared scanner that could be magnified up to 50 times. The infrared scanner magnified light up to 100 times or displayed heat gradations.

The environmental filter system could filter out poisons and contaminants as well as provide Karaane with a two hour reserve air tank.

Armor
Karaane's Kaminoan Phase II armor was constructed from plastoid-alloy composite, all sealed to a black body glove. All together, the armor weighed just under forty kilograms. In spite of its bulkiness, the armor allowed for a reasonable range of motion. The armor's principle drawback, no doubt rooted in the Kaminoans' limited knowledge of Human anatomy, made the armor intensely uncomfortable to sit down in. Karaane couldn't manage to ignore this minor drawback and modified the armour so he could stay comfortable, even on long missions.

Jetpack
Karaane wore a customized A-11 Coruscant Police Repulsor Pack. The fuel tank held enough fuel for one minute of continuous operation (20 three-second blasts). Each three second blast moved Karaane up to 100 meters horizontally or 7 meters vertically. Karaane could reach a top speed of 145 kilometers per hour with a maximum range of two kilometers. Directional thrusters featured gyro-stabilizers to apply counterthrust for maneuvering and landing.

Weaponry
Karaane's main weapon was a DC-17/b blaster rifle, more powerful than a stormtrooper's E-11 blaster rifle|blaster. It could be outfitted with a scope for sniping, although Karaane also had a DC-16 sniper rifle. This was soon replaced with a more modern and advanced, Imperial E-24/i sniper rifle.

Ontuse Karaane used two different sidearms during his time as a mercenary. The first was a standard blaster pistol similar to those used by Coruscant Security Force. The other sidearm was a concussion disk launcher that included a second handle and storage compartment in the top for concealed weopons, such as micro-bombs.
