Their relocation brought them to a densely populated region in space, where there was already an ongoing war for dominance and control over the adjoining systems and their resources. The Arians had no sufficient technology to take them away from this dominion in space, for their arrival wasn’t brought by Space Flight capable ships. They came across this system purely by chance as they relied up their magic and the use of Pyramid Technology.
As the story goes, the first branch of the refugees settled in the Gazzar Nebula, as the other made it to Alexandrea, where the first capital was founded and a new galaxy seeded. The Jacobians continued to live in the nebula for seven generations as scavengers and pirates. Eventually the second wave of refugees passed through the nebula on their way to the next suitable planet, Alexandrea. The Jacobians, now maddened with suspicion and paranoia, attempted to trap the second wave in their nebula with a concealed fleet of Hyperspace Inhibitors that prevented them from leaving the nebula. So great was the Jacobian’s fear, that they fought to the very last. The second wave did eventually disable the inhibitors, but it was a bitter struggle against their brothers that brought them victory. With the spoils of war, the second wave inherited the Jacobian Technology and began to use it to enhance their own technology, which eventually brought them to their new home.

Arena Battle Armor Arena battle armor is a lighter set of armor than the cyborg armor, but has several abilities/concealed functions that the cyborg armor does not. There are concealed ports in the armor itself to allow attachment of items that need to connect direct to the Battle Angel, or to allow concealed items to be released without destroying the armor.
Weapons Cyber-Modules
Tactical Defence Cyber-Modules
Tactical Computer Subprocessor: The tactical computer subprocessor ties into the onboard tactical computer, giving it more memory and more processing capability. This effectively doubles the bonuses the cyborg gets from the tactical computer.
ECM Module: The ECM module is a short range jamming system, designed to interfere with missile tracking and weapons systems within 100 feet of the cyborg. The module takes 5 charges from the cyborg's internal power supply to activate. The ECM system is active for one melee round before needing to be reactivated. It has a 01-25% chance of causing each missile within range to self-destruct; 26-50% of causing the missile to randomly lock on a new target. 51-00% chance nothing happens. The jammer system affects all missiles within range; it also scrambles all radio communication within range. The jammer also has a 20% chance of temporarily affecting the Battle Angel's internal systems for 1d4 melees. If so, the cyborg is -3 to S/P/D for the duration.
Energy Absorber Module: This module allows the cyborg to tap into external power sources for a faster recharge of power cells. When linked into a high power source (reactor, high power line, etc) the cyborg can recharge powercells at 1 charge per cell per melee round.
Sensors and Communications Cyber-Modules
Micro-radar: Can identify and track 24 targets. Speed, direction, and location are indicated.
Communications System: This module includes a short-range radio with multi-channel capabilities.
Sonar system: Can track and identify 24 targets. Speed, direction, and location are indicated.
Motion detector: Registers vibrations in the air indicating movement.
Recon Module: This module is a multifunctional integrated system that includes:
"Tuned" module: The "Tuned" module gives the cyborg the following abilities:
Psionic Scrambler Module: The psionic scrambler module projects a specialized EM field which distorts psionic and telepathic probes. Psychic opponents find it difficult to read the thoughts and emotions of the cyborg when this module is active. Bonuses are +1 to save vs psionics, +2 vs possession, and +1 vs magic illusions and mind control. The psionic scrambler system links directly into the cyborgs internal power, making it a permanent module. However, it draws so much power, it reduces the recharge rate of the powercells by 25% when present.
Stealth System: This module alters any technological scanning signals to read that the cyborg is fully human. The stealth system can run on internal power for up to 36 hours. The cyborg can allocate power to this module to extend the maximum lifespan of the module to 72 hours; however, the cyborg cannot recharge any powercells during the entire 72 hours.
External Systems Cyber-Modules
Magnetic Adhesion Module: This module enables the cyborg to modulate their electrical blast system to produce an intense magnetic field around their hands and feet. This field allows the character to effectively walk up metallic walls without climbing gear (+30% skill role). If the cyborg is climbing items that are not primarily metallic (less than 80% metal), the character needs normal climbing gear, but is still at a +15% to their climbing skill.
Micro-gravity Maneuvering System: The micro-gravity maneuvering system is a small gravity manipulation system that is designed to allow free movement in zero-G environments. The system will give the cyborg normal movement in zero-G, with no modifiers in combat. The character can fly at 25 mph in 0 G to .1 G environments. The system retains some effectiveness in underwater environments, allowing the cyborg to move at 1/2 modifiers underwater. The cyborg can also move themselves with the maneuvering system at 5 mph underwater. On land, the only effect the system has is doubling of leaping distance when active.
Force Field Enhancers Cyber-Modules
Force Field OverBooster: The force field overbooster module has 10 "charges". Each charge will increase the onboard cyborg force field by 100%. Each charge is cumulative, for a maximum increase of field strength of 1000%. Each charge burns out part of the module's systems, so when the last charge is used, the module is fused junk. The force field overbooster system lasts for 10 melees if one charge is used. Each additional boost of the force field (additional charges) reduces the time the force field is active by one melee round, to a minimum of 2 melees at maximum power.
External System OverRider: The overrider system allows the cyborg to override external computer systems. The overrider system is a one-shot computer module that cracks the normal computer protection to allow the cyborg to temporarily assume control. The module transmits and receives data through the hand electrical projector system. The excessive power fuses the override module into scrap. The external computer must make a save vs. psionics (+ 1 for every 100 M.D.C of armor between the cyborg and the computer) or be taken over. The module can maintain control for a maximum of 4 melee rounds, but someone with computer hacking or head jacked into the same computer may be able to countermand the override module (opposing computer hacking skill roles). The override control system can shut down the onboard computer, shut down onboard sensory systems, feed in false data to the onboard computer, etc.
Systems Enhancers Cyber-Modules
Long Term Life Support Module: The long term life support module extends the duration of the life support system, literally to centuries! The long term support module projects a "stasis" field about the integral life support systems, including the organic tissue of the cyborg. This "stasis" field slows the passage of time for the life support system so that, baring destruction (the remains can be destroyed by physical means, however they will not suffer any effects from ageing), the cyborg can survive up to 450 years in this state. However, the character does suffer some side effects from the stasis. For each 30 years in the field, the character effectively loses 1 level as far as skill/knowledge based increases are concerned. This means the character loses all level increases to all non-physical (except where %'s are present in physical skills) skills. The character does NOT lose weapon proficiencies or physical skills. All skills will recede to a minimum of 1st level they do not disappear. HP gains and PPE gains are not affected. The character also loses memories during the stasis, so that after 200 years in stasis, the character has only a 1% chance of remembering flashes of old memories, never more. Once the character is re-activated, the cyborg is at whatever level they end up. If they have skills that were gained from higher levels, those skills do not advance until the cyborg catches back up to that level, then they advance as normal.
Oxygen Extension System: The oxygen extension system is effectively an advanced rebreather system. This system allows the cyborg to extend the normal oxygen stores in the bionic lung from 2 hours to 72 hours. The rebreather system filters are used up after 72 hours of use and can be replaced, extending the life of the module. If replacement filters are not available, the whole unit is usually pulled and replaced.
Secondary Nano-Repair System: The secondary nano-repair system is a slightly smaller version of the internal system. The secondary system can have a maximum of 3 "doses" of nanites, capable of repairing 3d6 M.D. to one section of the cyborg. The secondary system takes 24 hours to regenerate 1 dose of nanites. The secondary nano-repair system takes 5 minutes to repair a section of the cyborg; it does not improve over time.
Emergency Nano-Repair Module: This is a one-shot module that administers a massive dose of repair nanites to all systems. The cyborg can allocate the nanites to certain sections; making sure those areas are repaired first. The nanites can repair a maximum of 3d6x10 M.D., as allocated by the cyborg. The emergency nano-repair module releases a much more massive burst of repair nanites than normal, so the repairs are almost instantaneous. The emergency module takes 1 melee round to effect repairs.
Miscellaneous Cyber-Modules
The BattleStaffs are hand held defence tools made of M.D. materials and used by the Battle Angels for their additional modules placement capabilities built into them. The BattleStaff has a total of 8 lower power permanent modules, and 4 to 8 high power nested modules, which can be purchased and added by the Cyborg. BattleStaffs are useful tools because of their versatility and the customizing ability and durability in combat. But they are not the only defense of the Battle Angel Cyborg.
BattleStaff, Heavy Combat (WarStaff): The warstaff is a much heavier version of the battlestaff, used for major battles, or if the cyborg is going into very rough conditions.
BattleStaff, Light Combat: The light battlestaff is a smaller unit, designed mainly for exploration use.
ForceField OverBooster: The force field OverBooster module will increase the ForceShield Module by 200%. The duration of each charge is 5 minutes per PowerCell. However, the OverBooster itself only has 5 activations before burning out, rendering the module inert.
EM Pulse Sponge: In the event of a Directed Energy Weapon attack or EM Pulse levels against the Cyborg, the Module will act as an EMP Buffer to reduce Electronics failure in the event of an Electromagnetic and HMP surge. Adds a +4 to save vs. EMP weapons. The Module has 100 effective charges, meaning that for every EM Pulse leveled against the Cyborg, whether the roll is failed or saved, one charge will be consumed by the Module. Should the Module be reduced to Zero Charges, then it is rendered inert.
PowerCells: The BattleStaff can have additional PowerCells added to it in place of additional modules. 2 additional powercells can be added into each module slot.
Plasma Ejector Module: The plasma ejector module converts the BattleStaff's existing Ion Blast capability into a 6 meter wide Plasma Flame. The damage caused by a flame is 3D6x10 MD and is effective up to a maximum range of 150 meters. The duration of a sustained blast is 1 full melee, before emptying a PowerCell.
Power Regulator Subprocessor: The power regulator subprocessor allows the Cyborg to get more power from the BattleStaff’s internal PowerCells and recharge them faster within the staff. The power regulator doubles the recharge rate of PowerCells, and allows the cyborg to get 25% more power from each PowerCell. But this is only effective on the BattleStaff only and cannot be used for PowerCells attached to the Cyborg.
ForceShield Module: This module can generate two types of force fields. One is a Force Barrier of 10 square meter 2 meters in front of the cyborg, or it can generate a 5 cubic meter diameter sphere around the cyborg. The wall and sphere both have 200 M.D.C. The system can be activated a total of 3 times in a melee before the module permanently burns out. The duration of a ForceShield is 5 minutes per PowerCell.
Grapple Gun: The grapple gun module is a mico-grapple with 200 meters of ultra-thin line. Tensile strength 1000 lbs.
Teleportation Module: Is in fact two independent modules. The main part is a center mount unit on the battlestaff; the second part plugs into a special port in the palm of the cyborg. This allows the cyborg to teleport the battlestaff to their hand from up to 1 km away. The use of the teleportation function takes 1 full melee of concentration from the cyborg.
ECM Module: This is a much more powerful version of the ECM system than the one that mounts in the cyborg. The ECM module is an end mount module that plugs into the EM pulse system. The power from the EM pulse is shunted directly into the ECM system, giving it much greater range and power than the other system. The ECM system has a 35% chance of causing each missile within range to burn out, rendering them inert and a 65% chance of causing missiles to loose track of the initial target. The ECM system has a range of 500 meters. The ECM system also jams weapon systems in Military Vehicles, BITs and Power Armors. They are penalized with a –6 to strike with Targeting Systems. The ECM system also jams all radio communication within 1000 meters of the Cyborg. As this is not an internal module, the cyborg has 5% chance of being affected by the jamming system. The ECM system is active for 1 minute per PowerCell.
Collapsar Nanites: Collapsar Nanites are Cyborg Killers, used to attack and break down the materials of the cybernetic electronic-systems. In this sense, they are used in a delivery system, like a projectile or piercing weapon and used to attack the vital regulating systems of a Cyborg target.
Jacobian Weapons
Standard Knife: The standard battle knife is a heavy knife with a virtually monomolecular edge, made of M.D. materials (20 M.D.C.). It adds +2d6 S.D.C. to the normal hand-to-hand damage of someone with cybernetic strength.
Forcefield Disruptor Knife: The force field disrupter knife is a heavy knife with a virtually monomolecular edge, made of M.D. materials (20 M.D.C). It normally does 1d4 M.D. when used by someone with cybernetic strength. The main function of the knife is to punch a temporary hole into force fields. The knife runs a single E-clip, which is used to disrupt the force field. When the knife function is triggered, it creates a temporary 4x4 inch hole in the target field for 3 seconds. The opening in the field can be hit by a called shot, but at a -5 to strike. The E-clip is good for 4 charges.
Plasma Knife: The plasma knife is a heavy knife with a virtually monomolecular edge, made of M.D. materials (20 M.D.C). It normally does 1d4 M.D. when used someone with cybernetic strength. When energized, the blade does 3d6 + 1/2 P.S. S.D.C bonus in M.D. The knife E-clip can power it for 30 minutes maximum.
Ion Knife: The ion knife is a heavy knife with a virtually monomolecular edge, made of M.D. materials (20 M.D.C). It normally does 1d4 M.D. when used someone with cybernetic strength. When discharged, the ion knife temporarily scrambles the circuits of whatever machine the blade is currently in contact with. This shuts down minor machines for 1d4 minutes; cyborgs and P.A. are at a -3 to S/P/D for 1d3 melees due to computer problems. Anything else is unaffected.
Enhanced VibroKnife: This vibroknife is a heavy knife with a virtually monomolecular edge, made of M.D. materials (20 M.D.C). It normally does 1d4 M.D. when used someone with cybernetic strength. When activated, the vibroknife does 3d6 + P.S. S.D.C. bonus in M.D. The knife can run for a total of 3 hours before the E-clip in the hilt needs to be recharged. The vibroknife has an additional +1 to strike.
Rocket Knifes: Rocket knifes are variations of the rocket hammer. They are light knives made of M.D.C. material (6 M.D.C) with an ultra fine edge. When used by someone with cybernetic strength, they do 1d2 M.D.C. in melee. The rocket knifes have a micro-rocket in their hilts. When the engine is activated, the knife will do 2d4 M.D., to a target within a range of 150 meters.
Monoblade: This knife is a length of monomolecular iron wire held rigid by a magnetic field generated in the hilt. The knife does 5d4 + P.S. S.D.C. bonus in M.D. If the magnetic field ever fails, the wielder of the knife has a 20% chance of losing 1d4 fingers from the monowire. The knife appears as a normal knife hilt with a faintly glowing line extending up from the hilt (the magnetic field). The monoblade also requires a special sheath to store it in.
Disrupter Bolas: Disrupter bolas releases a steady stream of power directly into their target, enough to cause muscle spasms in humans and system interference in cyborgs. Humans take 1d6 S.D.C. from the bolas initially, then must save vs. lethal poison or be knocked flat from the shock. If the target fails the save, they are -8 S/P/D and take 2 points of S.D.C. every melee in the bolas. If the target makes their save, they need to get out of the bolas soon, because each additional melee round that the target is in the bolas, they must make an additional save or be stunned. Cyborgs hit with the bolas must save or be -6 S/P/D and the electrical feedback causes 1 point of damage per melee directly to H.P. if a partial conversion borg, no effect if full conversion (too much armor).
MonoBolas: MonoBolas are composed of monowire. They do incredible amounts of damage to a target, but if the thrower ever fails their roll, they can hit themselves in the head with their own weapon! The bolas do 3d4 x10 M.D. to the target. If the thrower fails their roll, they have a 75% chance of hitting themselves in the head with the bolas.
Neural Disablers: Neural disablers are designed to keep prisoners from escaping before delivery to proper authorities. The neural disrupter is a headband that is placed on the prisoner. When activated, the disrupter causes a neural feedback leaving the prisoner at an -8 to S/P/D, 1/2 attacks, and -40% to skills. The prisoner is in somewhat of a dream state, not sure of when and where they are.
Neural Nets: Neural nets inflict a massive electrical shock on all those caught under it, much as a neural mace. The net itself is made of M.D.C materials (30 M.D.C.), and everyone caught in the net must make a save as though being hit by a neural mace every melee round in the net.
PlasmaMace: This is a heavy, knobbed mace made of M.D. materials (15 M.D.C.). The mace normally inflicts 3d6 S.D.C + P.S. bonus. When charged, the mace does 4d6 M.D. plus there is a 01-50% chance of setting flammable objects on fire. The mace can also fire a 2d6+5 M.D. fireball at targets up to 800 feet away. Payload is 20 plasma ignitions, or 10 plasmabolts.
PowerBlade: The powerblade is a large (23 cm blade) bowie knife, with a blade of ruby crystal. It functions as a normal vibroblade, doing 2d6 M.D. It contains a small powercell (10 charges) that is used to power its other abilities. The powerblade can project an ionization field about it, allowing it to do full damage to phased entities, for 1 charge per melee round. The powerblade also has a laser emitter built into it, and is capable of firing a 3d6 M.D.C blast for 2 attacks, range 1500 meters. For 1 attack, the blade will emit a blinding flash equal to the spell. For a 1 minute charge, the blade will phase as a phase-blade, ignoring armor it strikes, and doing 2d6 S.D.C. to the target within the armor. Force fields will block the blade, taking no damage.
Rocket Hammer: The rocket hammer is a massive warhammer, with a 145 cm handle. The hammer comes to a point at one end, and has a mini-rocket engine on the other end. The hammer normally does 3d6 + P.S. bonus S.D.C. The rocket is a one shot option during a battle, but when fired, the hammer does 6d6 M.D.C. The hammer is -3 to strike when the rocket is active.
VibroStaff: The vibrostaff has two forms. The base form is a longsword with a 1 meter blade, and 23 cm hilt. The second form, activated by twisting the lower half of the hilt 1/2 turn, turns the vibrosword into a vibrostaff by extending another blade 1 meter from the bottom of the hilt. The both blades can be collapsed into the hilt, leaving a 23 cm cylinder. The weapon does the same damage regardless of form, 3d6 M.D. While in staff mode, the vibrostaff can be used as though it is a paired weapon, allowing simultaneous attacks with both staff blades.
WarBlade: The warblade is a large knife/short sword 75 cm in length. The blade is made of rare earths and treated in a specialized smithing process. The blade is molecularly bonded, which makes the blade both incredibly hard (300 M.D.C.) and incredibly sharp, with a monoblade-like edge capable of doing 1d4x10 +10 M.D.
Field Repair Kit: The field repair kit is a cyborg medkit. The medkit has a small medical computer (M.D. cybernetics 75%/50%) that can be used to diagnose problems by direct link to the cyborg. The medkit can also give directions on how to effect field repairs. These repairs will only be of a temporary nature, failing in 1d4 +1 hours. The repair kit includes 3 sets of repair nanites (3d6 M.D.C. -- must be of a cyborg model included in the repair kit datatbase), 2 "cleaner" beetles (micro-bots, 1.2 inches long, designed to clean out foreign/scrap material that has penetrated the cyborg skin casing), 20 doses of spray sealant (seal breaches against environmental damage), cybernetics repair kit (small), cutting torch, battery capable of running the cyborg at minimal power for 3 hours (if reactor is damaged), 5 doses antitoxin and antibiotics (if life support has been breached).
Flight Pack: The flight pack is a contra-gravity maneuvering system (+5 % to pilot: jet pack). It plugs directly into the cyborg through connectors in the cyborg's back. The flight pack cannot be removed, except by doing 25 M.D.C. to the connectors, unless the cyborg wishes to remove the flight pack. The flight pack plugs directly into the Battle Angel's power supply, giving it a virtually unlimited range, except the system must cool down 2 hours for every 22 of use. The pack is usually a small box-like system, as normal jet packs, but there are flight packs designed as angelic wings - The wingspan of 7 feet.
Force Bracer: The force bracer projects a small but powerful force field as a shield on the arm that the bracer is on. This shield can be used to parry attacks. The shield itself can take a maximum of 100 M.D. before it collapses. If the force field collapses, it cannot be reactivated for 6 hours. The force bracer runs on an internal powercell -- it takes 5 charges to activate the force field for 1 hour. The cyborg can recharge the powercell from internal power, but cannot draw power from the powercell in the bracer.
Kinetic Cloth Armor: Kinetic cloth armor is designed to absorb damage from kinetic attacks. Kinetic cloth armor comes in several different styles and degrees of protection. Kinetic Cloth armor otherwise looks like plain-clothes armor with varying Armor Ratings. There are also MDC capable Kinetic Cloths capable of absorbing Rail Gun projectiles and other MDC Kinetic Weapon Strikes.
Miscellaneous Equipment
Booster Systems: Boosters are essentially high-tech bandages. They are wrapped around a wound and activated. Once activated, it injects a local anesthetic, sterilizes the wound, and seals it. Then it attempts to duplicate the movement of the damaged area, returning mobility to the wounded individual (although the wounded area is at one-half efficiency, or 1/2 P.S., P.P., etc.) The booster appears as a heavy cloth wrap, lined with wires, sensors, small tubes, and other odd looking pieces. On the outside of the booster is a small control panel that indicates the extent of the wound, and can be tied into a Medical Expert System. Applying a booster can be done with any medical skill, or with a 1D100 roll against I.Q. x3%. If an area protected by a booster suffers more than 10 points of damage, the booster will be destroyed, and the area will suffer two times the rolled damage. NOTE: Boosters cannot be applied to the head.
Camo-Tinter: This is a small device (about 5x3x2 cm) that is used to change the color of objects. It has sensors that read the surrounding colors. It then emits a beam of light. When this light is applied to a properly treated object (such as all combat armor), it chemically changes the color of the object so as to match the surrounding terrain. Objects so treated are -20% to be spotted visually. Coloring one suit of armor takes about 5 minutes.
Det-Kit: The Det-Kit is used to set detonators. It is 6x12x4 cm in size. The Det-Kit comes with 30 detonator discs, which are placed into a small slot, and are then programmed for whatever type of detonation is desired. This requires a successful Demolitions skill roll. The Det-Kit also comes with a small communications system that has an optimal range of five kilometers. The Kit also scans the frequencies that are being used in the area, so that it does not use one of these for detonation. Up to 10 charges can be set to blow by remote control using the Kit.
Expert Automations Systems: Expert Automations Systems are essentially dedicated computers, designed to provide data on one subject. The cost depends on the skill and level performed. Expert systems are about the size of a Pocket PC or Notebook. The specific skill programmed in the system is determined by the actual skill set found in the books, and are dependent upon that skill’s percentage.
Holotarp: The holotarp is a reflective material that, when activated, refracts light from the surrounding terrain, acting as camouflage. Anything covered by the tarp is -25% to be spotted visually. Holotarps come in small, brick-like packages. When unfolded, they measure 4x4 meters square. They are waterproof, and tear- resistant. A small control panel is used to activate them.
P-Comm Communicator: This is a (relatively) small Phase Polarization Communication device. It is oval, and about 35 cm long.
Perscomp: This is a small, ultra-thin wristband that has a small readout and input device on it. It acts as a diary, notebook, calendar, and calculator.
Power Packs: Most of the equipment in the RL universe would be useless without power. These are essentially small batteries that are attached to a device that requires power. When attached to a device, the device can be set to draw power from the pack (one point per second) to recharge it's own power reserves, or to run directly off the power pack. Small power packs are about 3cm Square, medium packs are approximately 7 cm square, and large packs are 15 cm square.
Zero-G Motive Equipment: This is a system of small jets and compensators designed to allow the wearer to move in zero-g (or micro-gravity) as easily as he might walk or swim on a planet. The wearer has an effective Spd. of 15-25. Requires a Zero-G movement (or similar) skill to use.
