[b]Weapons[/b]: 
[u]Modded LP4 (.45 Gauss Beretta) Pistol (2 pcs)[/u]:
[indent]The LP4 is a semi-automatic handgun that uses .45 bullets as ammunition. Because it uses gauss technology, the gun has less recoil, more power, but heavier by 205 grams (163 grams more with the additional grappling hook attachment) in comparison to its more original ballistic siblings. It has been modified to allow a grappling hook attachment for Matija’s harnesses.

[u]SV-98 GS Series Sniper Rifle (and bipod)[/u]:
[indent]The original SV-98 was designed to “engage targets at a range up to 1,000 m (1,100 yd)”. Its heavier, bulkier, and more powerful sibling, the SV-98 GS (gauss) series increases its range for up to 500 m (550 yd) but with the additional weight for the electromagnets (plus 0.5 k for the original 7.8 kg). The effective firing range for this gun is 1500 but will experience considerable environmental effects (wind, gravity, etc.) after 300 meters.

[u]Minerva Helmet[/u]:
[indent]A light armored helmet designed for increased viewing ability instead of protection. It comes with a programmable on-board heads-up display (HUD) visible only to the user with compatible neural implants. It is designed to seal the user’s head from external particulates when traversing toxic environments and to accept air from external supplies during EVA. Its wireless call functions, solar powered lighting, and video recording ability was designed for better reconnaissance capabilities. The helmet also includes a [url= https://www.halopedia.org/images/thumb/b/ba/Night_vision_spartan.jpg/1200px-Night_vision_spartan.jpg]night vision device[/url] to help the user see in extremely low-lit spaces. However due to the NVD’s size requirement for portability, it does not allow for long-distance viewing. The exterior shell is usually outfitted with user invisible light mods to show different designs.

[u](Modified) Ragno Experimental Gravity Armor[/u]:
[indent]A medium armor power armor that can ground the user to a surface that they are standing on for a total of 23.7 minutes within a single charge. While the rest of the armor is designed to support the user’s body as well as distribute the artificial gravity throughout the body, the armor’s footwear carries the brunt of its gravitational power. The footwear is aesthetically bulky, but its sole is designed to almost completely muffle the user’s footfalls to effectively hide the user from audio detection. While the armor’s function remains the same, Matija had already heavily stripped and modified the suit for her own use.

Originally, the armor was created for reconnaissance and space travel for low-gravity planets (to lessen the weight of the armor in total). It was supposed to be “a personal artificial gravity field that allows its user to walk in any direction and surface, regardless of orientation for almost an indefinite period of time,” while also boasting minor energy shielding capable of warding off some space debris (and small arms fire). [/indent]

[u](Modified) Balam Experimental Body Suit Mk 3[s].2[/s][/u]:
[indent]It is usually worn under her armor or used by itself if needed. The Balam suit line was specifically created for stealth and reconnaissance, boasting the ability to make its user almost completely invisible within 2 seconds upon activation. The 3rd model in particular focuses on improving sound dampening technology, making the user virtually silent. The suit also has an insulating gel layer that helps the user retain heat in their bodies even in extreme environments. The suit's invisibility can last for a total of 30 minutes, and it only affects most organic materials. Its current unofficial modification makes the suit less revealing. [/indent]

[indent]Sniper, assassin, intelligence agent, or distraction for any target or targets. She is most effective on long-range engagements or for flanking maneuvers but believes that she is at her best when she knows that she had outwitted the opposition. [/indent]

[hr]
[b]History[/b]:
	[indent]She was captured during a data retrieval operation when supposed disarmed alarms alerted facility guards to her presence. She was then captured and eventually forced between two choices: be an alliance attack dog, or spend her life in prison. After an obvious choice, she set sail as a crew member of the Revenant Project where she ended up sustaining a traumatic head injury during an accident in space where she had to be put in an induced coma. After waking and going through grueling months of recovery, she continued working for the Revenant team until they found themselves finally liberated from the Alliance’s grasp. 

For now, she is staying in with the crew in order to find and exact revenge to those who wronged her. [/indent]

Regarding the alien race:
[hider=Mecor]
   Mecor lies within the recently discovered galaxy of Beul-442. Heading towards the planet is deemed dangerous because of it distance and the electrical storms that are constantly raging at the dusty outskirts of the galaxy. However, the planet itself hosts a warm tropical weather that easily changes between sunny, stormy, and back to a sunny weather within a day.

   The planet had been labeled as a water planet seeing that it is composed of approximately 90% water with visible “kelp” and sponge forests on relatively shallower depths. The surface has small land masses with white or black sanded beaches, and hardened soil on what little space is available. Some of the planet’s forests and [i]trees[/i] appear to be made out of large dead coral-like forms (especially those by, and near their bays) and those with soil have thick rocky forests that are too hard and too thick to easily trek. Most life seems to come from the waters of the planet, therefore making research even harder to pursue.

   Its inhabitants were initially believed to be in an early stage of technology through remote-controlled areal drone feeds that showed shanty-like dwellings near bay areas and inhabitants seemingly wearing minimal clothing. This speculation had just recently been refuted when the inhabitants were seen using ballistic weaponry similar in function to the earth’s post-colonial or industrial era weaponry for hunting and sport. A well-accepted hypothesis states that the dwellings near bays may be ‘temporary homes’ for its inhabitants while actual settlements might be located somewhere in their thick coral forests, or even underwater. 

   Mecor’s inhabitants have been dubbed as Mecorians: an aggressively territorial humanoid-amphibian race. But through thorough Republic efforts, portions of the planet had finally opened up to allow interactions from outsiders. At present, some Mecorian settlements are allowing specific teams and individuals to interact with them.
[/hider]
[hider=Mecorians]

   Based on what is known about them, it is that they are amphibious humanoid creatures with skin colors ranging from light brown to black, platinum white hair, colorless irises, webbed hands and feet, webbed dorsal spines, and sharp nails and teeth for tearing food. They seem to exhibit bioluminescent capabilities on their eyes and bodily markings when in water popularly believed to be a way to lure prey towards them when hunting.

[sub][s]   Some scientists hypothesized that Mecorians might be related to humans due to structural and biological similarities. Outsider-accepting settlements are being encouraged to partake in DNA mapping efforts in order to prove or disprove the theory however there is currently no viable data to back-up this claim. However, the concept of chronological impossibility had quieted such claims. [/s][/sub]

[indent]A power gauntlet/fist that can also function as as a container for small objects. The gauntlet can increase a punch’s PSI up to 57%. Not a usual weapon for use considering people’s common preferences for ranged weapons that does not require their user to be within enemy poking distance. This weapon is commonly sold to people who like to let their fists do the talking for them. [/indent]

This is an armor meant to be a multi-purpose suit that can help its user survive just about any common-place environmental hazards and then some. It is a suit preferred by wanderers and spacers due to its durability and easy maneuverability. The armor itself has been modified with added plating for defense, as well as an ability to allow the user to interface their holo-computer through the suit. Another added modification is its capability to provide input and output from the Chorus power gauntlets. [/indent]

• Unaysah’s carrier case: It is an armored backpack and carrier case that has been modified to have the ability to connect and stay connected to Koren’s air tank so he could have her around on the go. Its power source is independent from the Haeger Armor’s energy cells and can be recharged through a power port or can also be left to charge over time, though it will take longer. The carrier has been fitted with a small energy shield and kinetic dampeners to minimize sudden movements that would startle its small inhabitant. Inside is a surprisingly large and comfortable space fit for the giant Shi-jai. A power-disk is magnetically attached to the back and can be thrown as a projectile that is guaranteed to come back to the user. The bag snugly fits and can be clasped on his armor’s back. The lights have been disabled to minimize power consumption.

[hr]
[b]History[/b]:
[indent]Koren was captured after being found complicit to an illegal colonial and poaching expedition near the fringes of Alliance space working both as a mechanic and cartographer. The Alliance decided to give him a choice between serving his time on orbital mining jobs or working for a suicide squad. Much like most, he decided to take his chances on dying with others than dying slowly in a mining gig. This landed him a job in the Revenant crew as the resident ship mechanic and had participated in missions till the eventual breakaway from Alliance control.

At present, he remains affiliated with the Revenant crew out of preference as he has nothing better to do. [/indent]

[*] Juz’ is written with the apostrophe and said differently (Jooz-daa).
[*] He tends to seemingly wander aimlessly than anything so it’s unlikely for him to be seen in the same place twice in a row unless he’s doing something there.

Personal notes from Dr. A█████, Head of Psionic Research and Development, [REDACTED]:
[hider= ]
Koren Syr Ai Elanus is potentially the strongest non-augmented Psionic we have ever met. According to acquired records, he was labeled strongest in his age group when he was tested for his abilities nearly two decades ago where he was rated ██% stronger than most of the Juz’’s psionic population, and 9█% for their Aerokene class. However much like most aerokenes, his body cannot endure prolonged Psionic use regardless of their destructive abilities.

His astonishing ability to manipulate and control air has been noted when he was tested during his period with the [REDACTED]. The current tested abilities are what you would expect from an Aerokene, but multiply the power by 10. Dr. B████ and Dr. L███ once asked the subject to [REDACTED] a test subject in order to test his capabilities in covert assassinations. The Juz’ politely declined but stated that he may be capable of doing so if necessary but would never want to do so for the curiosity of others.

One test required him to wear Psi-inhibitor collars of varying strength to see just how powerful he could be. Amazingly, he showed the ability to create small gusts of wind despite wearing a class 5 collar at the cost of a major migraine and a nose-bleed. He has also shown abilities for minor manipulation on other physical objects and substances, hinting at latent omnikene capabilities. More tests will be conducted to prove or disprove this.

The Juz’ had initially been rated as a [REDACTED] Psionic for his raw power and capabilities. Upon further debate and observation, the Juz’’s status has been lowered to a Yellow class level 7 for his compliance.
[/hider]


[hider=The Juz’]
The Juz’ are the inhabitants of the planet Juz’ within the Hajj system. A single revolution of the planet around its sun would take 2.1 of the Earth but would seem visually similar to 13th century Earth sans building lights and technology when viewed from space. Juz’ has a temperate climate that is usually composed of constantly moving lush forestry, rolling plains, and wide lake-like bodies of water that could easily be considered as small oceans if not for its lack of salt. Less than a sixth of a year, Juz’ would be enveloped with soft glass-like snow that locals enjoy.

The people of Juz’ are sometimes called [i]Elementals[/i] by off-worlders due to their psionic abilities being focused around controlling natural elements (earth, fire, water, air, etc,) instead of other living beings or matter modification. The Juz’ is a single-sex race of bipedal humanoid creatures mostly known for their lengthy life-spans, black horns, a warmongering nature, and their largely psionic-abled citizens. Juz’’s are generally approached with caution due to their appearance, general temperament, and psionic abilities. These individuals are also known known to usually have a Juz’ native animal with them at all times who they call [i]”altaw'am alruwh”[/i] (translated as “twin spirit”) that function as psionic amplifying familiars, as well as life companions.

The Planet is currently running a monarchic government system ruled by two Kings under the Ai Elainus royal line. A King and his groom (which will then be called a faux-King) would usually have children that will ascend to the throne based on their birth-order. However there are incidents where younger princes are instead seated due to one reason or another. It is common for princes to fight for power and approval from the Kings in order to assure their power in the future. The current Kings are earth and fire based Juz’ living past their first century. Their children are fire, earth, and air elementals in their respective birth order. The third is deceased due to a kidnapping incident years ago.
