Barabel Microbe Armor Model: Creshaldyne Industries Barabel Microbe Armor Type: Biological blast vest Cost: 30,000 Availability: 4 Game Notes: vest initially gives +1D to resist damage from blaster attacks to front and back torso. With each subsequent hit by a blaster bolt, the vest goes up by one pip (+1D, +1D+1, +1D+2, +2D, etc.) up to a maximum of 3D. The vest drops by one pip for every three minutes the vest is not hit by a blast. If a blast penetrates the vest enough to allow the user to be wounded, the vest is destroyed. If exposed to below zero temperatures for as little as 15 minutes, the vest is destroyed. Source: Galladinium’s Fantastic Technology (pages 85-86), Arms and Equipment Guide (pages 41-42)
