Man Trap

Model: Ubrikkian R-TechApp Man Trap
Type: Localized gravity enhancer
Cost: 8,000
Availability: 3, F
Game Notes: The person setting the man trap should make a hide roll to see how well the device is hidden; any potential target making a successful Perception roll will notice the trap. Anyone caught by the trap must make an opposed Strength roll - the man trap's gravity setting is variable, simulated by allowing the hunter to choose a Strength anywhere between 5D and 15D.

The man trap is a miniaturized reversed repulsorlift field. A small, flat one-meter-square piece of metal is normally hidden; it is powered by a small repulsorlift generator, with a cord 10 meters long (additional length cords can be purchased). The man trap also has a remote activator. Once activated, the man trap creates a high intensity gravity field (repulsorlift repels against the local gravity; this reversed field greatly intensifies the gravity). The resulting gravity field is so strong that a target stepping on or over the field is pulled to the plate, immobilized. Movement, let alone escape, is virtually impossible. Once the intended target is so immobilized, the acquisition can be quickly tranquilized and secured.
