Slicer Gear

Infiltration and Espionage Equipment – Much of a Rebel’s work is necessarily carried out in the shadows. The Alliance simply does not have the resources or personnel to face off head-to-head against the powerful war machine of the Galactic Empire, so to bring about the change they desire and to spread freedom throughout the galaxy, many Rebels wage a shadow war against the Empire. While spying, targeted assassinations, industrial espionage, sabotage, commerce raiding, and other violent and disruptive acts may have a reputation as cowardly and dishonorable among some, these tactics are extremely effective in the kind of guerrilla warfare being waged by the Alliance. Clandestine Rebel operatives use a number of specialized pieces of equipment to help them carry out their quiet attacks on Imperial infrastructure.

From Age of Rebellion

Slicers, talented computer jockeys who navigate the labyrinthine guts of computer code and mainframe systems as easily as an ace pilot navigates through an asteroid belt, use specially constructed gear to gain access to secure computer systems. Most are homebuilt from custom components and are illegal to greater or lesser degrees. These powerful personal computers are packed with bleeding-edge codebreaking software, encryption/decryption systems, data probes, credit chip spoofers, and various other nefarious tools. Like their users, pieces of slicer gear are highly unique; often a slicer can be identified by others of his kind by the electronic fingerprints left behind by his gear.

From Edge of the Empire

Slicers use their formidable talents to gain access and control of computers, and items such as these are their main tools. Their main weapons are highly customized (usually to illegal degrees) computers of their own, filled with the latest decryption software, codebreakers, and data probes. Other items might include false credit chips for accessing the accounts of others or modifying monetary levels. But like slicers themselves, their tools are unique; often a slicer can identify another slicer simply by inspecting the electronic fingerprints his tools leave behind.
