EQUIPMENT & GEAR

v07 — Ward Era Catalogue

Compatible with ASH & AEGIS SRD v0.8

By Robert Graham

USING THIS SUPPLEMENT

This supplement provides comprehensive equipment tables for all scales of play in the Ash & Aegis system — from sidearms and medkits carried by personnel to the autocannons and guided ordnance mounted on RIG-class platforms. It is designed to sit alongside the core SRD and expands the gear entries in Parts 7–11 with pricing, availability, range data, and manufacturer attribution.

All core rules — EquipMods, armour DR and Integrity, weapon damage dice, Exo-Frame power tracks — are unchanged from the SRD. This supplement adds commercial and narrative context.

Scale Reference

Personal Scale — Individual characters on foot. Standard human-sized threats and terrain.

Vehicle Scale — Wheeled and hover vehicles. Crew-served weapons. Transit and logistics.

RIG Scale — RIG-class platforms (Gear-Frame through Eidolon). Frame-mounted hardpoint weapons and systems.

A direct hit from a RIG weapon on a personal-scale target is a narrative event, not a damage roll. Do not apply RIG weapon damage to personal HP pools.

Range Band TN Penalty Key

Ranged weapon tables include four range band columns showing the TN penalty added at each band. These stack with movement, cover, and circumstance modifiers the GM applies.

Band	Distance	Notes
Close	0–10 m	Pistols and shotguns ideal. Rifles awkward (+1 TN shown in table). Melee threat range.
Short	10–50 m	Most weapons effective. Pistols beginning to degrade at outer edge.
Medium	50–150 m	Rifles ideal. Pistols very difficult. Shotguns ineffective past ~80 m.
Long	150 m+	Marksman and anti-material only. All others at severe TN penalty.

A '—' in a range column means the weapon cannot be used at that band — not merely penalised, but physically not viable. 'N/A' means beyond maximum effective range regardless of modifiers.

CURRENCY, AVAILABILITY & CARRY CULTURE

Ward Credits (₩WC)

The standard regulated currency of the Ward Cities. Commerce inside the walls runs through the Civic Identity & Ledger Bureau (CILB) credit system, linked to a citizen's NID and — for most people — their neural lace. Ward Credits are the unit of account for all prices in this supplement.

Outside the walls, hard goods, Veil Pearls, salvage lots, and barter dominate. A Veil Pearl assayed to standard purity trades at roughly ₩12,000–18,000 WC depending on the Ward and current fusion-grade demand. Pearl Assay Houses take 6–10% commission on conversion.

Availability Tiers

Every item in this supplement carries an Availability rating describing how easily it can be obtained through normal channels. The philosophy behind what is restricted and what is not varies by Ward City. In NewTex specifically, that philosophy is shaped by a culture that views an armed citizenry as a strategic asset, not a threat.

Tier	Access	Black Market Premium	Notes
Open	No permit, no registration. Civilian shops, markets, and general trade across most Ward Cities. No questions asked.	×1.5 (sourcing only)	Standard everyday goods and personal carry items.
Licensed	Valid Ward credentials, contractor permit, or active guild membership. Purchase recorded in CILB ledger. Regulated vendors only.	×2–3	Professional-tier arms and equipment. Standard contractor and militia carry.
Restricted	Military, Directorate, or approved security contractor procurement only. Not available in civilian or contractor channels without formal authorisation.	×4–6	Heavy weapons, crew-served systems, and classified technology.
Black Market	Prohibited in all regulated channels. Underground networks, corrupt contacts, direct theft. Authenticity and condition unverified.	Baseline (this is BM price)	Listed price is the black market rate.
Salvage	Not commercially produced. Recovered in field or traded by scavengers. Condition variable. C-DAY decontamination required before Ward re-entry.	N/A	No standard price — negotiated per item.

NEWTEX CARRY CULTURE & THE SERVICE OBLIGATION NewTex does not restrict firearms the way older pre-Collapse governments once debated. It cannot afford to. Every NewTex citizen born or naturalised into the city enters a four-year Service Obligation beginning at age 16. Service runs six months on, six months off — alternating between active wall rotation and civilian life until the obligation is complete at roughly age 20. During active rotations, citizens serve under ward militia command: wall patrols, Chimera response standby, equipment maintenance, and basic tactical training. The result is a population where firearms are not alien objects. By age 20, a NewTex resident has handled a weapon under live conditions — possibly in contact with Chimera. They may not be trained marksmen. They may not have the Firearms skill at any Rank. But they have fired a weapon, they know what it does, and they are not surprised by one. Mechanically, this means NewTex characters do not gain Firearms Skill Ranks for free — the Service Obligation teaches familiarity, not expertise. But no NewTex-born character should be roleplayed as confused by the basic operation of a firearm. The Directorate's view on carry is equally pragmatic: a citizen with a pistol on their hip is a first-line Chimera response unit. The things the Directorate restricts are not weapons — they are weapons capable of threatening the wall, the grid, or the population at mass scale. A shotgun in a civilian apartment is an asset. An unregistered grenade launcher is a problem. Other Ward Cities operate under different cultural and legal frameworks. Some are more restrictive. Some — particularly those built on different pre-Collapse traditions — may be less so. These differences are detailed in the Ward City lore documentation.

Price Notes

Prices represent typical NewTex market rates in mid-2095. Fluctuations of ±20% occur based on local supply, Chimera pressure, and political climate. The Perimeter Market Freehold operates at approximately ×1.5 on hard-to-find items but asks no questions. Badlands operators selling recovered gear typically expect 30–50% of listed value.

The GM may rule that Restricted items are unavailable for purchase at any price without the right contacts — access to military supply chains is a significant asset worth roleplaying rather than bypassing with a credit transaction.

PERSONAL WEAPONS

Melee damage = Base + STR + die roll. Ranged damage = Base + die roll only — no attribute adds. Aimed Shot (3 AP, Steady only) lets the attacker choose hit location — no automatic damage bonus. See SRD Part 7, Section 11 for full rules.

Fire Mode Tags

Ranged weapons capable of Burst Fire or Full Auto attacks (SRD Section 22 — Fire Modes) carry one or both tags listed in their Notes entry. Weapons with no tag listed are semi-automatic or single-shot only and cannot use those attack actions. All rounds are consumed on trigger pull whether or not the attack hits. Suppression costs 10 rounds and requires Burst or Full Auto tag.

Burst — Burst Fire Attack: 2 AP, +2 TN, roll 1d3 bullets on hit, 3 rounds consumed per attack.

Full Auto — Full Auto Attack: 3 AP, +4 TN, roll 2d4 bullets on hit, 8 rounds consumed per attack. Full Auto weapons can also fire in Burst mode.

Melee Weapons

Melee weapons operate at Close range only. A thrown knife or light blade (Short range maximum) loses the STR bonus at range.

Sidearms

In NewTex, sidearm carry is culturally normal. A holstered pistol on a civilian draws about as much attention as a phone used to. Open carry is accepted; concealed carry is common. Registration is expected but enforcement is light for standard calibres.

Weapon	Base	Die	Close	Short	Med	Long	EM	Notes	Price (₩WC)	Availability

Rifles & Long Arms

Rifles are openly sold in NewTex. Assault and battle rifles require licensing — not prohibition, just registration and a basic competency check that most citizens clear during Service Obligation.

Crew-Served & Area Weapons

These are where the Directorate draws its line. Crew-served weapons and area-effect systems are restricted not because the Directorate fears its citizens with guns — it doesn't — but because a grenade launcher in a wall residential block is a structural risk. Volume-of-fire and area-denial weapons are military procurement only.

Weapon	Base	Die	Close	Short	Med	Long	EM	Notes	Price (₩WC)	Availability
Grenade Launcher (UGL)	8	d10	—	+0	+0	+2	+2	1.5 kg (underbarrel). Underbarrel mount. 3-round cylinder. Area effect. Indirect capable at Short+. Military procurement only.	4,500	Restricted

Carry Equipment, Packs & Ammunition Weights

Bags and harnesses organise load but do not increase carry capacity. Pack weight reduction applies to contents only — the pack itself counts at full weight. See SRD Section 12b for carry thresholds and encumbrance rules.

Item	Weight	Notes
Tactical Harness	1.0 kg	Designates 6 items as quick-access — draw as free action. Worn over clothing or armour. Does not store items.
Ammo Carrier	0.5 kg	Designates 6 magazines as quick-reload. Reload action costs 1 AP less when drawing from it. Worn.
Medic Bag	1.0 kg	+1 to Medicine checks when using its contents. Organised internal layout. 1 AP to retrieve items.
Sling Pack	0.5 kg	Holds up to 8 kg. No frame reduction. 1 AP to retrieve. Worn across body.
Field Pack	1.5 kg	Holds up to 20 kg. Ergonomic frame: contents count as 5 kg lighter toward carry total. 1 AP to retrieve.
Rucksack	3.0 kg	Holds up to 35 kg. Rigid load frame: contents count as 10 kg lighter toward carry total. 2 AP to retrieve. Drop as free action.

Magazine & Ammunition Weights

Magazine weights are per spare magazine carried. The weapon itself is assumed loaded — its listed weight includes one loaded mag. All grenade weights are per unit.

Magazine / Ammunition	Weight (per unit)
Pistol mag — compact (8 rds)	0.2 kg
Pistol mag — standard (12 rds)	0.3 kg
Pistol mag — heavy (10 rds)	0.3 kg

Flashbang (single)	0.3 kg
Chimera Lure (single)	0.2 kg

PERSONAL ARMOUR & EXO-FRAMES

Armour provides DR per body location. An unarmoured location has DR 0 regardless of what else the character wears. When a hit exceeds the DR at a location, that armour piece loses 1 Integrity. At 0 Integrity the DR drops to 0 until repaired. See SRD Part 7, Section 10 for full rules.

Security & Tactical Armour

Tactical and combat armour is broadly available to licensed buyers in NewTex. Full combat armour and above is Restricted — not because the Directorate fears armed citizens, but because powered military plate in civilian hands creates escalation risks during incidents.

Armour	DR	Integrity	Coverage	EquipMod	Bulk	Weight	Price (₩WC)	Availability

Heavy Assault Armour	6	6	All locations	+3	H	22.0 kg	35,000	Restricted

Heavy Assault Armour includes Powered Assist (power cell required; without power, -2 AGI). Optional Haz-Filter available. Aster Shieldworks and Armcal both supply; Directorate procurement favours Aster.

Armour Tags

Tag	Effect
Sealed	Full protection vs airborne hazards — Corroder spray, spore clouds, toxic atmospheres. Requires a sealed helmet or mask to close all locations.
Haz-Filter	Filtration only. Protects against particulates and mild chemical hazards. Not fully sealed against Chimera Caustic Spray.
Rad-Resist	Reduces radiation accumulation. Counts as protection for Rad exposure checks.
Powered Assist	Requires power cell. When active, negates movement penalties from armour weight. When power fails, the armour becomes dead weight.
Ablative	Loses 2 Integrity per hit that clears DR (instead of 1). Starts with +1 DR. Cheaper to buy, expensive to maintain in the field.

Exo-Frames

Exo-Frames are worn, not piloted. Attribute boosts apply only while worn and powered. Exo DR adds to personal armour at covered locations. No neural lace required for basic operation.

Power track: each charge = one scene of active use. When power fails, the Exo is dead weight (AGI -1 until removed — 2 AP and a helper for some models). Integrity degrades like armour: 1 lost when damage clears Exo DR and reaches the HP pool.

Exo-Frame	Attr Boost	DR (coverage)	Power	EquipMod	Price (₩WC)	Availability
Light Work Exo	STR +1	DR 1 — Torso/Arms	8 charges	+1	12,000	Licensed

Exo-Frame	Notes
Light Work Exo	Hydrin Engineering standard civilian model. Load capacity +STR value. Common in construction and logistics. Licensed rather than restricted — the Directorate considers these safety equipment.
Tactical Exo	VelTech military joint design. Military-grade actuators rated for sprint and close-quarters. Licensed for contractors; common on breach teams.
Heavy Lift Exo	Cannot Sprint — mass distribution doesn't support it while active. Load capacity ×3. Used for wall segments and heavy salvage.
Combat Exo	Sealed. Restricted — powered combat plating at this DR level is treated as equivalent to heavy armour. Armcal / Hydrin co-developed.
Hazard Exo	Sealed, Haz-Filter, Rad-Resist, Thermal insulation. FOR boost represents environmental stress resistance. Ashvale Environmental spec.
Industrial Clearance Exo	Chimera perimeter response variant. Sprint-capable at -1 AP. Slightly less STR than Heavy Lift but better coverage.
Eidolon-Interface Exo	Classified prototype rumoured to allow limited Frame-sense extension through lace. No legal source. NAVAI / KA-Dynamics origin suspected.

EQUIPMENT & GEAR

Equipment falls into three types per the core SRD: Passive (EquipMod indefinitely, maintenance only), Consumable (Supply rating — limited uses), and Powered (Power track — runs on charges or battery).

Neural Lace Systems

The neural lace is infrastructure. By 2095 most Ward City residents carry civil-grade lace — identity, payment, and communication all in one. Civil lace is priced within reach of any employed resident. Operative and Pilot grades represent serious career investments, not consumer purchases. Deep Lace does not exist in any legal market.

Lace implantation requires a licensed clinical procedure. Prices below include implant, initial calibration, and a one-year maintenance warranty. Baytech Clinical Laboratories offers implants at approximately 25% lower cost with a 3-month warranty and fewer premium services.

Lace System	Grade	Function / Notes	EquipMod	Price (₩WC)	Availability

Medical Equipment

Field medicine in the Ward era is functional but brutal. The best trauma outcomes come from immediate stabilisation followed by transfer to a CLC-Net clinic. A Trauma Kit is the difference between a casualty who can be moved and one who cannot.

PHARMACEUTICALS & CONTROLLED SUBSTANCES

The Ward era produces legitimate pharmaceuticals, Directorate-sanctioned performance aids for military and medical use, and a thriving underground market in everything else. All carry a cost beyond the purchase price: the body adapts to chemical assistance, and withdrawal extracts its toll.

Substances are tracked using an Addiction Rating (AR) from 1–5. Each time a character uses a substance rated AR 2 or higher, the GM may call for a FOR check at the listed TN. A failed check increases the character's Dependency Level by 1. Full Dependency and Withdrawal mechanics are in the SRD Combat Supplement (forthcoming).

Note to GM: The short-term benefit is real and will matter in desperate moments. The long-term downside should also be real. Do not allow these to function as throwaway consumables without engaging the consequences at the table.

AR Guide — AR 1: Mild habit-forming (caffeine-equivalent). AR 2: Moderate dependency potential. AR 3: Significant, requires effort to quit. AR 4: Severe, withdrawal causes mechanical penalties. AR 5: Extreme — long-term use causes permanent character changes.

VEHICLES

Vehicles are tools of transit and logistics, not combat platforms — though many can be armed. Unlike RIG-class frames, vehicles have a single Integrity pool and no location tracking. All hover vehicles use Telluric Lift. A catastrophic Telluric Cell breach causes arc flash, blast, and thermal venting — treat as Base 8, d8 area damage to all personnel within 6 m.

RIG-CLASS WEAPONS & SYSTEMS

RIG-class weapons operate at a scale that makes personal armour mechanically irrelevant. A direct hit from a standard RIG weapon on a personal-scale target is a narrative event — describe the outcome, do not roll against personal HP.

RIG platforms themselves are commercially available to licensed buyers — this is the mechanism by which mercenaries, independent operators, and contractor firms field them. The weapons and classified systems they carry may be subject to additional Directorate restriction independent of the frame purchase.

RIG Handheld Weapons

RIG-class frames have hands. A weapon carried in a RIG’s hands follows the same rules as a personal weapon carried by a character — it uses the Firearms skill (Frame AGI + Firearms rank), it can be dropped or knocked free, it can be picked up, and it can run out of ammunition. Handheld RIG weapons are purchased and fielded separately from the frame itself. A RIG arriving at a depot without its assigned weapon package is just a frame — the weapons are logged and tracked independently.

Hardpoint notes on a frame specification describe what weapon the frame typically carries — not a fixed mounting. The weapon is held. Dedicated hardpoint weapons (fixed racks, torso-mounts, integrated systems) are listed separately below.

Power-fed EM acceleration. Military classification — Eidolon Court / classified procurement only.	—	Military

RIG Weapon Ammunition & Logistics Weights

RIG-scale encumbrance operates at a different order of magnitude from personal carry — the personal weight system does not apply to a frame. Ammunition weights here are logistics figures: they govern how much a resupply vehicle can carry, how long a frame can sustain operations, and whether a depot can restock before the next deployment window. Each weapon is assumed to deploy with one loaded magazine. Additional cassettes or belts are purchased separately.

Weapon	Ammunition Type	Rounds	Weight	Notes
RIG Carbine Package	Box magazine — RIG-scale carbine rounds	60	8 kg	Standard fit. Easily sourced from Armcal supply chain.
CR-28 Coil Rifle Package	Sealed ferrous slug cassette	20	20 kg	Hermetically sealed against contamination. Cassette swap, not individual rounds.
Light Autocannon (20–30 mm)	Belt-fed 20–30 mm HE/AP rounds	300	120 kg	Standard belt. AP variant available at ×3 cost. Armcal HO supply.
RIG Shotgun / Breacher	Box magazine — RIG-scale breaching shot	20	25 kg	Solid slug and fragmentation loads available at same weight.
PD-18 Rotary Flechette	Sealed rotary drum — RIG-scale flechette	200	85 kg	Pre-packed drum; no field reload from loose rounds. Dust-tolerant sealed unit.
R-55 Railgun Package	Penetrator cassette — ferrous rod	10	30 kg	Sealed, contamination-rated. Hardened ferrite penetrators. Armcal HO supply.
R-41 Long Rail Package	Extended penetrator cassette — ferrous rod	15	42 kg	Extended handling sized for multi-day ops. Same penetrator standard as R-55.
R-62 Heavy Rail Package	Heavy penetrator cassette — dense ferrous rod	8	45 kg	Larger mass penetrators for frame-defeat. Not interchangeable with R-55/R-41 cassettes.
R-19 Semi-Automatic Railgun	Standard feed cassette — hardened ferrite darts	12	35 kg	Standard resupply load. Onboard fabrication produces 1 combat load per 8 hrs from raw feedstock — feedstock weight varies by source material purity.

RIG Hardpoint & Integrated Systems

Hardpoint and integrated weapons are fixed to the frame — they cannot be dropped, disarmed, or transferred. Rack weapons (missile systems, rocket pods) are expended and must be reloaded at depot. Integrated weapons (blades, claws, point defence) are part of the frame’s chassis. Installation and removal of hardpoint systems requires depot facilities and appropriate Engineering skill.

RIG Platform Acquisition

RIG-class frames are commercially available to licensed buyers. Acquisition requires Ward licensing, proof of operational need, and a formal purchase agreement. The Directorate monitors all sales but does not prohibit them for legitimate operators. This is how mercenaries, contractors, and independent operators field them. The Eidolon is the exception — it remains classified and effectively state-controlled.

Values below represent assessed market pricing for a standard chassis without loadout. A fully armed and upgraded combat RIG will be significantly higher. Used and salvaged frames are common in the contractor market — typically 30–60% of new value, condition and maintenance history variable.
