Since these are auto mechanics, they don't do a very pretty
job.
Common Helmet
Signal Deflector

Some geckos have emergency comm gear, oxygen systems, and the
like that run off solar energy, just in case. There's not a lot
of light in deep space, so geckos wear these to charge up while

socially inferior to the ones who were born on a planet proper.
Some racers like to rep lunies as a matter of pride.

in the middle of the race. Technically illegal, which is why
they're designed not to look like a weapon.

These display non-obtrusive holographic images For geckos who
want pictures of their loved ones with them at all times. Or,

uncommon
These have a hidden device that records audio and video. Useful
if you want to spy.
Wonky Headlights
uncommon
Useful if you're ever caught in the dark. Lights are one of the
first things to go if a ship has a collision or other problem,
so alternate light sources are useful.
Nebular Optics
uncommon
A type of artifical eye. They may not look pretty, but the
technology they use gives geckos enhanced vision. Some racers
even intentionally blind themselves in one or both eyes in order
to use them.
Groovy Perceptors
uncommon
This looks like a bomb, and it is a bomb - or more
specifically, a hand grenade. Good to keep on you just in case
you catch someone sabotaging your ship.

uncommon
Some saboteurs try to blind rival geckos. It's not entirely
uncommon to see racers with prosthetic eyes.

Uncommon Armor
Cosmonautic Shielding
uncommon
For geckos who are worried they'll crash land planetside, this
suit has all you need to keep you comfortable until faction
rescue comes.
Sentient Virus
uncommon
The Targari once developed a virus to infect the navigational
systems of rival spaceships. For some reason, it gained
superstitious status as ungetriddable, and people build separate
bodies for them to infect so that they'll leave their ships
alone (plus, they tend to have friendly personalities, and it's
nice to have something to talk to).
Technical Swag
uncommon
Each of these is a hard drive containing different programs for
aeronautic maneuvering. For geckos who like to tinker with their
spaceship's computers. Originally invented by the Targari.
Cybernetic Wiring
uncommon
This armor has systems that allow a gecko to communicate with
their spaceship's systems without leaving the bridge. Or
sometimes, if they just get lonely. At least one gecko is said
to have fallen in love with their spaceship through use of this
system...which is especially curious, considering how strange a
spaceship's personality tends to be.
Plutonic Plating
uncommon
Some spaceships run off epsilon crystals. They require a warm,
dry environment to grow...like a gecko's body. This is
considered slightly dangerous, as you need to consume enough
calories and get enough sunlight to support both yourself and
your crystal garden.
Heroic Foil

Geckos who distinguish themselves during training are often
given these sashes.

uncommon
Body armor for geckos with a fashion sense.
Autonomous Carapace
uncommon
For those who like to wriggle their fingers creepily while they

the race.

reflexes who can handle that kind of rapid-fire

on their top-notch engineering skills, but also, very useful for
examining small electronics when the ship needs repairs.

This eyewear allows you to see the unseen - spirits of dead
racers, and a mysterious race of invisible creatures called
"gremlins" that are blamed for technical malfunctions aboard
racing ships.
Glassy Detectors
rare
These goggles are used to detect invisible aspects of the race
such as proton streams, which can be harnessed to boost the
speed of one's ship. The act of riding a solar wave is called
"surfing the thermal."
Ionic Disruptors
rare
These can be used to disturb the electronics of a rival ship
and are popular among saboteurs. Sometimes racers hire paid
saboteurs to sneak aboard enemy spaceships to even the odds
during a race...but being caught interfering with the
Interstellar Relay means death, and they don't come cheap.
Rare Helmet
Budding Coral
rare
Geckos from the ocean planet of Targarius wear these as a
symbol of their homelands.
Mechanical Hound
rare

ship won't soon forget it. Technically contraband reserved for
the Emperor Prime's military, but every gecko who can get their
hands on one does anyway.
Identified Flying Object

These are children's toys. Some geckos wear them to remind
themselves of their children back home; others wear them to show
support for sick children. All factions love these toys, but
they're particularly popular among the Alura.
Glorious Trespasser
rare
Species from a planet where, due to its proximity to a black
hole, time has little meaning. Some say these are hyperevolved
geckos from the future and entering a symbiotic relationship
with one improves your speed and reflexes - others just say
they're good luck.

rare
Pets from the cave planet of Terratoria. Responsible for cave
paintings on their native planet, they often decorate the inside
of their spaceship's hull using their internal ink sacs.

They have about the intelligence of a five-year-old child, and
precocious ones can be taught to speak.
Rare Ears
Pulsing Sizzlers
rare
Eccentric geckos wear these. They claim it helps harness the
innate power of the universe. Ancient gecko warriors used lit
torches in a similar way.
Viral Implant

cognitive abilities, it was modified by the Targari into a
precision enhancer and some racers will deliberately infect
themselves. This is an artifical environment to help cultivate
the virus.

next action in battle, allowing you to react before they even
move. It's also useful for navigating unpredictable asteroid
fields.
Extendable Examiners
mythic
While they may look strange, these goggles allow a gecko to see
a full light year ahead of them. It's a lot to take in, though,
so some geckos with this equipment tend to get a
little..touched, if they use them too often.
Galactic Inspectors
mythic
While it appears to be a simple diagnostic tool, Targari lore
claims that use of this device allows a gecko to see into the
"heart and soul" of their engine. Some claim to be able to use
it to communicate in special ways with their ship.
Mythic Helmet
Viral Intruder
mythic
Pet spider-crickets are sometimes kept by racers when they find

Spectral Companion
mythic
Some geckos are haunted by the memories of lives that were lost

rid of these...but now that the warrior age is over,
superstitions have changed, and finding a gecko trained in the
ancient arts of the gecko shamans is nearly impossible.
Mythic Ears
Miniature Geckos
mythic
Sometimes you get stuck with babysitting duty.
Lunar Squid
mythic
These creatures can communicate telepathically. It is very rare
for them to find a gecko they like, but when they bond with one,
they're a friend for life.
Mythic Body
Ghostly White
mythic
Geckos with albinism are said to have ancestry from a tribe
that lived deep underground, in the caverns of their origin

kinds of rumors about their abilities: for instance, that they
could commune with spirits, or even speak with the stars
themselves, when they cared to leave the underground.
Spectral Black
mythic
Melanistic geckos don't often hatch. In the warrior age, they
were raised as shamans from birth. Superstition still surrounds
them: now they're considered blessed by the stars.
Mythic Mouth

this way, flying close enough to snag a bit of a wormhole is a
feat worthy of displaying on any gecko's armor.

piece of it comes back with you. These geckos are considered
blessed.
Ultra Body
Neon Green

with the gecko origin planet's home star. No matter how far away
they are, thermal activity on the surface of the sun is mirrored
on the gecko's ever-shifting skin.
Ultra Mouth
Augmented
ultra
Common among Barada racers and any gecko that likes
hand-to-hand combat. These are expensive modifications and come
at a risk of mild but chronic pain, but some geckos think it's
worth it.
