Dynalar Aquarius

Dynalar Technologies "Aquarius" is full body conversion designed for use in underwater environments (both fresh and salt water), Aquarius is superior to any diving system. It is ideal for undersea exploration, mining, aquaculture, construction, and covert operations. Endorsed by the Cousteau Society, the U.S. Navy SEALS, the Hydrosubsidium and OTEC; Aquarius can operate underwater for up to 16 hours, and at depths up to 16,000 feet.

The Aquarius is built using corrosion-proof materials, and is waterproofed to protect all internal systems. The body is carefully weighted for neutral buoyancy (its density is equal to that of water), allowing easier maneuvering. Rather than using the standard oxygen cell, Aquarius employs a solid oxygen battery which must be recharged approximately every 16 hours. Its motive system forgoes standard myomar technologies, instead using a high-speed hydraulic system, which has fewer difficulties than myomars when submerged, and boasts a higher strength factor. Supplementing its normal locomotion, Aquarius has a set of miniaturized "caterpillar" drives for high-speed propulsion. These electromagnetic engines (manufactured by the Hydrosubsidium) charge and propel water through their lengths, granting high speed and energy efficiency with minimal audio signature or pollution.

To better function in the alien environment of the deepest waters, Aquarius has several specialized sensor systems. In addition to the standard audio-visual array, a powerful head-mounted Sonar system allows accurate ranging and detection out to 1km. Built into multipositionable housings in the shoulders are two 1,000,000 spotlights, capable of penetrating the murky depths up to 100m (depending on conditions). Communications is provided by a long-range, ULF multichannel radio link (range 50km) so that contact can be maintained with the surface and other units. For defense, Aquarius takes after the Electric Eel, being capable of charging its hull with a high-voltage electric current; no need to worry about shark attacks.

Sensor Options
Sonar - 1 km range. Note that if a full power Sonar pulse ("Ping") is directed at a human at close range (20m), the person must make a Stun Save at -2 or be deafened & disoriented for 1D6+3 full combat turns. This only works underwater. *2*

Spotlights - 100m range, varies depending on conditions. Note that when used at close ranges, can function in the way as a Dazzle grenade (blinds for 4 turns). This only works above water. *2*

Weapon Subsystems
Electrified Hull - A contact weapon which will do 1D6+2 in electrical burn damage and also requires a Stun Save at -3. This electrifies the entire surface of the Borg. *1*

Other Options
Caterpillar Drive - Maximum speed is 30mph (MA 1 5) underwater. Being electrically powered, these have no maximum range or duration. These only work underwater! *2*

Long-Range Radio - Range 50km, with 10 channels. *2*
