Energy Weapon Ammo

Energy Weapons operate using Standard Energy Units, stored in disposable, unrechargeable [[Powerclip| capacitor clips] that are easy to distribute, or in active-matrix storage devices (e.g. Power belt- and back-packs) that can be recharged.

Powerclips

The standard 20 SEU powerclip is a sturdy plastic box about the size of a cigarette pack. A powerclip will fit any weapon that can use a powerclip. Players must keep track of how many SEU are in the clip. Powerclips cannot be recharged.

Smaller powerclips are also available: 10 SEU Mini Powerclips and 2 SEU Micro Powerdiscs.

Power Beltpack

A power beltpack is a 20 cm x 8 cm x 5 cm plastic box that attaches to a character's belt. It comes with three different powercords that can be plugged into three distinct outlets in the side of the unit. One port is for weapons, one is for screens and one is for auxiliary equipment such as scanners or radios. Only one weapon and one screen can be plugged into a beltpack at the same time. Beltpacks can be recharged at a cost of 5 credits per 1 SEU recharged. Recharging can be done at any weapons shop, hardware store or fuel station.

Power Backpack

A power backpack is worn on a harness that slips over the shoulders. Special adapters are available for Dralasites at no additional cost. A backpack has two weapon ports, one screen port and three auxiliary ports. Only two weapons can be connected to the same backpack. Backpacks can be recharged for 5 credits per 1 SEU recharged. It takes two turns to plug in or unplug a powercord from a power backpack.
