The '''Salvage Arm''' is a noncombat system which is used for purposes of handing ammunition, repairs, and salvage. The arm itself has a highly dexterous, light manipulator which is not reinforced for physical attacks. There are two types of Salvage Arms: [['Mech]] scale and suit scale. It was originally developed strictly to be used on [[IndustrialMechs]] and it can be used on BattleMechs. It was later developed into being used on smaller industrial robotic suits such as [[Exoskeleton|Exoskeletons]]. == History == The ''Salvage Arm'' is ancient technology, where the technology was first developed circa the year [[2000]].<ref>''TechManual'', p. 248, "Salvage Arm" - year of development listed.</ref> It was developed further for use with exoskeletons in [[2415]], by the [[Terran Hegemony]].<ref>''TechManual'', p. 260, "Manipulators" - Salvage arms listed as manipulator size equipment was developed in [[twenty-fifth century]].</ref> == Capabilities == === 'Mech scale Salvage Arm === The Salvage Arm can lift cargo for short periods of time, but it is not designed for long-term lifting cargo like the [[Lift hoist]] or Hand Actuators. It can be used to load ammunition into various vehicles, BattleMechs, and other equipment.<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 213, "Rearming under fire": the arm is listed as something that can be used for rearming equipment</ref> === Suit-scale Salvage Arm === This is a multitool device found on Industrial grade exoskeletons and battlefield recovery suits. The arm has a clamp-like hand/manipulator and cutting tools. This device is noted as being useless in combat situations, but excels in salvage and recovery.<ref>''TechManual'', p. 260: Salvage arms are for exosuits/power armor/battle armor and their capacities</ref> == Notes == * In ''[[TechManual]]'', the article for Salvage Arm notes further uses for the salvage arm would be detailed in the then-upcoming ''[[Tactical Operations]]'' manual, which contains Advanced rules. However, other than the entry above, no entry in that manual features any further function for the salvage arm. == Rules == <div class="gamerules"> === Game Rules === 'Mech scale salvage arms may only be used on BattleMechs and IndustrialMechs. Exoskeleton manipulator type size salvage arms can be used on all types of biped 'suits. In Standard Game rules, it serves no purpose. However, it can be used in when conducting physical combat when need be. When used, it is treated as having no hand actuator, subjected to the penalties of a handless arm. When using the optional rules found in the Tactical Operations book, the arm can be used to assist in loading ammunition while under combat conditions during a game<ref>''Tactical Operations'', p. 213, "Rearming under fire": the salvage arm can be used to load ammunition while using advanced optional rules</ref> When equipping a 'Mech to have a salvage arm, the 'Mech's hand actuator is replaced by it. Suit-sized salvage arms remain operational as long as the suit is not destroyed or the trooper is not killed. </div> == References == <references /> == Bibliography == *''[[Tactical Operations]]'' *''[[TechManual]]'' [[Category: Equipment]] [[Category: Technology]]
