Designer Notes
While the Silverscale variant of the Basilisk brought a certain amount of electronic warfare capability to the battlefield, the Jammer Silvercale was developed as a further step in that direction. Releaesd in TN 1857, the Jammer mostly involved a modification of the electronics package of the Silverscale. Compared to that variant, the Gear was combat-shy, having shed its Vogel-6 rocket pod in favor of a shoulder mounted electronic countermeasures pod. The Silverscale's target designator was also removed since it has little to do with the operational profile of the Jammer. Additional electronic warfare antennae were fitted to the outside of the Jammer's body, making it a visually dstinctive Gear. Together with the improved sensor and communications packages provided in the standard Silverscale, the Jammer was able to make a dangerous and effective electronic warrior out of the straightforward Basilisk. The Gear nonetheless had several important weaknesses, including the vulnerability of the shoulder-mounted electronic warfare pod to damage during combat. The offensive capabilities of the model were limited as well, making it difficult for the Gear to accompany an assault force.
