Scipio's Log: Entry 271.7B - It's time for an upgrade

"Since Count Dooku commissioned me to ensure my creation's battle-readiness, I have been hard at work developing new equipment for him to use. The recordings from the battles he has participated in have proven very useful. I have been examining his fighting style, analyzing the data available and have been making notes as to what may be improved upon or added to. There have been moments where I thought of weaponry that may have proven useful, in an instance where it had not been provided.

"Given our newfound favor with the Separatist Council, I have set about engineering such an arsenal. Above all, my designs and machinations require a rare mineral in order to be manufactured: phrik. A metal known for being both blaster-resistant and lightsaber-proof. It seemed good to me that a soldier of such profound capabilities, engineered to inspire fear, only be outfitted with the best armor and weaponry available.

"For the sake of this log, I shall provide a list of the armaments I wish to bestow upon my creation:

-A pair of KD-30 slugthrower pistols

-Two armored gauntlets, outfitted with computing components, forged from phrik

-Twin custom-built swords to be attached to the gauntlets, also forged from phrik

-Twin assassin grade wrist blades to be fitted under the gauntlets, also forged from phrik

-An array of throwing knives

-An array of explosive disks (the prototypes proved very useful on Geonosis)

-Twin grapnel launchers to be mounted on the exterior of the gauntlets

"All of this is to compliment his current arsenal: twin DE-20 heavy pistols, twin combat knives (forged from phrik) and BR8 series blaster carbine. I have seen much potential for his use of these weapons. When the day comes when his secret is made known (and I know it will) these weapons will help him carve through his enemies with ease.

"But before he can wear them, I must train him in the proper use of these tools. Some are pioneers in the way of melee combat, others have a long and honorable history of being reliable weapons. But one thing I am certain of is that once he masters this arsenal, he will truly be unstoppable!"
