I've started getting a handle on the Star Wars AU Septic bois and it makes me happy! I’ve been changing quite a few things from my original plans for it, but they’re all coming together really nicely imo <3

uh...it’ll be under the cut because it got long ^^”

some things may still change, but for now this is what I’ve got!

Chase

Chase’s species is Bothan and he’s a smuggler, though he doesn’t actually use the term “smuggler,” himself. Literally everyone else does for him, but hey. His crew consists of three droids (Bolt, Beeper, and Slink) and two Corellian hound littermates (Kye and Sophe). He tends to prefer the presence of droids over people. Originally the only Septic he knew was Anti because he had a bounty on him for dodging payments, but he later met Marvin and Sam by chance and they’ve been friends since.

He was adopted by an Ithorian couple as an infant. His parents had a tendency to take in orphans, so Chase has five other siblings with only one of them being their parents’ biological kid. From oldest to youngest his other siblings are a brother (Ithorian, the biological kid), sister (Twi’lek), sister (Nautolon), Chase, brother (Quaran), brother (Human). I don’t have names figured out for his siblings yet, but his Twi’lek sister is married and has two kids; she lives on Ryloth, so if he ever mentions going there it’s probably to visit her. Their parents used to live in Coruscant’s lower levels, so they knew infants/toddlers wouldn’t last long on their own before they were picked up by someone undesirable, so they took it upon themselves to adopt these kids. As such, Ithorese is actually Chase’s native language and he doesn’t know any Bothese, and he has kind of an odd accent paired with throaty/growly way of speaking.

He stayed neutral throughout the war, smuggling for whatever side offered the best pay for the job. He tends to be indifferent toward former Imperials/Rebels after the war and gets annoyed when Jackie and Jameson fight.

Marvin

Marv’s species is Cathar, which is a feline humanoid. He’s also a Mandalorian and one of two survivors of Clan Magniif. He’s extremely protective of Sami (”Sam”), the other survivor from his clan and holds a grudge against both Rebels and Imperials for the deaths of their people. He only knew Sam and Angus (leader of a rival clan) to start off, then later met Chase by chance. Didn’t like him at first, but the smuggler quickly grew on him.

He was found in a destroyed Cathar settlement as a toddler, so Magniif’s leader took him in as a foundling. He was raised by Mandalorian customs as one of the clan’s own and remains loyal to it even after its destruction. He’s also extremely impulsive and thinks with his fists instead of his head.

During the war, Magniif tried to stay out of things, but was eventually talked into helping a Rebel cell. That resulted in the Empire making an example of them and wiping out most of the clan. After the war, he and Sam take whatever odd jobs they can for supplies or credits.

Jackie

Full name Sehnaj’akk’eedara, Jackie’s a Chiss, which look mostly human besides blue or silver skin, blue/black/silver hair, and glowing red eyes (Jackie has blue skin with darker blue hair). He’s known for being reckless and protective to the point of risking his own health.

While more typical of his people to be Empire or non-aligned, he agreed with the Rebels’ standpoint and joined them with no questions asked. It did take them a while to start trusting him, but he was eventually granted his own Y-Wing and made part of a squadron of fighters. Because Chiss weren’t known for being part of the rebellion, there were a few instances that Jackie was sent to sneak into Imperial territory to steal something or tell his comrades how best to attack an outpost.

Primarily though, he was a pilot during the war who protected Rebel supply ships. After it ended, he became a data courier for info too sensitive to be sent over transmissions. That’s how he met Jameson and Schneep, then eventually Chase, Marvin, and Sam.

Also, fun fact: He saw Vader in his TIE once and flipped out about it for days after because “Oh my god I could have DIED” if his squad leader hadn’t ordered an immediate retreat.

Jameson

A Human from Coruscant, Jameson had once been a politician’s right hand. He was known for blackmailing the senator’s opponents and doing shady business with bounty hunters, but nothing could ever be proved to pin the charges on him.

When he joined the Empire, he started as a spy, then a hacker, then eventually was granted an officer’s rank and took charge of a small espionage group. While only a low-ranking officer, Jameson (JSE-815) and his team often had their stations changed to whatever outpost or battle cruiser needed their aid. After his promotion, he rarely went on the field himself for spying and instead stayed behind to work at computers with his hackers.

During a Rebel raid on an outpost he was stationed at, Jameson ended up taking charge of the troopers when the colonel was gone (he’d taken a large group of troopers to attack the Rebels’ base, which turned out to be something they’d planned, and left the outpost ill-protected). Only having experience leading espionage, Jameson’s tactics were quickly overwhelmed and he and a few others ended up cornered in the command room. In a last-ditch effort to protect the information in the computers from falling into enemy hands, he and the remaining Imperials detonated grenades to destroy the information completely. Jameson hadn’t expected to survive; he received damage to his neck and now uses a vocoder to speak, lost three limbs (both legs, right arm), and received internal damage that required organ replacement. Shortly after the event, he also got an AJ^6 to improve his productivity, though at the consequence of affecting/limiting his personality.

After the Empire lost the war, he was sent to Sunspot Prison. He was later released a few years later under strict parole to aid Jackie with a mission that needed a hacker. He’s not fond of his current companions, but at least he’s not in a cell.

Schneep

Schneep (SN-334) is a modified surgical droid and was built shortly before the Battle of Geonosis and purchased as a Republic droid. He started out with a very flat personality as programmed in the factory that built him, but the more his owner joked with him and encouraged him to think for himself, the more he started to develop his own personality. He quickly latched onto sarcasm and grumpiness. His owner found it hilarious. His patients...not so much.

Throughout the Clone Wars, he’d receive a tweak here, an upgrade there, until it eventually came to the point it was hard to tell what his base model was (2-1B surgical droid), and sometimes even unclear whether or not he was actually a surgical droid. His programming was even modified to allow him to defend his patients if they were in danger (big no-no and cancelled the warranty on him). The first time he sawed a B1 battle droid’s head off was certainly a shock--to both the other droid and his patient.

After his original owner was killed in the war, he ended up passed around a lot, eventually somehow found himself under a Rebel general, then an intelligence gatherer after the war. So he somehow survived not one, but two wars and has never even had a memory wipe.

Now carrying a piece of the divided information Jackie and Jameson need to deliver, he was sent with them. It wasn’t until eventually meeting Chase that Schneep was finally given a name instead of being called by his serial number.

Anti

Anti Septik is a bounty hunter of unknown species and planetary origin (though is believed to be a Rattataki from what glimpses of his skin have been seen). He wears a full suit of armor to hide his identity, and uses a universal translator to hide both his voice and accent. He’s ruthless, can find ways to track a contract down no matter where they go, and seemingly can’t die. A former partner claims she saw a target nearly cut Anti’s head off, but he got right back up and started shooting.

Nothing is known of his past, but any hunters who’ve worked with him before refuse to do so again. He’s greedy and bloodthirsty; if a target is wanted dead or alive, he’ll kill them every time whether they’re ready to surrender or not, and has killed partners to get their half of the earnings, too.

He has a green lightsaber that he stole from the body of a Jedi killed in one of the Temples after Order 66. He uses it more for show, keeping it hanging at his hip most of the time, but knows how to use it if he needs it.

I don’t have much on Angus or Sam yet (besides they’re both Human and Mandalorians, and that Sam lost an eye during a training bought), and I’d like to add Jacques and at least some Ipliers. However, the only one I have any ideas for is Host; the rest I’ll have to figure out!

Captain Billotte’s Wild Ride,

When one typically envisions German tanks of World War II, one typically thinks of giant steel behemoths such as the Tiger tank or perhaps the Panther tank. However, German heavy tanks weren’t really all that common until later in the war, in fact they really weren’t all that common at all. In the beginning of the war, German tanks were heavily outclassed by their Allied counterparts, especially by French and later Soviet heavy tanks. During the Invasion of France, most German tanks were either Panzer I, II, or III models, the heavier Panzer IV and Panzer 38(t) not being fielded in large numbers.

Overall Allied tanks tended to have thicker armor and bigger guns. The Germans were able to defeat Allied tank forces through superior tactics and war doctrine, the radio being a more potent piece of equipment than guns and armor., something which Allied tanks woefully lacked. However there were instances when the weaknesses of German tanks became glaringly obvious.

One such incident occurred on the 16th of May, 1940 at the village of Stonne during the invasion of France. Stonne was an important strategic point on the way to Sedan, thus over the past few days heavy fighting had occurred over the village, resulting in the town changing hands no less than seventeen times. On the morning 16th the French conducted a counterattack against German positions with infantry attacking from the south and tanks attacking from the west.

At the head of the French tanks was Captain Pierre Billotte, in command of a Char B1-bis heavy tank nicknamed “Eure”. The Char B1-bis was one of those monster tanks that gave the German’s much grief during the invasion of France, with 60mm frontal armor, a 47mm gun mounted in the turret, and a 75mm gun mounted in the chassis, it pretty much outclassed everything the Germans had in their tank arsenal.

When facing larger Allied tanks German tanks would typically try to outmaneuver and outflank their opponents, attacking the weaker side and rear armor. However the German’s had their tanks lined up in a row along the main street of the town, and thus were trapped. Captain Billotte and his crew charged right into the town, blasting each tank one by one as they charged down the street. The German tanks opened fire, but each and every round bounced of the B1′s thick frontal armor. Capt. Billotte and his tanks exited the town to the east, popping two German anti tank guns on the way out. When the smoke had cleared, Capt. Billotte and his crew had destroyed two Panzer IV tanks, eleven Panzer III tanks, and two anti tank guns. During the battle, the Char B1-bis “Eure” had sustained 140 hits.

The German’s eventually took Stonne on May 25th, bring forth larger anti tank guns to drive off the French tanks. Capt. Pierre Billotte was captured by the German’s, though he later escaped and served with the Free French forces throughout the remainder of the war. After the war he became Assistant Chief of Staff of The French Army, and later headed the French Military Mission to the UN. In his post military career he served in many political positions. He passed away in 1992.

I want to know all of the star wars asks, but I don't think you'd appreciate them all at once... so 1-10? or all, I don't mind :)

@ct-hardcase also asked me for some of these, so here goes. Sorry it’s late! Long post, so it’s under the cut.

1. Favourite Star Wars movie? (Episode 1-R1)Episode III: Revenge Of The Sith

2. Favourite Star Wars era? Rise Of The Empire, but I’ve recently been getting into the Empire (19BBY-0ABY) a lot.

3 Favourite Star Wars trilogy? (Originals, Prequels, Sequels)Look, I love them all, but I’ll have to say Prequels, even though it’s pretty even, because I have a lot of nostalgic memories attached to them.

4. Jedi or Sith? I think Sith, from the point of view that I love learning about them and their history and doctrines. The Jedi are super interesting too, especially when delve deep into the political aspect of the Order. Idk, they’re both interesting in different ways.

5. Empire or Rebellion?Well, if you’d asked me this a few years ago I would have said Empire without hesitation, but now that I know and care more about the Galactic Civil War era, I have to say Rebellion.

6. Bounty Hunter or Clone/Strom/First order Trooper? CLONE TROOPERS!

7. Rebels or Clone wars? Clone Wars

8. Favourite Star Wars book?I must confess, I haven’t read many Star Wars books; of those I have, I’d probably say Aftermath: Empire’s End?

9. Favourite Star Wars Comic? I’ve never actually read any of the comics

10. Favourite Star Wars game? Star Wars: Battlefront 2 (the original from 2005, obviously). What an iconic game. I wish I still had a working PS2 to play it on, because I will never ever be bored of it. Empire At War is a close second, I really wish they had done a Clone Wars era edition of it.

11. Top 5 favourite female Jedi?Ahsoka Tano (who is not a Jedi anymoer and I strongly support that decision)Shaak TiAayla SecuraRey SkywalkerDepa Bilaba

12. Top 5 favourite male Jedi?Obi-Wan KenobiLuke SkywalkerQui-gon JinnKit FistoPlo Koon,

13. Top 5 favourite Bounty Hunters?Jango FettAsajj VentressJas EmariEmboBoba Fett

14. Top 5 favourite Sith?Darth MaulDarth SidiousAsajj VentressDarth VaderDarth Bane

19. Top 5 favourite Separatist/Imperial shipsRecusant-Class Light Destroyer (CIS)Imperial I-Class Star Destroyer (GI)TIE-series Starfighters (GI)Lucrehulk-Class Battleship (CIS)Providence-Class Star Dreadnought (CIS)

20. Top 5 favourite planets? NabooGeonosisCoruscantKashyyykMandalore

21. Where would you live in the Star Wars universe?Naboo, no question

22. Who would you be in the Star Wars universe?In terms of occupation, I think I’d be happy as a public official on Naboo tbh, nothing too fancy, but high enough to go travelling as part of diplomatic entourages.

23. What ship would you own?I think I would like to own nice Naboo yacht, something like what Padme had at the start of Episode II; otherwise, something reliable and reasonably comfortable, like a Corellian light freighter or similar. A customised Sheathipede class shuttle or Lambda class shuttle would be nice too.

24. What Droid would you own?I’m not sure that I’d own a droid, but I guess they’re useful so probably an astromech or a repurposed OOM-series or B1 battledroid.

25. Would you have a team, or would you work alone? Well, ideally I’d love to have a team of friends that I could trust and keep me company.

26. If you where a Jedi, would you be a Knight or a Master?I think I’d be a Knight. My disdain for the Council and their dogmatic doctrines would make them disinclined to grant me the rank of master, I should think.

27. If you where a Jedi Master, would you have a Padawan?Maybe? I doubt it, but alternatively I might be able to give them a better, more honest and open view of the galaxy than a more orthodox master.

28. If you where a Sith, would you be the Master or Apprentice? Oh, the apprentice for sure. I don’t have it in me to be a Sith master; I wouldn’t be a very good Sith. I mean, I can see myself using the Dark Side maybe, but I would never subscribe to the Sith Creed or doctrines.

29. If you where a Sith Lord, would you have an Apprentice?No, given that the Rule Of Two dictates that the apprentice only becomes master by killing theirs.

30. Married, in a relationship, or single? Well, it’d be lovely to have a hubby or two, but you know, that’s down to the circumstances. I wouldn’t actively avoid or search for relationships, though.

31. Top 5 favourite species?GeonosiansZabrakWookiesTwi’leksMon Cala

32. What species would you be? Probably human tbh.

33. What species is your type? Uhhhhh………that’s an interesting question. Do Mandalorians count as a species? But that’s just because of Jango and the clones. Maybe Nautolans?

34. Who would your best friend be?I don’t know, I’ve never thought about this sort of thing.

35. Would you customise your ship? Someone who I trust, because I’m not very good at mechanics and engine things. If I’m honest, I probably wouldn’t customise at all.

36. Would you customise your Droid? Again, someone I trust and who knows their stuff.

37. What colour skin/eyes would you have?I really have no idea. Given I haven’t even thought about being a different species, I think I’ll have to pass on this one.

38. If male, beard or no beard?Beard if I can. Love facial hair.

39. 1 lightsaber, 2 lightsabers, double lightsaber, or 2 double lightsabers?Look, I’d love to go for double lightsabre (sabrestaff), but I would probably end up killing myself with it, so I think in reality I would keep it safe with a single sabre.

40. What colour would your lightsaber(s) be?BLUE! Even though in Legends canon (and possibly current canon?) blue represents a warrior, someone who about taking action, whilst green represents thinking and analysing (which is more me). I’ve also been told by online quizzes that I should have orange, but no thanks.

41. If you’re a Bounty Hunter, what armour would you have? Phase 1 Clone armour with kama, pauldron, and all that jazz.

42. Would you customise your armour? Definitely. Gotta look snazzy.

43. What colour scheme would your armour/robes be? I’m not sure. I think white, green, and blue would look good. Although, I might go for white, purple, and black.

44. If you where a Droid, what Droid would you be? I mean, I’d like to be something intelligent but also powerful and capable of looking after itself. Maybe a super tactical droid?45. What colour would your droid self be? Purple, blue, yellow…those sorts of colours I guess.

46. Pod racing or ship racing? I don’t have a death wish, so ship racing.

47. Space battle or ground battle?? Ooh, that’s a tough question. In Star Wars there are lots of cool things about both, but I’ll go with space, because I think my naval strategy would be a little better than my surface strategy, and it’s easier to escape if it all goes tits up.

48. Would you have survived order 66?Almost certainly not.

49. Where would you go after order 66? Probably a small, peaceful world on the edge of the known regions (if I could find one)

50. What would you do after order 66? Probably just hide, maybe try to resist if I encountered a rebel cell. I think these are the sorts of things that people always say “well, this is what I would have done”, but noone really knows exactly how they’ll react until they’re actually in these situations.

51. Do you have any Star Wars Pop Vinyls?Yes! I have a Queen Amidala one.

52. Do you have any Star Wars collections?I have a lot of Star Wars Lego.

53. Do you have any Star Wars art? I have some BTS prints from Episode V and Episode VI, otherwise no.

54. Do you create any Star Wars art?Nope, can’t draw at all, never really been interested that much in the visual arts. I used to try to copy the technical drawings in Incredible Cross Sections when I was a kid though.

55. Do you like/read any Legends/non canon stuff? I loved the young Boba Fett books (the ones that took place between Episodes II and III), and I loved the storyline of Battlefront II until Disney decanonised it. There’s also a lot of non-canon information in Incredible Cross Sections that was super fascinating. Having said this, I still support the decision to redo the EU canon and clean it up, because imo there was way too much crap in the EU that was just plain rubbish.

56. Top 5 favourite Legends character? I’m sorry, I don’t know enough for this.

57. Who is your Star Wars role model? It has to be Padmé Amidala. She is resilient, skillful, intelligent, principled, and compassionate. When I was a kid I used to pretend to be her.

58. Top 5 saddest Star Wars deaths? The entire Order 66 sequence in ROTSFivesSatine KryzePadmé AmidalaHan Solo

59. If you could bring any Star Wars character back to life who would it be? Padmé Amidala

60. If you found out the Star Wars universe was real, would you move there or stay here? Stay here, obviously. Have you watched Star Wars?! Sith, pirates, bounty hunters, crime lords, totalitarian regimes, corporations that have official political representation and own entire planet systems?! I think I’ll stay put, thanks.

61. On a scale of 1-10 (1 being very little, 10 being an absolute know it all) how well do you know the Star Wars universe? 8.5, maybe a 9?

I hope those answers were satisfactory! Thanks for the asks!

The Ultimate Deal On Civilian Armored Vehicles

Civilian armored vehicles are hardy automobiles that promise high levels of security. Now more than ever before, it has become paramount to put our personal safety first especially with continued violence on the streets, random terrorist attacks as well as in increase in social injustice. With widespread violence across the globe, the alarming safety issues not only affects the rich and famous but also politicians, executives, heads of state and diplomats. It is no wonder why the armored vehicle industry is experiencing a growth influx.

The misconception about armored vehicles

They are for military use only

When most people think of armored vehicles the first thing that comes to mind is the military. What they don’t know however, is that civilian armored vehicles do exist. In fact, research shows that a large number of highly acclaimed armored vehicles such as trucks, vans, cars and the likes are actually manufactured for civilian use.

They are not affordable

Civilian armored vehicle that have lighter protection are known to be more affordable and accessible as well for the everyday person. These automobiles offer just as much protection against rounds both at farther distance and point blank ranges. To make it even more affordable, you can opt to customize a sued chassis instead of buying one that was made from scratch. Despite your armoring level, modifying your regular car to an armored beast can still offer all the critical horizontal and vertical protection you want your car to provide.

Who needs a civilian armored vehicle?

Generally, armored vehicles are used by people who feel like they are in constant threat or risk such as government officials, news reporters, celebrities, business tycoons and people residing or moving in conflict or war zones. Entrepreneurs, politicians and other people who can afford the hefty price of armored vehicles usually opt for them. Civilian vehicles that have been modified and converted into armored automobiles are often improvised and used by irregular forces or even militias.

Such vehicles are also used to transport money and other valuables from one place to another since armored cars tend to work as a safeguard against cargo and good high jacking or highway robbery.

Types of civilian armored vehicles

There exists an industry stigma that armored vehicles are quite expensive thus being out of reach of the everyday person. However, this is not true since there exist different types of armored cars some of which can be affordable to civilians thus ensuring them piece of mind while travelling. Here are some of the types of civilian armored vehicles:

Armored Vans

Armored SUVs

Armored Sedans

Armored Land Cruisers

Armored Personnel Carriers

Armored used vehicles

Cash In Transit/ Bullion

Armored Trucks

Special Purpose Vehicles

These types of vehicles are either retrofitted versions of Series cars or they are manufactured in the factory. It only takes about two weeks to convert an ordinary car to an armored civilian vehicle. This involves a labor intensive process where the car’s windows are replaced with bulletproof glass and the exterior body of the car is fitted layers of armor under it. In most cases, the vehicle’s external appearance is left as it originally were to ensure that the changes made are inconspicuous.

Why are civilian cars armored?

Just like military vehicles, civilian vehicles are armored for the same reason which is to withstand an attack be it shells, bullets, shrapnel or missiles. However, there are some types of armored vehicles such as light armored vehicles that serve to fulfil ad hoc fashion interests. At present, there is also this new trend of using transparent armor for cars. This is made possible by using a special type of glass armor.

Aside from the armor, civilian armored cars are also fitted with a variety of other protective paraphernalia including the following:

Siren or alarm system

Temperature regulations and pressure control systems

Explosion resistant fuel tank

Run-flat tires

Fire extinguishers

Remote starting system

Intercom incorporation between the interior and exterior of the vehicle

All these things and more are fitted to provide the future owner of the automobile with enhanced safeguard. Therefore, there is no denying that armored cars can serve much civilian interest too. They especially come in handy it times of terrorism and strife since they assure a high security level. After everything is said and done however, we must not forget that the excessive use of armor does restrict mobility. Therefore, consider getting one that is armored only to the extent that is necessary since it will also make it more aesthetically appealing as well.

A civilian armored vehicle vs a regular vehicle

At present, there are more than 100,000 civilian armored vehicles on the roads across the globe. Over the past 20 years, civilian armored cars have gone from looking like big tanks to including electric cars and other family-friendly options. Unlike military armored cars, civilian armored vehicles are designed to blend in are remain as inconspicuous as possible. In fact, at first glance, they look quite similar to regular civilian cars. So here are some of the features that make civilian armored cars different from regular cars.

Ballistic glass

The glass used to make civilian armored cars is slightly different from that used on a regular car off the lot. The main windows, windshield and rear window and are made from a mixture of polycarbonate substrate and leaded glass which allows them to absorb energy from attacks and other assaults without breaking. Normally, the glass is about one to three inches thick and must be reinstalled completely.

Robust tires and bumpers

The bumpers on civilian armored cars are expected to run through just about anything. This is because the main aim for manufacturing the car is to ensure that in case there is a dangerous event, the vehicle can get all its occupants to safety. This includes tires that can maintain their normal function even if they get a puncture and bumpers that can withstand repeated impact.

A steel frame that is heavy duty

One of the first things that is added to the frame of an armored car making it different from a regular car is ballistic-grade steel. In turn, this makes the vehicle’s body vastly different from that of a typical car. In fact, the whole frame of an armored vehicle is covered in tempered steel and then applies to the frame like a jigsaw puzzle without leaving any gaps. By doing so, manufacturer ensure that remodelled cars are able to maintain their shape while at the same time gain a higher level of security.

Rebuilt mechanics

Because of the added weight of both glass and steel, civilian armored vehicles are often equipped with modified brakes, engine and suspension components for the sole purpose of hauling the armor. Once it is fully outfitted, this means that driving your newly armored car will feel different.

So, the next time you are on the road and wondering if the car next to you is armored or not, you now have the tell-tale signs to know the difference. There are high chances though that you have already shares the road with more than one civilian armored car.

How can a regular car be armored?

Customizing both old and new models of cars, SUVs, trucks and vans is not impossible. It starts with the basic which is bullet proffing the windows as well as other parts of the car such as the tires, floor, engine and panels. Other things that can be done to upgrade your regular car to an armored vehicle and ensure protection include the following:

Installing smoke screens

Equipping the vehicle with mobile communications capabilities

Door overlap protection

Ron-flat tire systems

Upgraded brake and suspension systems

The difference between armor levels in civilian armored cars

One thing you need to know if you’re considering to buy a civilian armored vehicle is that not all of them are created the same. If you’re ready to purchase one, the first step you should take is deciding what level of protection is ideal for you. The level of protection you need can be determined by the following factors:

How you will be using the car (will it be used for day-to-day activities or tactical purposes?)

Your budget (i.e. cost of the car)

Ballistic protection levels

The purpose of a ballistic protection level is to tell you the level of assault the car can withstand or just how much security a certain level of armor can offer you. Here are some of the common ballistic protection levels:

B1-B2

These two classes are capable of withstanding a 9mm. however, they are rarely employed within armored automobiles

B3-B4

These two classes can withstand assault from handguns, sporting rifles and generally guns that have a lower bullet velocity and are shot at close distance such as a .44 Magnum or .357 Magnum.

This class provides protection from assault weapons such as AK-47s. It requires a ballistic steel-thickness of at least 7.5mm.

Having a higher level of security than the ones mentioned above, this rating is meant to stop armor piercing rounds. The B6 is among the most popular protection level since it is not complicated to implement while adding a huge security advantage

This is the strongest protection that is often offered. It stops a number of armor piercing rounds ranging from extra high-velocity rifles to even sniper rifles. In many cases, this is the highest level of protection that is fitted within civilian-grade armored vehicles. However, special purpose cars that can and more often than not, do accommodate higher levels of protection.

Keep in mind that you need to find a happy median when selecting the protection level of your car since more armor equals more weight. If the performance of your car is inhibited to a point where escape in times of danger becomes difficult, then no amount of armor will be beneficial to you.

How much does it cost to get your car bulletproof?

As mentioned earlier, you can either buy a civilian armored vehicle that was made from scratch or get your own car remodelled and modified to offer the protection you need. Now, if you are looking for bulletproof car price then you’re in the right place. The cost of bullet-proofing is dependent on a number of variable including the type of car you want bullet-proofed, the level of protection you need and the company you choose for the job. Ideally, the cost of bullet-proofing your car could range anywhere between $10,000 an $100,000.

Individual factors that play a role in the overall cost of bullet-proofing your car

Here are some of the factors that play a significant role in the overall amount you will pay to get your car bulletproof.

Windows

Bullet proofing the windows of your car is one of the first steps to ensuring your safety while on the road. However, you first need to decide what level of protection you need for your windows if you’re looking to protect yourself from bullets, shells or any other materials that can penetrate your windows.

Tires

This is where you will spend the least amount of money when bullet proofing. When it comes to bullet proofing tires, there are a number of options you can choose from that will ensure your car is not stopped by bullets or spike strips. They will ensure that you get away no matter what.

Floor

Bullet proofing the floor of your car is also essential since you also need protection from grenades or bombs that might be placed underneath your car. Similar to tires, there are also a number of ways to re-enforce the floor of your vehicle.

Panels and gas tank

Another part of your car that needs to be protected from bullets is the panels. With this knowledge, you can decide whether you want to protect particular panels or all panels. You also need to decide on the level of protection you need when doing so. At present, there are only a few companies offering protection against the penetrating force of a 0.5 caliber.

Engine

You might be in very big trouble should a bullet penetrate the engine of your car, this is the reason you need to bulletproof it. Having the right engine bullet protection may potentially save your life.

Reasons your business should invest in an armored truck

In the recent years, the clientele for armored trucks has increased leading to the overall sales of armored vehicles. Aside from transporting cash and jewelry, these type of cars are also used to ferry around important machines and equipment. If you are running a business that does either of the aforementioned, here are reasons why investing in an armored truck can be beneficial.

Whether your business is big or small, it can still benefit a lot from using an armored truck. Protection however, still remains the primary benefit since your employees won’t have to worry about their security and protection as well as that of the valuable goods, documents or even individuals that they will be transporting.

All you need to do is pick what you want and the vehicle comes with a driver (for most cases) who is already fully trained to help you escape dangerous situations such as ab encounter with armed thugs. Even though a bit expensive, renting or leasing a bulletproof vehicles start at a much more sane figure and are definitely worth the risk of not getting robbed or shot at.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3: Box

The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 comes in a box with the following dimensions: 19.80 x 9.60 x 4.80 cm and has a weight of 0.449 kg, in other words, we are dealing with an average package when it comes to these types of products and finally, within it, we will find the following:

1x USB cable

1x User’s manual

Xiaomi Mi Max 3: Design

The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is outlined with a classic design, which is devoted to elegance, so it manages to present a refined and harmonious device, one of its key points being the range of colors that it offers, reaching to delight us with 3 options, black, pink and blue, 3 variants that can fit perfectly anywhere regardless of the occasion, whether at work or at home. On the other hand, it is undeniable that this Smartphone has huge dimensions, which tend to surpass by far one of the most famous Smartphones of the moment, we are talking about the iPhone X. Next, we will present a comparative image of both teams:

As you can see, the Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is positioned on the right side and it stands out for being 17 centimeters long, 8.74 centimeters wide, 0.80 centimeters thick and has a weight of 0.221 kg, exceeding in everything to the last represents the Apple. Now, the latter may well represent both an advantage and a disadvantage, the first of which allows us to comfortably enjoy video games, videos, and photos through its widescreen, but in the background, it may be uncomfortable to manipulate with one hand, although the latter will depend on each user.

As for its bottom, we will place a micro USB port type C next to the speakers, which are distributed both on the left and right side.

In the upper part, we will find the 3.5mm headphone input, while on the right side we will have the volume and on/off buttons. And finally, in the back we will appreciate more carefully the materials with which this Smartphone was manufactured, being the largest volume, the aluminum alloy, which gives this beauty an incredible and resistant texture, even withstand impacts , falls and scratches, but nothing that is exaggerated, since we are not dealing with a ruggedized Smartphone.

On the other hand, IPS technology plays an important role, since it allows us to enjoy colors much more vivid and clear thanks to avoiding the loss and leakage of light, a problem that tends to degrade the darker colors with the passage weather. We must also add that it covers 79.8%from the front and although it continues to present somewhat thick bevels, we must admit that its large size is an advantage when it comes to enjoying the audiovisual content.

Now moving to the graphics card (GPU), we will enjoy an Adreno 509, which opens the way to running various games without showing falls in the FPS and an example of this is Honor of Kings, the addictive Moba that is conquering China and we know as Arena Of Valor.

At this point, if we appreciate a difference between both versions and they are in RAM and ROM, the first of these is with us in a 4GB / 64GB configuration , while the second is outlined with 6GB / 128GB . It should be noted that both options are expandable through a micro SD card of up to 256GB. And finally , we tested this beauty in 2 Benchmarks, AnTuTu and Geekbench, throwing in the first of these, a total score of 118.897, while the second is divided into 2 tests, Single Core and Multi Core, presenting respectively1319 points for the first and 4714 for the second.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3: Operating System

The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 opts for an operating system MIUI 9.5, which is based on the well-known free software of Google, Android 8.1 (Oreo). This interface stands out for its incredible fluidity, which responded quickly and smoothly, so it will be a wonder for users. Regarding your options, we will have the Google Play store, the ideal space to download as many applications as we want and in case we are interested in virtual reality, the Daydream store will be our answer and finally, we will enjoy the multi-window function, which will allow us to execute 2 applications simultaneously with the screen divided into 2.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3: Battery

The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 comes equipped with a non-removable lithium-ion polymer battery with a capacity of 5500mAh, which is slightly higher than the 5300mAh that accompany its previous version, although it is worth mentioning that the screen of this Smartphone is by much larger and therefore, consume more energy, to such a point, which was to last in continuous use about 17 hours, 1 hour less than its predecessor, which gave us a resistance of 18 hours, but apart from the aforementioned, This device has the fast charging technology of 18W 18, taking about 135 minutes in charging the entire battery, an acceptable time based on the great capacity it has.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3: Camera

The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 opts for a dual main camera of 12 megapixels and 5 megapixels respectively, it should be noted that it is accompanied by a LED Flash that greatly improves the quality of both photos and videos and among its most pressing functions we have the following:

Embellishment of faces

As for the front camera, we will have a resolution of 8 megapixels, which will be more than enough to take all the photos we want and finally, we will opt for the auto focus function to facilitate its use.

Xiaomi Mi Max 3: Wireless Connections

The Xiaomi Mi Max 3 is outlined in the standard when we refer to network connections, since the options that it offers us, are those that we will usually appreciate in any 4G Smartphone, which leaves us in an already known panorama, but not for that reason It will lose its charm.

Skin Complex RX Review: Don’t Buy Before You Read This!

What is it?

Skin Complex RX is an anti-aging skin cream that is designed to increase hydration levels and reduce the appearance of wrinkles and lines. Their advertising claims that their product has been shown to increase collagen production and help fade dark spots and skin discolorations. They say that their products smoothes out skin texture and evens skin tone, leaving users looking younger and healthier than they have in years.

Our experts believe that Kremotex is the best skin care product for most daily needs. It is a moisturizer, color corrector, and it helps repair the effects of aging and skin damage. Click here to see all of the ingredients in Kremotex’s blend.

Do You Know the Best Anti-Aging Creams of 2017?

Skin Complex RX Ingredients and Side Effects

Skin Complex RX does not publish their entire ingredients list anywhere on their website or in their advertising and promotional materials. They only mention in passing some of the additives in their blend, and those are:

QuSomes Wheat Proteins Vitamins and Antioxidants

QuSomes: Tiny microscopic spheres that bond with other skin care ingredients to facilitate fast, even absorption. QuSomes have no health or nutritional value themselves, they are a delivery agent that may help increase the effectiveness of other ingredients.

When QuSomes are mixed with other chemicals those ingredients bond to the tiny spheroidal molecules which have no problem penetrating the dense cellular structure of the skin and delivering their contents in a regularized way that helps ensure a more even distribution of the product amongst the skin cells.

QuSomes are still very new and there are no studies about their effectiveness aside from their manufacturer’s initial report. It is unclear what kind of an impact using QuSomes actually has on ingredient effectiveness, and it is also unclear what the long-term consequences of exposure to them may be.

There has never been even a five-year study performed about their safety as they have not been around for that long, though some scientists are skeptical about what the health effects of QuSome over accumulation may be. Currently there are no reports of any negative side effects related to QuSome usage.

Wheat Protein: A conditioner used in hair and skin products for its ability to bond with damaged skin and hair and make it appear healthy. This is a cosmetic effect and not an actual therapeutic or nutritional one.

Wheat proteins do contain some trace levels of vitamins A, D, E, and F, as well as B1, B2, B3, and B6. These are all useful chemicals in the collagen generation and skin renewal processes, however the levels found in most wheat proteins is fairly slight and not generally enough to rely on from a skin care standpoint.

Wheat proteins are an allergy risk for those individuals with coeliac’s disease or gluten sensitivities. When applied topically they have the potential to provoke histamine responses, nettle rash, and possibly even anaphylaxis. Individuals without pre-existing gluten sensitivities have not reported any negative side effects related to wheat protein.

Vitamins and Antioxidants: Skin Complex RX mentions that their skin cream contains both of these key skin care agents, however they do not specify of what type, in what quantities, or from what source. It is unclear if the vitamins that they mention are referring to the trace levels found in the wheat protein, or if the have added additional vitamins to make their blend more effective.

Antioxidants fight the sagging, dull skin that is caused by sun and environmental damage, however they can be derived from literally thousands of different sources. Green tea, citrus fruits, beans, chocolates, potatoes and nuts can all carry some amount of the free radical-fighting molecules. Wheat protein also contains some slight amount of antioxidants, but it would not be enough to rely on for a skin care blend.

Unless Skin Complex RX discloses their full ingredients list it is impossible to say how effective these vitamins and antioxidants may be, or even which users they may be unsafe for.

Follow this link for a complete list of the top brands of skin care products on the market.

EDITOR’S TIP: Combine this product with a proven anti-aging cream such as Kremotex for better results.

Skin Complex RX Quality of Ingredients

Our team does not recommend products that refuse to disclose their ingredients. There are too many unscrupulous manufacturers out there that use unfit products to just trust that any given blend will be both safe and effective for any given individual. The products that disclose all of their additives do so because they know that they are using quality ingredients and they want consumers to see that.

Companies that use simple alcohols, lye, and ammonia products try to hide that fact by not disclosing their contents and hoping that consumers will just overlook the fact that they don’t want people to know what is in their blend. Sadly, these companies’ faith in customers’ unwillingness to research what they put onto and into their bodies is frequently rewarded.

Just QuSomes and wheat proteins is not an acceptable ingredients blend for a skin care product. QuSomes have no value at all themselves and are only as useful as the chemicals that they are helping deliver. Wheat protein is mildly helpful to the people that do not react against it, however its mild effects will not show many tangible results.

Follow this link to find out which skin care products our experts rated the highest for color correction and blemish reduction.

The Price and Quality of Skin Complex RX

Skin Complex RX is sold online through Amazon and they also have several web pages that all tout their “free trial offer.” Through Amazon, Skin Complex RX for:

1, .5 fl oz jar of Skin Complex RX cream: $26.50

That is somewhat expensive for a product without any proven ingredients, however it is not far above average. The free trial offer, however, is much more complicated and usually results in customers paying far more than $26.50 per jar.

Signing up for the offer actually enrolls customers in their automatic payment program where they are shipped the same type of .5 fl oz jar each month. Instead of charging a similar or discounted rate, as most programs of this nature do, customers are instead billed $89.69 per jar. There is no reason given for this rate being over triple that of the Amazon price.

To see how the top brands of skin care products compare head-to-head, click here.

Business of Skin Complex RX

Skin Complex RX is part of an organization of skin care companies that all use similar promotional materials and marketing tactics. There are a number of different names given for the parent company of these smaller subsidiary brands including Dos Hermanos, Kiara Skin, and Skin Technologies. Skin Complex RX lists their manufacturer as Coal Cosmetics, and they offer this contact information for them:

Phone Number: (800) 958-5410

Address: 5404 Whitsett Ave #128

Valley Village, CA 91607

Email: [email protected]

There are hundreds of formal complaints that have been filed against Skin Complex RX and their associates with the Better Business Bureau and the Federal Trade Commission. There are quite a few customers that have threatened legal action against the group, however there is no evidence of any active cases against them at this time.

Follow this link for the most up-to-date ratings and reviews of the top skin care products on the market today.

EDITOR’S TIP: For the best results, our experts recommend using anti-aging creams for at least 3 months. Save your money by buying a few bottles at once.

Customer Opinions of Skin Complex RX

Online reviews from customers Skin Complex RX are exceptionally negative. There are quite a few people that feel like they were taken advantage of by the “free trial offer” and that are reporting on negative experiences with Skin Complex RX’s customer service team, and there are also a number of reports about the quality of the cream itself. Many of those were similar to these accounts:

“Letting this dry on my face felt like I had just walked into a bunch of spider webs – but at least those probably wouldn’t have made me break out like Skin Complex RX did.”

“Total scam! This is not a legit skin cream and I’m mad I even tried it.”

“Smells bad, looks bad, works bad.”

The most frequent complaint about the cream was that it did not moisturize, and many reports claimed that it dried skin out even further. Respondents also alleged that it caused redness, breakouts, and the growth of small fibrous nodes.

Conclusion – Does Skin Complex RX Work?

The most effective skin care products increase hydration levels, collagen production levels, and defend against UV rays and environmental damage. Skin Complex RX has not demonstrated that it does any of these things.

The most respected businesses charge a fair, upfront price for their products and do not try to deceive or manipulate their customers into making choices they would not if they had all of the information. Sadly, that seems to be the basis of Skin Complex RX’s business model.

Their customer service department is regularly accused of ignoring customers’ calls, being directly rude when the do make contact, and refusing to honor any of their refund promises. The FTC and the BBB have sent them formal cease-and-desist letters, and there are hundreds of angry posts from former customers on the pages of consumer watchdog groups like Ripoff Report and Consumer Help Desk.

Our team will not recommend a product that does not disclose its ingredients, and they prefer to recommend brands that are honest and straightforward in their dealings with customers.

Our panel of experts believes that Kremotex is the most effective skin care product that is available without a prescription. It uses stem cell technology and traditionally effective ingredients like shea nuts to provide core level wellness effects for the skin. Click here to see pictures of Kremotex’s results.
