Equipment Catalog

Eryxian Reclaimary Archive (ERA)

Catalog of Equipment, Weapons, Consumables, Upgrades, Artifacts, and Inventory Items

“The Reclaimary Archive was assembled from ERYX Initiative salvage logs, Conclave barter records, melted-down Collective scrap manifests, and the fragmented inventories of expeditions that never filed final reports. Every entry is provisional. The planet reclaims, repurposes, or rewrites what it touches.”

The Eryxian Reclaimary Archive (ERA) serves three simultaneous purposes:

1. World-building showcase — Readable by anyone exploring the Eryxian universe.
2. Rulebook reference — GM and player guide for gear, crafting, and loot.
3. Forge App database — Structured data for item generation, crafting recipes, and Metamorphosis interactions.

Unlike standard equipment catalogs, ERA entries treat every item as a system in the Eryxian context — technology that can be used, broken, upgraded, or appropriated by the planet itself.

What the ERA Catalog Is

Every item exists in tension between its original purpose and the Eryxian ecosystem. An item can be:

• Pristine (fresh from a dropship crate)
• Field-modified (player-crafted or jury-rigged)
• Reclaimed (Conclave-modified)
• Metamorphosed (partially or fully appropriated by the planet)

The Six Classification Axes for Items

Every ERA entry is described across six axes:

Axis 1 — ORIGIN CLASS
What produced or first designed the item?

Axis 2 — FUNCTIONAL NICHE

Axis 3 — SCALE TIER
Personal · Squad · Vehicle · Capital · Orbital

Axis 4 — INTEGRITY STATE

• Pristine
• Worn (minor penalties or flavor)
• Damaged (mechanical drawback)
• Metamorphosing (risk/reward)
• Fully Metamorphosed (new abilities + new dangers)

Axis 5 — TECH / BIOME RELATIONSHIP
How the item interacts with Eryxian biology, technology disruption, and Metamorphosis.

Axis 6 — ANCIENT / CHAOS CONNECTION
None · Vestigial · Active · Living Algorithm

Crafting System Outline

Eryxian Forge – Crafting Rules

Crafting uses Wits + Engineering (or relevant skill) against a TN set by complexity.

Crafting Tiers

• Tier 0 (Improvised): TN 4 – Field repairs, quick modifications
• Tier 1 (Standard): TN 6 – Combining common components
• Tier 2 (Advanced): TN 8 – Rare components + Forge Card
• Tier 3 (Artifact): TN 10+ – Ancient tech + Metamorphosis risk

Core Components

Components are harvested from creatures, ruins, or salvaged gear. Examples:

• Energy Cell (from TAM/Collective weapons)
• Neural Lattice (from Hydra, Spawn, etc.)
• Venom Sac (Nightsinger, Bloodfly Queen)
• Moult Shell (Bloodfly, Arthropoid creatures)
• Labyrinth Shard (Ancient connection)
• Morphic Tissue (Spawn line)

Basic Crafting Recipe Format

Recipe Name
Required Components:

• 2× Pulse Cell
• 1× Neural Lattice Fragment
• 1× Moult Shell

Skill Check: Wits + Engineering TN 7
Result (Full Success): [New Item] with [bonus effect]
Partial Success: Functional but with drawback (e.g., −1 Durability or Fragile)
Failure: Components damaged or trigger Metamorphosis on the workspace.

Metamorphosis Risk during Crafting:
If crafting in a high-biome or Labyrinth zone, roll on the Metamorphosis table. The item may gain unexpected (and dangerous) new properties.
