Rebel RadioPotion

Handheld transceiver cobbled together from the guts of three different radios, the casing held shut with electrical tape and a small prayer, the antenna made from a repurposed car whip. Crackles softly even when switched off, which the owner will tell you is a feature.

The Rebel Radio is a cobbled-together shortwave transmitter modified with encryption bypassers and frequency faders. When activated, it pings secret nodes, some respond with supplies, some with intel, and others just hiss with static.

Its antenna hums when the regime gets close.

Soldered together from salvaged warband comms, banned ham rigs, and a hope-fueled battery. Broadcast range limited by orbital interference.

  • Broadcasts on rebel, encrypted, and low-orbit frequencies
  • 20% chance to call in rebel support (supply drop, distraction, intel ping)
  • Generates a local jamming field, disrupting enemy sensors and drones
  • Cooldown: 180 seconds

Use during:

  • Sieges or extractions
  • Data heist missions
  • Rebel-aligned event chains

Works best when elevated or near power amplifiers.

“The revolution won’t be televised. But it will be broadcast, encoded, and bounced off an abandoned satellite on Channel 42069.”

  • Signal Jacker K

Some say the radio responds even when it’s off. Others say that’s just paranoia. But it does blink… sometimes.

Chronicle

Lore

Built in the back rooms of printers and bike shops and the occasional sympathetic bakery, using boards scavenged from state-surplus auctions that nobody quite remembers how to track. The frequency schedule is printed on rolling papers, memorized, and burned, because nothing routed through the device survives a thorough search. Units in the field change hands every few weeks on principle, and the serial numbers have all been filed to different guesses.
