changes alignment in a Law and Misrule campaign, it
must Test the Alliance but does not add 3 to the dice

FAQ
Q. When a Van Saar Neotek is promoted, can they still use their grav-cutter?A. Yes, any Wargear or weapons a fighter has before they are promoted they may still use and keep access to, though they may no longer purchase additional equipment from the Van Saar Neotek equipment list - they must use the one relevant to their new rank within the gang.
Q. When a Van Saar Neotek dies, can I give their
grav-cutter to another fighter or sell it?
A. No, fighters can only be given equipment that is
in their equipment list, the Trading Post or the Black
Market. As grav-cutters do not appear on any of
those they cannot be given to another fighter. For
the same reason they cannot be sold during the
Post-battle sequence.
Q. When they are hit by a weapon with the Seismic
trait, does an Active fighter equipped with a gravcutter
become Prone and Pinned?
A. Yes, a grav-cutter prevents a fighter becoming Prone
and Pinned due to being hit by a ranged attack and
means they cannot voluntarily become Prone and
Pinned, but this does not stop the Seismic trait.
Q. How does a fighter use the Rad Cannon
Emplacement terrain?
A. If a fighter is in base contact with the Rad Cannon
Emplacement, they may fire it as if it is a weapon they
are equipped with. Each Rad Cannon Emplacement
may only be fired once per round.
