Magnetic Retention Set

Four low-profile magnetic catches, two weapon shoes, and a fistful of shims make up this deeply unromantic answer to losing gear in zero gravity. Karthunai boarders mount them where a hand naturally falls—hip, chest, thigh, sometimes upside down beneath a shoulder plate. The grip releases to a coded twist rather than a straight pull, so impact won't scatter a crew's expensive decisions down the corridor. Near loose fasteners the set collects a furry beard of metal filings. Owners who skip cleaning discover that even good magnets can be defeated by enough workshop dandruff.
