Storms

Coriolis storms are sandstorms with speeds of up to 450mph. They will strip a man's flesh within minutes.

Anyone caught in a coriolis storm will die immediately. A successful roll vs Survival (Desert), with bonuses for Acute Vision and/or Acute Hearing, will allow a character to spot an incoming storm and seek shelter.

Holtzman shields provide no defence against a coriolis storm, as the static charge of the storm interferes with the shield generator, rendering the shield inactive.
