I've searched and searched and can't find anything about this. What are those blue glowing "arrow fletchings" that appear on the back of the Vesk on the cover (and in other places) of the SFRPG Core Book? It looks like they are projected from a device on the right shoulder of his armor.
Thanks for the help!
I think that's starship weapons fire. The Vesk is obscuring either the source (if it's behind him) or the target (if it's originating from the big ship above him and shooting down below at something hidden).

While Obozaya appreciates wealth, her true desire is for
recognition. This is best exemplified by the holoprojector on
her back, capable of projecting a personalized holographic
war-banner in combat to make sure the enemy knows
who’s coming for them. Although brilliant on the battlefield,
Obozaya is a little slow on the draw in most intellectual
pursuits, having little patience for education not directly
related to her vocation. She believes that honor demands
honesty, and while she’s not against lying by omission, she
would rather die than break her word. In conversations with
new people, she’s direct to the point of rudeness, and she
thinks most species talk too much as an attempt to cover up
their cowardice.

I never considered that. It makes sense that they would have something like that given their propensity towards war.

"aim bullet here"

It's very similar to Keskodai's holoprojector of a holy symbol - on his head.
What's odd is that sometimes Obozaya's official art shows it and sometimes it doesn't - using the same default graphic! (Separate layer on the drawing or easily edited out I guess). But, I suppose there's no reason she couldn't just turn it off for those pics.

Looking at the original image without the banner the "beams" are not coming from the ship at the top of the image. There is a large gap between the ship and the visual beginning of the "beam". So if it is weapons fire it is from something behind the Vesk. If it is a holo emitter that is a bit....plain.

I guess it is the holo emitter.

Retcon it to a Holographic Sashimono.
I always thought of them as scifi arrows.
There's some pics showing a shoulder mounted projector, on her back. I have to agree that this might be something like Samurai sashimono or back banners, and I can see (now that I read the background) that a vesk with strong martial ties would display arrows sticking out of the generator instead of some evil war face or something along those lines.
