SPECIAL FEATURES
STRENGTHS
  • Energy Aegis: The combination of triple-phase Echani conformal shields, energy sinks, norris root staining, and Transparent Shield Weave gives the outfit extreme resistance to blasters, disruptors, plasma, particle weapons, electrical attacks, ion weaponry, and stun effects. Against most ranged energy threats, the wearer can remain fully mobile under sustained fire.
  • Lightsaber Resistance: The Phrik-Terentatek Hide composite provides elite-tier resistance to lightsabers. This is a notable advantage in close-quarters engagements against lightsaber-wielders.
  • Metaphysical Shield: Terentatek hide significantly dampens direct Force-based effects. While not total immunity, this resistance complicates many types of Force attacks and reduces the effectiveness of many Sith and Jedi techniques. In addition, a dedicated neural stabilizer in the neck piece protects against mental attacks.
  • Extreme Thermal Tolerance: Ostrine reinforcement and thermal shielding allow the wearer to operate in environments with intense heat, fire, or plasma exposure. Directed flamethrowers, thermal detonator shock-heat, and heat bloom are far less lethal than they would be to conventional armor.
  • Storm Chaser: Liquid-Aenite electronic treatment, Solar Ray shielding, and the AEGIS nanoarray make the outfit extraordinarily resilient to ion weapons, EMP grenades, and electronic warfare. This prevents catastrophic system shutdowns common to advanced armor systems.
  • Deceptive Coverage: The kimono silhouette and visible exposed skin disguises the outift’s true defensive capabilities. The Transparent Shield Weave and conformal shielding may cause opponents to misjudge target vulnerability, potentially driving poor tactical decisions.
  • Wallflower: The Farsight Dress is a multi-spectrum concealment platform designed to defeat visual perception, electronic sensing, biometric tracking, and battlefield acoustics simultaneously. Its stealth profile is layered, redundant, and adaptive. Its core strengths include near-total visual obfuscation via the photo-reactive coating, sensor and scanner suppression via the stealth polymer and the mirror masking system, electronic surveillance defeat via the Blue Witch sensor jammer, thermal/infrared invisibility via the thermoguard system, concealment from metaphysical senses via the taozin node, and acoustic erasure via D-baffling.
  • Self-Sustaining: Programmable matter enables gradual self-repair, sealing penetrations and microfractures after combat. While not instantaneous, it dramatically increases operational longevity during extended campaigns.
WEAKNESSES
  • Acerbic Affliction: Weaponized acids, molecular solvents, and exotic corrosives can bypass or degrade organic components such as terentatek hide and norris-stained layers. Sustained exposure can permanently damage the outfit if not neutralized quickly.
  • Low Tensor Resistance: While optimized to mitigate damage from most forms of energy-based assaults, tensor weapons are indeed the exception. In firing compressed tractor beam waves, they can bypass most of the bodysuit’s defenses and affect the wearer’s body at a cellular level, with the potential to cause severe injury.
  • Shield Projector Fragility: The Farsight Dress is a high-tech combat outfit that depends in large part on its electronics for its defensive prowess. Thus, should its electronics be overloaded, disabled, or impaired, the outfit’s ability to protect Olana will suffer in turn. In such a case, the miniaturized intrinsic shield array and the Transparent Shield Weave might suffer malfunction. Since these systems are linchpins to the outfit’s resistance against disruptors (the protective material by itself is unable to adequately defend against this weapon type as solid materials can not be proofed against disruptors), these weapons will likely pose an especially mortal threat to the wearer in the event of system failure.
  • Single Point of Failure: The energized neck piece concentrates critical sensors, shielding control, and life support functions. Severe damage to this component can compromise head and neck defense more quickly than a traditional helmet would.
  • Limited Radiation Protection: The outfit lacks dedicated radiation shielding. Prolonged exposure to ionizing radiation, nuclear fallout, or stellar emissions remains dangerous, particularly if shield power must be conserved.
  • Slow Self-Repair Cycle: Programmable matter repairs are gradual. Severe damage incurred in rapid succession cannot be immediately undone and may accumulate during prolonged engagements. It goes without saying that the programmable matter will not be able to effect repairs during most live confrontations.
DESCRIPTION
Created by First United Astral Engineering, the Farsight Dress was commissioned by Olana using funds she ostensibly secured from her previous contracts before joining the Big Agnes. Outwardly styled as a flowing Atrisian kimono with thigh-high boots, the combat dress is a ceremonial-tactial hybrid garment engineered as a state-of-the-art personal protection system. Its primary construction is a phrik–terentatek hide composite armorweave, marrying the near-mythic durability and lightsaber resistance of phrik with the Force-resistant properties of terentatek hide. This composite grants extraordinary survivability against both conventional and esoteric threats while remaining exceptionally light, flexible, and graceful in motion. The armorweave is further treated with norris root staining, which imparts natural resistance to energy weapons and lightsabers without compromising the garment’s elegance. Ostrine reinforcement throughout the dress and boots absorbs extreme heat, rendering the outfit highly resistant to plasma, fire, and thermal overload.

Beneath the visible layers lies a Transparent Shield Weave undersuit lies beneath the visible layer, an invisible, skintight lattice of miniaturized energy shield projectors that protects every exposed area with the exception of the head. When energized, it provides deceptive yet formidable protection that is seamlessly integrated into the outfit’s overall defensive architecture. Embedded within the kimono dress and thigh-high boots is an Echani conformal shield projector array that employs a triple-phase system: Solar ray shielding for electrical, ionic, particle, plasma, and light-wave threats; particle shielding for kinetic and physical impacts; and a thermal layer for directed heat and fire. Energy sinks in the boots and belt absorb excess blaster energy, while an integrated AEGIS nanoarray disperses electricity and stun effects across the armor. All sensitive electronics are treated with Liquid-Aenite, granting extreme resistance to EMP and ion weaponry, and programmable matter allows the outfit to self-seal and self-repair over time after sustaining damage.

Head and neck protection is provided by an energized neck piece that deploys a reactive, skintight energy shield around the head and throat when threats are detected. This system doubles as a life-support interface and sensor hub, incorporating sonic nullification earpieces, smart contact lenses with polarized flash protection and HUD projection, and a full targeting and awareness suite.

The Farsight Dress is further distinguished by a multi-spectrum stealth architecture layered throughout its construction. A toggleable photo-reactive coating overlays the kimono, boots, and Transparent Shield Weave, actively warping and reflecting ambient light and coloration to render the wearer nearly invisible to unaided sight across most environments. Beneath this is a Skuggalegt P-pattern stealth polymer undercoating, a synthesis of reflec, stygian-triprismatic polymer, nightshadow, shadowskin, and shadowsilk technologies. This polymer absorbs stray light, attenuates sound, and—most critically—reflects, diffuses, or falsifies scanner and sensor returns, making the wearer exceptionally difficult to detect by radar, lidar, motion scanners, or life-form detection systems. The Transparent Shield Weave itself incorporates mirror masking, obscuring biological signatures and suppressing life sign readings, while integrated D-baffling eliminates extraneous sound from movement. A thermoguard system equalizes the garment’s external temperature with its surroundings, erasing infrared and thermal contrast, and a Blue Witch sensor jammer actively disrupts electronic surveillance, security holocams, and advanced monitoring networks. Together, these systems allow Olana to slip from visual, electronic, thermal, acoustic, and biometric perception almost entirely. In this, the Farsight Dress functions as a comprehensive concealment platform, befitting a seer who must observe without being observed.

In all, the Farsight Dress is an outfit that appears ceremonial and minimalistic, yet functions as a fully integrated, elite-grade combat ensemble masked by a delicate silhouette that conceals extreme survivability, Force resistance, and advanced battlefield adaptability.

PRODUCTION INFORMATION
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Electromagnetic Plasma Pistol
  • Size: Large
  • Weight: Heavy
  • Muzzle Velocity: 2.5 km/s
  • Bolt Appearance:
    • The bolt itself is a blue-white plasma lance with arcing electricity. It impacts in a bright blue-white flash with a residual cloud of green-blue-white smoke from vaporized materials being superheated into a plasma state before rapidly cooling.
  • Ammunition Type: FAE/AM-01-S2 Energy Weapon Cartridge - Ethaerium Gas and Universal Coolant
  • Ammunition Capacity: Very Small - 10 Shots
  • Effective Range: Battlefield - 500 m
  • Rate of Fire: Semi-Automatic
  • Damage Output: Extreme
  • Recoil: Very Low
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Data and Information Security
  • Combat Electronics
  • Control Systems
  • Energy Modules
    • Umbaran Electromagnetic Plasma Bolt
      • Derived from Umbaran electromagnetic plasma technologies, this module fires a lance of high-energy plasma that has three notable damage effects: thermal, kinetic, and electromagnetic. The primary kill mechanism is thermal, complemented by devastating kinetic and electromagnetic effects.
        • Kinetic
          • The first effect to manifest is kinetic. Although the plasma bolt is not a solid slug, it carries a significant amount of kinetic energy due to its mass and velocity. When it strikes a target, it delivers a tremendous kinetic impact before thermal energy release. A direct hit to a man-sized target, is roughly equivalent to being struck by a high-explosive autocannon shell. It can liquefy organs and pulverize bone, violently disrupting the body in the process. In addition, the rapid expansion of the vaporized materials and superheated air generates a powerful shockwave which is capable of rupturing eardrums, collapsing lungs, knocking targets off their feet, and inflicting severe internal bruising within a 1-meter radius.
        • Thermal
          • Thermal energy manifests when the electromagnetic containment field collapses upon impact, releasing an immense quotient of thermal energy directly onto the target in a microsecond from the star-core-temperature plasma orb. This energy transfer is so rapid and intense that it has the potential to bypass the liquid phase entirely, superheating most materials (including durasteel, ferrocrete, plastoid, reinforced organic carapace, etc.) directly into a gas within a radius of ~0.5 meters. Even on a near-miss, the radiant heat flux can scorch exposed flesh, melt armor surfaces, and cause contained moisture to flash into steam, potentially leading to painful burns and internal trauma. The bolt’s thermal output is sufficient to melt durasteel and violently ablate specialized heat-resistant materials the likes of duravlex or ostrine.
        • Electromagnetic
          • Electromagnetic and radiation effects stem from the characteristics of Umbaran EM plasma. As the projectile is a ball of unstable, electrically charged particles held together by a powerful EM field, its collapse releases a massive pulse of electromagnetic energy across a broad spectrum within a ~2-3 meter radius. This pulse is powerful enough to fry any unshielded electronics and disrupt shields within a short radius. In addition, the plasma state and the forces involved generate a significant amount of X-ray and a small amount of gamma radiation at the moment of impact. While not enough for acute radiation sickness from a single near-miss, repeated exposure or close calls may carry cumulative risk. The intense EM fields may also cause localized neural interference, resulting in involuntary muscle twitches or disorientation for those within a meter of the detonation.
    • Stun Bolt
      • Projects a stun bolt that is designed to leave a target unconscious by overloading their nervous system via charged electrical impulses.
  • Power and Energizing Systems
  • Utility and Safety Systems
STRENGTHS
  • Can Opener: The FAE/W-17 essentially functions as a hand-held breaching tool and light vehicle killer. It can vaporize durasteel, breach ferrocrete walls, shatter and superheat beskar plating, and penetrate specialized heat-resistant materials the likes of duravlex and ostrine. This makes it effective against fortifications, light vehicle armor, and droid casings.
  • Combined Effects Damage: The FAE/W-17 delivers a synergistic kill mechanism of kinetic impact, thermal vaporization, and electromagnetic pulse. This makes the weapon extremely effective against a wide range of targets, including droids, organics, and electronics. The weapon is capable of injuring/disorienting multiple enemies with a single shot.
  • Exceptional Range: With an effective range of ~400-600 meters, the FAE/W-17 significantly outranges standard blaster rifles, allowing the shooter to dominate over typical engagement distances. In addition, the weapon is incredibly accurate and precise within its effective range.
  • Anti-Force Storm: The FAE/W-17 has integrated terentatek hide, providing resistance to the Force. Anti-EMP and Ion measures are present in the form of reinforced duraplast electronic hardening and a combat de-ionization, allowing the weapon to resist limited amounts of high-energy electromagnetic discharges or quickly return to function in the event that it is compromised.
  • Anti-Reflection: The bolt explodes against shields, solid matter, and lightsabers. Attempting to deflect it with a lightsaber using standard techniques could see a lightsaber wielder suffer concussive force akin to a grenade, localized damage from searing heat and molten splatter, and temporary sensory loss from the point-blank flash and loud bang.
WEAKNESSES
  • Cumbersome: Constructed from robust materials, the FAE/W-17 is significantly heavier and bulkier than a standard blaster pistol, making it poorly suited for quick draws. Its weight is forward-heavy.
  • Limited Ammunition Capacity: The FAE/W-17has a limited ammunition capacity due to the massive energy and gas consumed per shot. This makes it a weapon best suited for swift and decisive engagements, rather than drawn-out lightfights.
  • Gem of Power: Like many high-end energy weapons, the FAE/W-17 requires a focusing crystal to stabilize the initial plasma generation. This crystal is a single point of failure. If it cracks or loses its tuning, the weapon would be rendered a heavy brick until the fault is either corrected.
DESCRIPTION
Produced in very limited numbers by First United Astral Engineering, the FAE/W-17 Electromagnetic Plasma Pistol is the company’s first foray into working with Umbaran electromagnetic plasma technology. In essence, the FAE/W-17 Electromagnetic Plasma Pistol is a downscaled version of the ancient Umbaran electromagnetic plasma cannon—a weapon capable of vaporizing thousand-ton blast doors in a single shot.

Although the FAE/W-17 is not capable of this feat, its destructive power pushes the lethality of a sidearm to a bleeding edge. It fires a hypervelocity, magnetically-contained orb of superheated plasma that kills through a brutal synergy of effects: a kinetic impact equivalent to a 25mm shell, followed by a microsecond thermal release that has the potential to flash-vaporize armor and tissue, capped capped by a localized EMP burst. The result is a nigh-guaranteed one-shot kill against virtually any infantry target, with the ability to breach durasteel bulkheads and cripple light vehicles.

In all, the FAE/W-17 is a quintessential hand cannon. However, its extreme power comes at a cost: limited ammunition, a sensitive crystal, and heavy weight. Nevertheless, the weapon is a rare and devastating tool for the shooter who needs absolute certainty that whatever they point it at will cease to exist.

  • Locked Assembly: By default, the Faithful Heart is configured as a Class-D disruptor sniper rifle. It can not be reverted back to its stock variant without advanced disassembly in a workshop environment.
  • Smart Optics Pod: Integrated with Fourth Legion battle net AI for predictive tracking, variable zoom, thermal, motion tagging, and encrypted drone relay feed.
  • Uprated Pulse-Weighted Plasma Coils: Fires high-cohesion, micro-cavitating, hyper-ionized Class-D disruptor bolts that retain stability over extreme range; able to punch through virtually all superheavy and advanced-grade battlefield armor systems.
  • Uprated Hybrid Rail Assist: Optional coil-assisted launch system gives shots railgun-like velocity for shield-breaking or anti-materiel roles.
  • Adjustable Stabilization Stock: Reinforced recoil-absorbing buttstock with servo-hydraulic dampening, deployable monopod, and positional lock for suit integration.
  • Targeting Relay Uplink: Syncs with nearby Legion units to designate, prioritize, and share targets in real time, creating dynamic crossfire advantages.
  • Corrosive-Tolerant Chassis: Coated to resist acid rain, dust, cryo-exposure, extreme heat and high-radiation conditions common to deployments.
  • Uprated Neural Reflex Trigger Port: Optional combat neural link allows fire-by-thought/command interface with virtually no latency.
  • Zero-Profile Heat Dumping: Internal plasma decay is rerouted through cloaked pulse vents, eliminating thermal bloom and sniper counter-sensors.
  • Null-Profile Bolt Suppression: The bolt is fired as a quasi-stable, low-radiation pulse with a self-contained energy signature, releasing its full waveform only after impact. In electromagnetic terms, the bolt appears cold and dark, with no telltale surge or ionization trail. As a result, the bolt is effectively invisible to sensors until immediately after the moment of impact, allowing it to reliably counter and offset anti-disruptor countermeasures (and various other anti-energy weapon countermeasures) that rely on sensor detection.
  • Terentatek Hide Integration: The Faithful Heart’s critical internal systems are lined with thin terentatek hide sheets. Ultra-thin terentatek hide microfibers are woven into insulation and wiring jackets, integrating Force-resistance into the weapon’s electrical architecture.
  • Collapsing Mirrors: The Faithful Heart can be collapsed down to less than half of its typical (uncollapsed) size and weight—a smaller and lighter most often used for storage or transport.
  • StabiliGat™ Recoil Reduction Module
  • Optional Silencer
  • Optional Bipod
  • Blaster Gas Mask
  • Magnatomic Adhesion Grip
  • Combat De-Ionization System
  • Autosteady-Gyro Gimbal
  • Stun Setting
jnl5GdA.gif

  • Heaven Striker: Devastatingly accurate at extreme range; its Class-D disruptor bolts make it a true marksman's weapon with destructive anti-armor capability. With its modifications from the stock variant, the Faithful Heart is capable of inflicting atomic deletion on its targets. Each high-cohesion, micro-cavitating, hyper-ionized bolt is produced by an ultra-dense, nonharmonic Ethaerium gas solution, giving the sufficient power to dematerialize exotic materials the likes of beskar, phrik, neuranium, ultra-dense organic carapace and other similarly resilient materials with a single shot. The bolt also strikes with a savage amount of kinetic force, with the potential to shatter bones, rupture organs, rattle components, blow out body cavities, and throw targets off their feet even in the event that annihilation or penetration fails. Finally, the explosive effects of the bolt renders it generally impractical to defend against with a lightsaber.
  • Battle Net Integration: Links seamlessly with Legion AI relays, drones, and other Shrike units to dominate entire zones of fire.
  • Anti-Shield Capable: The Shrike's hybrid rail-coil system can destabilize enemy energy shielding at range. In addition, the hyper-ionized nature of the bolt gives it the potential to overload energy shields in a manner akin to an electromagnetic pulse.
  • Devotion as Armor: Anti-EMP and Ion measures are present in the form of agrinium reinforcement electronic hardening and a combat de-ionization system, allowing the weapon to feasibly resist high-energy electromagnetic discharges or quickly return to function in the event that it is compromised. In addition, the Faithful Heart is modified with integrated terentatek hide, providing resistance to the Force.
  • Litany of Silence: A reactive photonic mesh coating makes the Faithful Heart extremely discreet, rendering it very difficult, if not impossible to pick up on sensors or scanners, while adding adaptive camouflage capability. The weapon is also equipped with an advanced null-profile bolt suppression system. In this, the bolt is discharged as a quasi-stable, low-radiation pulse with a self-contained energy signature. As a result, the bolt has effectively zero sensor signature when in-flight, making the weapon a reliable counter anti-disruptor and anti-energy weapon countermeasures that rely on sensor detection to activate. In addition, when utilizing Ethaerium X gas cartridges, the bolts fired by the rifle are nigh-invisible, effectively eliminating muzzle flash. All of these features combined (with the addition of the silencer to quiet the weapon at the point of the shooter) make the rifle so stealthy that it is often nigh-impossible to pick out the location of the shooter.
39Mg1hP.gif

  • Heavy and Specialized: Like the stock variant, the Faithful Heart is not suited to general purpose use cases due primarily to its weight and large frame. It is generally unwieldy and inconvenient to use in close-quarters.
  • Limited Magazine Capacity: In order to augment the Faithful Heart’s power for conversion into a disruptor, capacity was sacrificed. As a result, under sustained (or undisciplined) use in a typical lightfight, reloads may be frequent and at times, wholly inconvenient.
  • Significant Heat Load: Repeated shots build internal heat rapidly; the weapon must cool between bursts to avoid destabilization or cell overload.
  • Storm Surge: As the Faithful Heart utilizes a coil-assisted launch to fire, it is susceptible to EMP and Ion-based assaults. An overload could result in the weapon being significantly attenuated in power and muzzle velocity due to the plasma rails being impaired or even the weapon itself being outright disabled—the latter being a potentiality should it be hit by a powerful ionizing discharge that overcomes its defenses.

Darth Virelia said:
"One shot, one kill."

A precision instrument in a world that no longer tolerates imprecision, the ARX-16 "Shrike" is a hybrid marksman platform engineered not for flexibility, but for judgment.

Designed in the polar shadows of the Black Vault Annex on Mygeeto, the Shrike was never intended to see mass deployment. It was made for those few Legion operatives trusted to think independently—to move ahead of the line, evaluate the threat landscape, and make irreversible decisions at range.

Unlike standard plasma rifles, the Shrike's hybrid coil-launch system fires magnetically sheathed plasma slugs at such high velocity that kinetic and thermal energy converge at impact. The result is rarely survivable. A single shot can disable relay nodes, breach composite plating, or remove key targets from the tactical equation entirely—without alerting nearby sensors, thanks to its integrated heat-dump architecture.

Every component is mission-coded and overengineered: adaptive optics tuned for drone relay feeds, self-calibrating rails, neural uplink triggers, smart suppressors, corrosive-sealed mounts. The Shrike is not pretty. It is not forgiving. It is not replaceable. But in the right hands, it is the end of uncertainty.

In Legion doctrine, Shrike-wielders are referred to as Judges—not snipers, not marksmen, not support. They do not suppress. They terminate.
Click to expand...

A lethal vessel of devotion and worship to the Dark Queen, the Faithful Heart is an extreme-range, precision instrument designed to manifest its wielder’s zeal to devastating, hyper-lethal effect. Upon being issued a stock ARX-16 “Shrike” Modular Rifle, Rowena began working to modify to better fit her operational needs as a sniper. Thus, the completed, modified version—the Faithful Heart—contains a suite of systems to enhance its efficacy, encompassing stealth systems, utility features, and conversion systems which make it into a Class-D disruptor.

Discharging a hyper-ionized Class-D disruptor bolt, the Faithful Heart deals damage via a veritable hammer blow of concussive shock (kinetic energy) and the searing release of unstable, nonharmonic disruptor energy which can excite and destabilize matter on the atomic level to produce extreme atomic obliteration capable of vaporizing virtually all types of materials (including heavy armor). The bolt’s hyper-ionized characteristics allow it to disrupt electronics and overload personal, vehicle, and even small emplacement-grade energy shields in the manner of an electromagnetic pulse. Of particular significance, the bolt has an explosive effect upon connecting with a shield or solid object, including energy fields and notably, lightsabers.

The Faithful Heart is effective against a wide range of targets. The weapon’s sheer disruptive energy, focused by the uprated plasma coils, makes it a formidable anti-materiel rifle. Effective against armored vehicles and starships, the bolt can compromise the molecular bonds of durasteel, beskar, phrik, and other types of advanced armor plating. While it may not vaporize an entire tank, a precisely placed shot can potentially blow a fist-sized hole through its hull, potentially disabling critical systems or eliminating the crew inside. It is also exceptionally effective against cockpit canopies and external sensor arrays.

In all, with the modifications made to the weapon, the Faithful Heart’s role has shifted from "precision elimination" to "strategic annihilation”. Its purpose is to engage and annihilate targets that are considered "unkillable" by any other means: Jedi Masters, regenerating horrors, and the most hardened of war machines. This ensures that Rowena’s devastating litanies of devotion can reach all targets, no matter their resistance to her message.
