DESCRIPTION
The AE-BR1 (Alderaan Engineering-Battle Rifle) Pulse Carbine is the first weapon, designed as the standard issue for the Royal Military of Alderaan and other contracted buyers. To this end it was made rugged, durable, versatile, and needed to be iconic, a weapon not normally seen or produced by AE’s competition.
Made from a Duraplast and Agrinium Alloy and its electronics shielded by a copper faraday cage, the weapon is mildly EMP and Ion resistant, durable, designed to operate in sandy, wet, hot, and other environments with a relatively light-weight frame and casing. Sales pitches have included claims that it could operate submerged in mud, covered in sand and other such hazards normal weapons may have issues with.
The real innovation for the weapon was the use of old Pulse Wave blaster technologies. Based off the old Pulse wave blaster and Pulse wave needler, the carbine fires in two modes. Both modes feature a stun setting, and its bolt charges are filled with ionized energy that cause minor electronic disturbances such as disrupting sensors, temporary power fluctuations, and other such effects in electronics it strikes. On rare occasion this can cause a droid to be disabled. The weapon uses a fairly large cartridge of gas and the superconducting filaments, which must be entirely replaced during reloading. This causes the reload process to take significantly longer than just slapping another powerpack into place.
In the first mode, Wave mode, it releases a burst of ionized blaster energy in a cone, expanding and dissipating outward as it travels. Relatively short-ranged, the cone is only lethal up to about 30 meters, but is effective up to 50 meters. Deaths at this range are possible, but rare. The cone expands quickly, reaching its apex covering a five meter diameter blast. The closer the target to the weapon, the more dangerous it is, at ranges of about ten to twenty meters even armored and shielded enemies can find themselves at serious risk.
The second mode is a Pulse Bolt mode, borrowing technology from the Pulse Needler and Particle Beam rifle. It fires a highly condensed, thin bolt of energy across a very long distance. It’s a very potent weapon at close range capable of cutting down a fully armored and shielded opponent, however at longer ranges it dissipates in takedown power.

Strengths:
- Dual Modes: The AE-BR1 is able to fire in Pulse-Wave mode and Pulse-Bolter mode. One is area of effect and one is very long range.
- Cone: In Wave Mode the weapon unleashes a cone of energy, at its apex about five meters in diameter.
- Long Range: In Bolt Mode, the weapon has a very long accurate range, firing a condensed bolt of blaster energy containing Ionized Filaments.
- Ion/Blaster: The weapon causes minor electronic disturbances and has a small chance of disabling them if struck.
- Cone: While the Wave mode is area of effect, its energy dissipates at longer ranges. At 50 meters it covers a 5 meter diameter and effect several people, its energy is unlikely to be lethal further than 30 Meters.
- Limited Ammunition: The rifle only has 40 rounds of ammunition and requires a full cartridge change instead of a simple canister change.
- Energy Dissipation: At higher ranges, the power of the weapon reduces, though at its effective ranges is still lethal, just not comparable to its close range take down power.
- EMP/Ion Resistant
- Pulse Wave Blaster
