• Generates a Droideka Bubble Shield version of a Mandalorian Power Shield OR an Droideka Bubble version of an Arkanian Energy Shield

STRENGTHS

• The Trooper's best friend: A tough, rugged, reliable weapon that's easily repaired with minimal resources, as excellent range and accuracy, can serve as either a primary infantry weapon, a squad automatic weapon, or a sniper rifle, and even has reduced noise and glare making an individual shooter more difficult to pinpoint. It can also wirelessly feed data into a Soldier Biot's brain or an armor HUD system
• Variety: Can be fitted with various kinds of scopes, sights, side mounts, undermounts, it can fire underwater whether in lethal or stun mode and it can ricochet shots fired in a special stun firing mode that allows it to mimic the effects of a bowcaster, and can be mounted on drones, remote controlled turrets, tripods, and can be connected to generators for limitless ammo both back pack mounted and otherwise. There are very few positions this weapon wouldn't be handy at. It's recoil can be completely eliminated if mounted to bolted down bipods and tripods
• Fast Travel: Due to pulse gun tech, it's bolts travel much faster than normal blaster bolts
• Multiple Stun Modes: The Rifle Comes with Multiple types of Stun mode. SEMI AUTO-STUN Mode releases a large white blast of stun energy that is potentially difficult for Lightsabers to deflect, that retains the range and accuracy of a lethal semi auto mode. SEMI AUTO-CONE STUN unleashes a conical white two point five meter radius blast wave of stun energy at a greatly reduced range of seventy meters without losing accuracy. SEMI AUTO-RICOCHET STUN fires a medium sized bolt of white stun energy that ricochets off surfaces up to four times before dissipating. Special scopes can be used to plot the ricochet path on certain surfaces. BURST-STUN functions the same as it does on lethal mode, minus the lethal effects. AUTOMATIC-STUN fires small white ricochet shots on full auto that ricochet up to two times before dissipating
• Shields!: Generates a Droideka Bubble Shield Version of either a Mandalorian Power Shield (which blocks solid as well as energy projectiles) or a Arkanian Energy Shield (Which blocks multiple kinds of damage, including sonic and energy attacks) for a period of two minutes before a two minute recharge is required. This is due to a miniature fusion generator in the weapon, which can be separated from the rifle to power other objects in an emergency.
• Survivalist: The Rifle itself can also be wired to run off its own bubble shield generator in an emergency, at the cost of an ammo capacity of one shot which recharges to fire every ten seconds. The Biot can even wire the rifle to run off one of its own internal organs, since they count as generators, enabling them to fire constantly every five seconds on Semi Auto only, and the rifle's hook ups can do just that with a boot, and are in fact specifically designed to hook up to both them and regular generators
• Smaller Clips: The Gas Cannisters are smaller and more easily reloaded, allowing twice as many to be carried, due to each canister carrying more highly compressed gas. The clips themselves can be used like grenades in an emergency

WEAKNESSES

• Recoil: The recoil is always high no matter what setting it's on. It's not advisable to snipe on burst or full auto without a bipod or tripod firmly secured to the ground as your accuracy will be reduced by about twenty five percent. If you have superhuman strength like the Biots, there is only a ten percent accuracy loss if they snipe while on full auto and mobile (Scope will need to be attached to do it properly)
• Weight: Lugging it around constantly can get pretty tiring if you don't have a chance to rest between firefights
• Size: It's long length makes firing indoors risky, unless it's out of a window
• Speed: If hooked to a backpack mounted generator, even if it's small and compact, the users movement speed is reduced by twenty percent
• Stuck: If mounted to a bolted down bipod, or tripod, it's time consuming to dismount it. Don't do it unless you are committed to holding a position

DESCRIPTION

Soldier Biots have been in commission long enough to develop their own culture, centered on a life as mercenary warriors secretly in service to Clan Li-Ves and House Bloodscrawl, and place great reverence around the Longblaster, a tradition learned from encounters with both friendly and hostile Nuetralizers, the House Io Battle Scout Rifle, and the Nightsister Energy Bow Pistol.

When it came to longblasters, The Soldier Biots originally used the DC-15A, taken first as trophies from slain Droid and Android warriors loyal to House Io. Many still use the weapon. Others took to using the DC-15N after they started getting introduced to it by friendly Nuetralizers who had defected from House Io. In their experiences with both, the mostly female designed and coded population gathered together

Seemingly becoming the signature weapon of Clan Li-Ves Soldier Biots by unanimous popular vote (Though it is not unusual for individual Biot Mercenaries to travel with this weapon, the DC-15A, and the DC-15N for back-up or something approaching ceremonial purposes or even simple sentiment) the Androids who build them (For they must be constructed by Hand while alone) tend to treat them the way a Jedi treats their lightsaber, or a Mandalorian treats their armor. Obtaining one can be difficult, but the weapon's qualities can make them prize possessions when they do. The Soldier Biots of Clan Li-Ves make their living with these rifles, traveling the galaxy from one conflict zone to another. Nathan thought so highly of the weapons upon testing them that he made them the Semi-Official Rifle of House Bloodscrawl.
