DESCRIPTION
Used to stun and apprehend Force users. Using a small generator in the handle the Stun-Lance can handle just about any target up close. There are two options on the lance, Stun and electrocute. Stun is for non-lethal situations while the electrocute option is meant to keep a target down for good. Using mainly the same components of an electrostaff it allowed the user to stun through light and medium armors, with heavy armors being able to withstand the lance. The lance is known for being very unstable even being known to electrocute some users or that the hand held generator to even explode. Though this is usually due to stress on the weapon without making any repairs. The lance is tipped with electricity. Due to the lance's high frequency vibrations (Similar to a vibroblade) The Stun lance is able to counter lightsabers.

Strengths:

• Can resist lightsabers
• Easily repaired

Weaknesses:

• Electric attacks are conducted by the lance and can electrocute the user... or even cause an explosion of the generator that causes its stun
• Ionic blasts can disable the generator and make it lose efficiency entirely.

Concept is good, but I'm going to need a few points explained before I can approve this.

Can withstand a Lightsaber.

• What grants this weapon Lightsaber resistance?

Can stun through armors

• Please explain how it can do that.

Length: 1.3m Weight: 2kg

• That is both very long and heavy for a one-handed weapon.
• Either convey this through an appropriate weakness
  OR
• reduce the length and thus the weight.

Please also give the description a bit more meat. It's extremely barebones at the moment.

Material: Durasteel, Phrik, Stun-lance components.

• From the Restricted Materials rules:
  To be able to use a Restricted Item in your Factory Submission, a writer must first complete the objective attached to the restricted item in a convincing manner that adds to the quality of the role-play thread. Standard objective completion may grant between Unique and a max Limited production depending on the submission.
• Your options are thus:
• Remove the phrik and the lightsaber resistance, keep the Limited production
  OR
• Keep the phrik and the lightsaber resistance, but drop production to Unique
  OR
• Complete the phrik restricted mission thread, and keep both the phrik and the Limited production.

The lance is tipped with electricity and under electrocute mode, it could stop a beings heart in 5 seconds.

• Please remove this line. Only your writing partner is able to decide the final effects of this weapon against their character.

Though this is usually due to stress on the weapon without making any repairs.

• This weakness won't ever come into play from a PvP standpoint, then, as 'repairs', 'maintenance', and other such things always happen "off-screen".
• Either give another condition / circumstance in which the lance will electrocute the user / explode
  OR
• Replace this with a different weakness.

Can stun through most armors

• How does this work? What would 'block' this effect?

Vibroblades can't block lightsabers by default. Only those which were made with cortosis-weave could:
A vibroblade could be fitted with cortosis-weave, allowing it to parry the blows of lightsabers and energy swords. – Wookieepedia article on Vibroblades

Cortosis is also a Restricted material, and would likewise require that you do a Restricted mission for it if you wanted this at Limited.

Your options are the following, if you want this with Limited production:

1. Do the Restricted Mission for Cortosis, keep the lightsaber resistance
   OR
2. Do the Restricted Mission for Phrik, keep the lightsaber resistance
   OR
3. Don't do any Restricted Missions, drop the lightsaber resistance

Darn ok, what's required in the restricted missions? [member="Netherworld"]

From the Restricted Materials rules:

• Cortosis (( Objective : Perform a mining operation, a raid, an excavation, or steal to obtain cortosis ore from any of the following planets: Apatros, Obredaan, Katanos VII, Duro, Bal’demnic, Gallos, Conglomerate Prime,Bespin, Umphathia –OR—suffer a devastating defeat at the hands of a Force User Character written by another writer. ))
  
• Phrik (( Objective : Perform a mining operation, a raid, an excavation, or steal to obtain phrikite ore from any of the following planets: Gromas 16, Alderaan, Arkania, Rendili, Bastion, Wayland, Roche Asteroids, Seltos,Demonsgate,Val'hala, Sekalus –OR—suffer a devastating defeat at the hands of a Non-Force User. ))

Let me know which of the two you'll be picking. Please be aware that it can't be both – more than one RM per submission is only allowed in very rare cases, and this one wouldn't qualify.
