PRODUCTION INFORMATION​

• Manufacturer: Breshig War Forge Consolidated.
• Affiliation: Breshig War Forge Consolidated and Strill Securities.
• Material: Void Stone dust-Glop canister, detonite initiating charge, ,chemical fuze components, electronics, grenade components.

SPECIAL FEATURES​

• Two Operation Modes:
  
  • Launched: These grenades can be loaded into an appropriately sized grenade launcher and launched.
  • Thrown: There is a switch on the grenade that switches it from a launched grenade to a hand grenade.
• Detonation Modes:
  
  • Impact: The grenade detonates either on impact or rapid deceleration. In the latter case, this includes but is not limited to being redirected or stopped via the force, tractor beams or similar technology. This is a chemical fuse that arms after one second. The fuze functions whether the grenade has impacted on any terrain, including but not limited to snow, sand and water.
  • Timer: If the grenade does not detonate on impact after a period of 3 seconds a pyrotechnic timed delay will set it off. Alternatively an electric configurable delay (rotating the top dial near the mode switch) can detonate the grenade after a time delay of anywhere from 5 seconds to 1 minute. The timed delay mode includes a tamper detection function and if moved or disturbed the grenades will detonate.
  • Airburst: The only electronic device in the grenade is its airburst fuze. The airburst fuse features an encrypted ultra-short range comm or PTP link to sync with either a bracer computer, datapad, wrist comm, HUD suite or similar device to set the airburst distance. Alternatively it can communicate directly with a smart optic or weapon control system to do the same.

STRENGTHS​

• Force Dampening: Void Stone has the property of being able to dampen a force sensitive's connection to the force.
• Effective: The VSGG-02 has an effective radius of 10 meters and glop foam instantaneously hardens on exposure to oxygen, leaving little space or little time for potential targets to evade.
• No Redirection: If the grenade rapidly slows or stops, the impact fuze triggers and detonates the grenade. This makes redirecting, stopping or otherwise trying to affect the grenade with the force or tractor/pressor beams or similar means a decidedly dangerous prospect.
• Ion/EMP/Mechu Deru Proof (Almost): With the exception of the airburst mode, the entirety of the grenade's functioning is all based on mechanical devices or chemical fuzes, meaning there are no electronics for Ion/EMP weapons or Mechu Deru to disable.

WEAKNESSES​

• Only in Atmosphere: Without oxygen in the atmosphere the glop aerosol cannot harden rendering the grenade if deployed little more than an annoyance.
• Not-reusable: Unlike most other glop grenades on the market, the VSGG-02 cannot be refilled and reused.
• Time Limit: Glop becomes brittle in five minutes. At that point it becomes child's play to escape from it.
• Limited is not None: The electronics in the grenade that are required for the airburst mode to function are vulnerable to Ion/EMP weapons. Though unlikely, if powerful enough, an ion weapon could theoretically fry even the extremely simplistic electric timer used by the timed delay mode.

DESCRIPTION​

The VSGG-02 void stone glop grenade was designed for Strill Securities commando teams who are expecting to take on force sensitive hostiles in any numbers. The VSGG-02 is built using the company's new grenade framework and as such is designed to be either launched or deployed like a hand grenade. Given that it was designed to be used against force sensitive enemy personnel potentially capable of disabling or redirecting traditionally launched or thrown ordnance, the grenade makes use of chemical fuzes in its primary modes of operation that detonate either on impact or rapid deceleration.​

​

The VSSG-02 makes use of void stone dust impregnated glop which allows the dust to remain in the immediate area of the engagement even if the force user in question was not ensnared by it. Those that are potentially become unable to use the force and potentially become considerably easier targets to either neutralize or to restrain. Glop does still become brittle after five minutes, and unfortunately requires presence of oxygen in the atmosphere to harden and cure. Additionally, unlike traditional glop grenades, it cannot be refilled and used again. ​

​

The new grenades however, while extremely resistant to EMP/Ion weapons and the like can still have some features disabled by powerful examples of such weapon systems. The electronics in the grenade that are required for the airburst mode to function are vulnerable to Ion/EMP weapons. Though unlikely, if powerful enough, an ion weapon could theoretically fry even the extremely simplistic electric timer used by the timed delay mode.​
