- No Recoil: As opposed to blasters and slugthrowers, the energy bow has zero recoil when fired.
WEAKNESSES
- Draw Back Weight: Despite having no recoil, the energy bow has a taxing draw back weight. This bow requires great physical strength, in the entire body, to pull the string back. A sort of reverse recoil, which is just as nasty if not worse.
- How Does This Thing Work?: The learning curve for this weapon is massive. The ideal physical aptitude, proper posture and stances, the physical exertion combined with firing such a weapon. All these things make the energy bow harder to master than many more common forms of ranged weaponry in the Galaxy. It takes great skill and especially training to wield it at its full capacity.
- Give Me A Moment: Once the plasma generator is depleted, it will need recharged after battle for an extended period of time. This means there is no reloading every time ammunition runs out, rendering the weapon useless mid-battle if all the arrows are used up...
DESCRIPTION
Forged by a rogue Jedi Knight, this energy bow holds traditional to the Atrisian culture. The energy bow can fire plasma bolts, piecing enemies the same way as a blaster bolt. With a rapid firing rate and plasma generator with plenty to spare, this is a solid long term ranged weapon in the battlefield. However, the draw back weight is hefty, requiring physical strength through the entire body to wield properly. Furthermore, the energy bow takes a lot more discipline and training to use than a blaster. It can fire a plasma cable, useful for getting around or pulling an object towards the wielder.
A rogue Jedi Knight, Aoki, traveled the outer rim and unknown regions taking out criminal scum and underground gangs. However, the weapon also was used as a training weapon for his daughter, Mira. When Aoki eventually was slain, Aoki Mira took the energy bow up herself, claiming it as her own in his memory.
