Intent: To create custom weapons using Chiss Technology for use on a future Chiss-based Starship Submission
Development Thread: NA
Manufacturer: Imperial State Hypernautics
Model: Adegan-class Maser Weapon
Affiliation: Restricted Sales to Imperial Factions
Modularity: Can accommodate any standard weapon modifier
Production: Mass
Material: Alusteel, Mirkanite, and other common energy weapon construction materials
Description:
Cut off and isolated from their home world of Csilla for hundreds of years, the Chiss native to Golgatha Alpha in the Sirat Wen system have long struggled to maintain their cultural and technological heritage. An inherent part of that heritage are the charric and maser weapons that their people have long been infamous for using. Strait from the brilliant minds of these Sirat Wen native Chiss, the Adegan-class Maser Weapon is but the latest generation of such weapon designs.
The weapon fires a large bolt of super-heated plasma peppered with crystal shards at a target. Utilizing Agrocite enhanced Tibanna Gas as a fuel source and mixing in shards of ground up Adegan Crystals, the maser weapon propels this volatile mix of super-heated plasma and crystal shards at great speeds towards a target. This bolt is roughly three times as large as a comparable laser cannon bolt and is accompanied by a cooldown period between shots that is roughly four times that of a comparable laser cannon. The weapon uses twice as much fuel and power as a standard laser cannon would require, but produces a damaging effect roughly six times as devastating as a similar laser cannon. More so, the intense speed and heat of the energy, combined with the crystal shards mixed into the plasma, causes the energy bolt to cause just as much kinetic damage to the target as it does thermal damage. The amount of damage the weapon is capable of causing in but a single bolt enables the weapon to have superior armor penetration than a comparable number of laser impacts. Likewise, because the weapon causes simultaneous kinetic and thermal damage to a target, it is disproportionately damaging to Deflector Shields as opposed to a ship with dual Ray and Particle Shielding. In practice, the weapon performs approximately 1.5 times the damage to Deflector Shields as it does to a ship with separated Ray and Particle Shielding.
