PRODUCTION INFORMATION
  • Manufacturer: N&Z EnSol, N&Z Umbrella Corporation
  • Affiliation: Valkan Guards, Empire of the Lost (Through Contract)
  • Market Status: Closed-Market
  • Model: NZ/BP-45 Blaster Pistol "Pistis"
  • Modularity: Yes
    • The Type of gas canister can be easily swapped out on the fly.
  • Production: Limited
  • Material: Ersteel 1333 frame, Quinta-Polycarbonite Lamellar Compound grips, and a galven circuit enhanced Ersteel 1333 barrel
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
  • Classification: Blaster
  • Size: Large
  • Weight: Heavy
  • Ammunition Type: Power cell, gas canister
    • Tibanna: 100 power cell | 300 gas canister
    • Sig: 50 power cell | 150 gas canister
  • Ammunition Capacity: Average
  • Effective Range: Long Range
  • Rate of Fire: Average
  • Damage Output: Very High
  • Recoil: Low
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Modularity: The Pistis can add or swap out some parts
    • This weapon has a mounting rail underneath the barrel for lasers, flashlights, etc.
    • This weapon has a mounting rail above the power cell for optics.
    • The gas canister can be easily swapped out from high-quality tibanna gas to armor-penetrating sig gas.
  • Quick Reload: When this weapon needs to swap out its power cell, its break-action design allows for quickly ejecting an expended cell and loading in a fresh one. The gas canister can be easily swapped out from its high-quality tibanna to a sig gas canister.
  • Colored Bolts: The standard bolt color for the 'Pistis' is Royal Purple due to the high-quality tibanna gas and power cell charge. When Sig gas is used the bolt changes to a Midnight Purple. This will change if lower-quality gas or lower-charged cells are used.
STRENGTHS
  • Ol' Reliable: This weapon has few bells and whistles, but that's part of its charm. It was designed to hit hard and be a reliable sidearm. Easy maintenance means fewer failures on the field.
  • Armor Penetrating [Sig Gas Only]: When swapped to sig gas, the weapon's bolts take on an armor-penetrating quality, allowing it to shoot through some armor.
WEAKNESSES
  • Heavy: This weapon is quite hefty for a blaster pistol. Untrained soldiers will have a hard time keeping it steady and upright. Although, you could use it as a club if you ran out of ammo.
  • Low Accuracy [Sig Gas Only]: Sig gas makes your bolt's armor-piercing but wildly inaccurate. It is suggested to use at closer ranges where accuracy isn't needed as much.

DESCRIPTION
This model was named after the old Eriaduan word for reliability, "Pistis." Designed as the sidearm for the Valkan Guards, reliability was chosen over technological gimmicks. So, the only gimmicks you'll find it a comfortable pistol grip and a weight that holds the weapon down when firing leading to low recoil. That and the ability to swap the gas canisters.

The design choice to include a swappable gas canister was made after the success of the NZ MB-02E and its two gas canister system. While it was not possible to put two gas canisters inside this weapon, even while being a larger weapon, having the ability to swap on the go gave it the utility that was desired.

The high damage of the weapon was able to be achieved by enhancing the barrel with galven circuitry that focuses the bolt leading to a higher output, similar to the venerable DL-44.

DESCRIPTION
The N&Z Armored Uniform, the Gerpanzert, is a new uniform for a new age. This new armored uniform can withstand the brunt of most things. The Gerpanzert is highly resistant to kinetic and energy damage, offering excellent protection against the elements thanks to HPI's amazing Kaldrweave (specifically the enviroweave) material combined with the equally environmentally protective Thinsuit.

The Gerpanzert also has the ability to fit five armor plate inserts made out of the amazing Tetra-Polycarbonite Lamellar Compound designed right here at the N&Z Umbrella Corporation. It not only adds more protection to vulnerable areas, it adds a much needed buffer against thermal and ion-type weaponry.

The Gerpanzert is equipped with a few gripping technologies, namely Gription and FrictionGrip. These were added in specific places to add to the uniform's utility. For example, the holster is equipped with Gription to secure the user's service weapon at the molecular level, reducing the risk of it falling out. The boots are equipped with FrictionGrip to facilitate walking on slick or smooth surfaces.

If you or your organization wants to update your uniform with all of the features listed above look no further than N&Z Umbrella Corporation's Gerpanzert Armored Uniform!

PRODUCTION INFORMATION
  • Manufacturer: N&Z EnSol
  • Affiliation: N&Z Umbrella Corporation
  • Market Status: Closed-Market
  • Model: N&Z SP-APM-01 [Shield-Piercing Armor-Piercing Missile]
  • Modularity: Yes
    • The explosive warhead in the second stage can be swapped out.
    • The size can be scaled up, but not down.
  • Production: Mass-Produced
  • Material:
    • Ersteel SLCA, ion disruptor coils with attached energy cells, Type RED Warp Star Warhead, RAS-1 missile propulsion system, other missile materials and parts
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Two-stage delivery platform:
    • The first stage is an outer shell covering most of the warhead. It is made from Ersteel SLCA and ion disruptor coils fed by energy cells. This is designed to create a disruption field around the warhead to weaken or neutralize deflector shields at the point of impact. Creating a localized shield collapse, allowing the second-stage to do its job.
    • The second stage is an armor-piercing, delayed-explosive warhead. It is meant to penetrate ship hulls or installations and cause massive internal damage.
STRENGTHS
  • Missile Deactivation Transmitter Immune: Once made live, there is no way to deactivate it. Making MDTs not able to shut it off.
  • Multi-Frequency Communication: By using several different rapidly shifting communication frequencies, it makes it harder for jammers to sufficiently pinpoint where the directions are coming from. Making it significantly harder to interrupt or jam.

PRODUCTION INFORMATION
  • Manufacturer: N&Z EnSol
  • Affiliation: N&Z Umbrella Corporation
  • Market Status: Open-Market
  • Model: NZ/SbPC-01 [Scatterblaster Power Cell], Drache Cells
  • Modularity: Yes
    • There are several different types of Drache cells (see special features)
    • They can be sized up or down depending on the platform. (See special features for more information)
  • Production: Mass-Produced.
  • Material:
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Multiple Cell Types: [Each shot has about 4-5 beams unless otherwise stated]
    • Standard - 10 shot capacity
    • Plasma - 20 shot capacity, reduced accuracy
    • Ion - 10 shot capacity
    • High-Volume - 25 shot capacity, reduced damage, and recoil per shot
    • Concentrated - 5 shot capacity, 2-3 beams per shot, increased damage, increased recoil
    • Tensor (Pressor) - non-lethal, 10 shot capacity on normal-output, 5 shot capacity on high-output, single circular beam similar to stun setting, does not use ethaerium gas
  • Multiple Sizes Available: Bore Diameter x Cell Length
    • Standard - 10.4x41mm
    • Large - 10.4x53mm
    • Short -10.4x28mm
      • Different sizes are available upon request.
        • Ex: 18.5x76mm or 18.5x70mm
      • For my Americans out there: the first set is 410 shell size with the length of a .44 caliber round. The second is a 12ga. shell.
STRENGTHS
  • Compact: Drache cells are small and can fit in your hand or pockets or snugly in a bandolier. Their small and compact size allows them to be carried in larger amounts than standard power cells.
  • Diverse Loads: Drache cells are produced with a wide variety of loads for every type of situation, from standard scatterblaster to the high-powered pressor power of the tensor cell.
  • Complete Cell: Unlike some weapons that use separate power cells and gas cylinders, the Drache cells are all-in-one. No need to buy cells and gas, when you're rocking a scatterblaster using these cells.
WEAKNESSES
  • Explosive: Just like any power cell with compressed spin-sealed gas, in this case, ethaerium gas, shooting directly at these cells can cause explosive results.
  • One-Use: Drache cells are one-use. Once you've shot through their allotted shots, the cell becomes inert. Discard or recycle, your choice.
DESCRIPTION
The N&Z Umbrella Corporation's Drache cells are their first foray into scatterweapon technologies. Unamused by traditional scatterblaster's small ammo count, Karl Von Strauss and his EnSol team decided to "reinvent the wheel," so to say.

Drache cells combine a traditional scatterblaster's gas cylinder and power cell into one functional unit. While this limits the number of shots a single Drache cell can make, it allows for increased area on the weapon platform to be used for other technologies. Additionally, the compact size of these cells allows for more of them to be placed into a weapon platform. For example, the weapon that spurred the Drache's invention has a cylinder where four cells can be placed and rotated through. This means that while using standard cells, one cylinder holds forty trigger pulls of scatter energy.

Drache shells are designed with user-friendliness in mind. Swapping out cells is quick and intuitive, offering unparalleled versatility to users in various environments and combat scenarios.

Need to capture rather than kill a target? Try the Tensor cells. Need to kill rather than capture a target? Try the Concentrated cells. Dealing with a lot of droids? Then the Ion cells are for you. Need something to keep the varmints at bay in the Tatooine heat? Then look no further than the High-Volume cells.

In short, the N&Z Umbrella Corporation's Drache cells are more than just a technological reset, they are a testament to innovation, precision, and adaptability. Whether you're a bounty hunter, a mercenary, or just someone looking for a reliable ammunition system, Drache cells are the ultimate choice for modern scatterweapon technology.

PRODUCTION INFORMATION
SPECIAL FEATURES
  • THEMIS is imprinted with the mind and personality of Karl Von Strauss Karl Von Strauss , although gender bent to be female-presenting. This allows the AI to think and act in a way similar to him. It is able to effectively mimic Karl's thought pattern and assist in any processes.
  • As a top-of-the-line N&Z Droid Brain/AI core, it has the ability to easily connect and enslave lower class N&Z droid brains.
  • THEMIS can connect to virtually any computer or similar system.
STRENGTHS
  • THEMIS has immense computational power thanks the the largely untapped technique of using induction within stable, but highly conductive liquid metals that have exceptional material density.
  • Imprinted with the mind of Karl Von Strauss, THEMIS has shown incredible out of the box thinking and the ability to learn from mistakes and grow from them.
  • THEMIS's tactical brilliance, unparalleled data processing, and strategic foresight, allow her to excel in military strategy and battlefield analysis. Her engineering mastery further empowers her to optimize, repair, and enhance critical systems in real time, ensuring peak operational performance, even under the most challenging of conditions.
  • Rapid adaptability to unfamiliar or newly encountered software ensures that while external slicers face increased challenges, THEMIS can effortlessly penetrate and manipulate these systems.
WEAKNESSES
  • When imprinting Karl's mind, THEMIS developed an unusual quirk for an AI: paternal, or in THEMIS's case, maternal instincts. This sometimes drives her to nurture and safeguard organics under her command.
  • While you should never ask a lady her weight, THEMIS is well aware that she must be housed in a specially built chassis.
  • While THEMIS herself is not a toxic or unstable AI, what she is made from is extremely so. If anything were to go wrong, she would essentially become a timebomb.
DESCRIPTION
THEMIS is a one-of-a-kind AI core developed by N&Z EnSol in partnership with the Empire of the Lost's Naval Corps of Engineering. She is uniquely imprinted with the mind and personality of Karl Von Strauss; although, reimagined with a female-presenting persona, allowing her to emulate his brilliant engineering acumen, strategic naval insight, and problem-solving abilities.

Constructed with state-of-the-art materials from N&Z Umbrella Corporation, she epitomizes next-generation AI engineering. Using induction rather than memory crystals allows for THEMIS to be compact, extremely advanced, and act as both an effective AI in her own right or the core/droid brain for a chassis built specifically for her. Her unusual construction makes it hard for slicers to crack her but also makes her quite the effective and adaptable slicer.

THEMIS demonstrates exceptional out-of-the-box thinking and rapid adaptability, allowing her to integrate with and manipulate unfamiliar software with ease. Additionally, she is capable of enslaving numerous lower tier N&Z droid brains. Her tactical brilliance and real-time optimization capabilities make her a master of military strategy and battlefield analysis. However, inheriting Karl's mind also instilled a unique maternal instinct that can lead to overprotectiveness. Overall, THEMIS stands as a formidable fusion of human ingenuity and advanced technology, poised to redefine the boundaries of artificial intelligence in both tactical and engineering domains.

However, unknown to Karl or his engineering team, an engineer loyal to the Lord of Hunger, Credius Nargath, implanted a set of codes. These codes allow the Lord's KRONOS to effectively pause or disrupt THEMIS's actions or out-going orders. Due to her advanced nature, and being around the same level as the the KRONOS, she is unable to be completely controlled.
