DESCRIPTION
A powerful yet low-tech bow that takes advantage of Kivah’s strength to silently fire large arrows. With an inordinately heavy pull and compound pulleys, the bow is capable of firing an arrow further and with a greater momentum than most regular bows, only falling behind some powered bows such as the bowcaster and plasma bow. Kivah adapted to this by making a multitude of ammunition types with a wide variety of effects from non-lethal to small disruptor charges that disintegrate targets, as well as others that provide some sort of utility effect.

During her Kor'ethyr initiation trials, Kivah broke the traditional hunting bow her father gifted her. In the following days she planned out this replacement. Using the labs and fabrication machines available to the students, she constructed and tested a variety of bows before settling on this one. Molytex over duralloy construction provides strength and prevents it from breaking as easily a second time. Because of the unpowered nature of the bow, it doesn’t show up on most area or ranged scanners, such as weapons scanners or ones that’d detect a power source. This is further enhanced by a coating of shadowskin across the bow and lining the quiver to hide the arrows within. Over time and occasionally with input from other students, Kivah began to develop additional arrow types, testing their innovation and exploring technology and tricks learned during her studies. She chose to call it a Miraraya Bow for its envisioned role in quiet ambushes.

Arrow Types

• Broad Head: A cross-headed arrow spring-loaded to project out razored prongs after piercing a target to create additional wound channels. Pulling the arrow out or pushing it through without medical aid is a near impossibility without making the entry wound much worse.
• Disruptor*: Tipped with a small disruptor bomb with a 1.5 meter radius.
• Explosive: A simple Deuterium charge that detonates on impact.
• EMP*: Kivah’s anti-droid/anti-tech arrow, it burns out after a few uses but is completely silent.
• Fear: Pitched above known sentient hearing ranges, induces fear and panic responses in a 20 meter radius as well as a general sense of unease.
• Incendiary: Bursts into a cloud of fire that ignites flammable materials in a 5 meter radius.
• Ionite Dust: Disperses a cloud of Ionite dust at the point of impact that ruins electronics and drains shields. As dust, it tends to cling to surfaces and charged fields.
• Sonic*: A tunable sonic charge capable of either emitting a painfully loud tone continuously over a wide area or exploding with the force of a grenade.
• Stun: Works similarly to any other contact stun weapon.
• Smoke: Explodes in a cloud of thermal smoke that obstructs vision and thermal sensors. Will obscure an area for a full minute unless swept away by wind. May last longer in an enclosed space.
• Phase: A 10 centimeter razor-sharp molecular field activates right before impact that cuts with devastating effect. The emitter burns out after a few seconds.
• Poison: A broad head arrow that's coated with poison. Must cut a target to deliver its load.
• Toxin*: Disperses a compressed toxic gas at its impact site. Covers a 3 meter radius.
• Blood-Poison: A duranium spike meant to pierce armors and impregnated with powdered Devaronium Blood Poison. Causes extreme blinding pain on skin contact and may enter the bloodstream, spreading the effect throughout the body as the poison spreads.
• Tracker: Places a sticky and magnetic tracker to a target before the shaft falls away.
• Short-Range Jammer: Jams personal comms and degrades more powerful units over a 250 meter radius for about an hour.

* These arrows contain an accelerometer that measures the distance an arrow has covered and will prevent them from detonating at an unsafe range from where they were fired. Will also trigger them if abruptly stopped or deflected, as if by the Force or impact.
