Created and manufactured solely by Izanami Ironworks, the Kiyohime-class Blaster Rifle is the standard-issue blaster rifle for the Inari Shogunate and the Shadow Dynasty. Blaster technology depends on not only the energizing of electromagnetic radiation, but also the compression and focusing of it into a high-energy particle-beam. There are currently two designs in which this process of compression and focusing is accomplished: the plasma-based design and the particle beam-based design. The Kiyohime-class Blaster Rifle relies on the latter, which allows for a more efficient and accurate blaster rifle. However, unlike other blasters rifles relying on the particle beam-based design, the Kiyohime-class is in fact much more inefficient, due to the fact that a greater amount of energy is utilized to further energize the blaster 'bolt' during the excitement of the tibanna-gas.
Initially, a small amount of compressed tibanna gas is moved from the Heter valve and into the XCiter chamber, which energizes the gas further with the power pack. Then, the actuating blaster module, assisted by components in the hadrium blaster barrel, processes the extremely high-energy gas into a compressed beam of intense energy particles, coupled together with intense electromagnetic radiation, to generate an energized particle beam. The electromagnetic radiation provides the structure to the tibanna gas, allowing it to retain its shape after being propelled outside of the blaster.
However, the Kiyohime-class Blaster Rifle possessed a much longer firing chamber than traditional blasters: instead of other firing chambers which have a larger chamber, allowing for wider and broader energy beams, a longer firing chambers allows for a longer blaster beam. The intent of this is to create a greater piercing capacity of the Kiyohime-class Blaster Rifle as well as increase its damage output. However, in order to accommodate this increase in damage and piercing capacity as well as retain a fast rate of fire, a significantly greater amount of energy is required.
