The Maher is part of Primo Victorian’s efforts to modernize and reinvigorate its energy weapons lineup. Expanding on the basic principles of the Blackmaw the Maher is built with the new Canarocite ore, in addition to bringing over the cooling matrix that features the Boreas Crystal. The Maher will also utilize a synthetic kyber focusing crystal, eliminating its inherent Force properties.
As part of the new line up the Maher is designed to excel at long-range combat. The very idea of reach out and touch someone. Maher does so with great efficiency, hitting harder than many of the heavy turbolasers in its class. Part of this is the new Canarocite Ore which amplifies the beam’s strength and duration. Another part is the cooling matrix that features the Boreas Crystal, drawing heat away from crucial components and keeping them cooler, for longer periods of time.
Finally, the beams’ focus is on par if not better than other heavy turbolasers in its class. This is thanks to its synthetic kyber focusing crystal that is shaped specifically for various tasks. In this particular case, shaped to create a more cohesive beam that pacts particles tightly giving a clean hit with less decay and loss as it reaches the extent of the Maher’s range. The kyber focusing crystals also lead to an improved recharge rate, and when coupled with the cooling matrix chambers the recharge rate is thus improved further.
This heavy turbolaser is designed to hit at long range and makes use of magnetic dissipators, focusing coils, galven coils along with particle accelerator beams that line the interior of the turbolaser’s barrel. The beams lay beneath the coils working to do exactly as it is named to accelerate the plasma particles after they’ve been converted from their gas state. This adds to the why and the how the Maher is able to hit as hard as it does.
