- Fires a beam of ionized energy.
- An alternate mode expense all the energy in the Mithras to generate an EMP.
- Fires a beam of ionized energy capable of disabling any electronics that it hits, its includes computer systems, droids, vehicles or even cybernetics.
- Can use up all it's energy to create a 10m emp field around it.
- The Mithras' shot can stagger organics temporarily if hit.
- Only does EMP damage, while electronics and computers might end up fried, the Mithras is unable to damage armour or other solid surfaces.
- Low Rate of fire makes it hard to use the Mithras as your only weapon in a fight.
The Mithras Blaster was an evolution of Locke and Key's drive towards miniaturization, creating a series of weapons that could either be used as part of a suit of armour, a suite of cybernetics or attached to another weapon.
The increased number of droids and power armour which had started to populate the battlefields of the galaxy Locke and Key realised that they needed to be able to field an ion-based weapon. The Mithras was the culmination of this drive, a weapon small and versatile enough to be used in any scenario, but capable of packing a powerful punch, capable of allowing it's user to throw an additional surprise at their enemies when they didn't expect it.
The Mithras was a standard ion blaster, the smaller size resulting in a slower firing rate but allowing Locke and Key to increase the power of the blast. The engineers were never able to leave well enough alone, and added a secondary function to the weapon. The ability to expend all the energy stored in the weapon to create an EMP blast with a radius of 10m centred on the weapon. A nasty surprise for anyone who might be relying on electronics in a fight.
