Made from a standard blaster sniple rifle, this weapon is very accurate over long ranges. The ammunition assembly, comprising a gas canister and a power cell, provides ammunition for up to twenty-five shots. The alchemical enhancements are twofold: the weapon is rendered lightsaber-resistant and also confers to its user the ability to predict the target's actions for up to five seconds in the future via its alchemical property to use battle precognition while in battle, with the addition of a collapsible bipod allowing the user to stabilize the weapon when used from behind cover or in a prone position, and a 360-degree magnifying scope. Although this weapon is ideal for any sniper, it is not without its drawbacks - being relatively unusable in short and personal distances due to being built specifically for sniping enemy targets from extreme distances and cumbersome to carry while on the move, made worse by the addition of a 360-degree scope and a collapsible bipod, adding to the weapon's weight. In addition, a sniper using the weapon in close proximity to Force-nullifiers will find that its Force-properties are nullified.
