• Affiliation:
  
  • The Kainate
• Market Status: Closed-Market
• Model: Painwave Emitter Mk. I
• Modularity: No
• Production: Limited (Used by select Kainate installations, command vehicles, or terror squads via support drones, vehicle mounts, or tactical drop pods, allowing for field use during assaults, psychological operations, and area suppression.)
• Material:
  
  • Sith Crystal Matrix: A web of low-grade Sith crystals bound through alchemical fusion, designed to broadcast psychic dissonance and emotional disruption without causing physical harm.
  • Alchemized Sarrassian Iron: Serves as the structural frame, reinforced through Sith ritual to withstand intense energy discharge.
  • Pain-Amplifier Crystals: Synthetic crystals alchemized to resonate with agony, used to modulate and focus non-lethal pain fields.
  • Sith Rune Circuitry: Etched with dark side sigils that channel metaphysical energy and bind the emitter's functions to its operator's will.

• Agony Pulse Projectors: Emits waves of focused, non-lethal pain energy across a designated radius. These pulses bypass physical armor, targeting neural receptors and overwhelming the pain centers of the brain.
• Emotion Disruption Field: Temporarily clouds enemy judgment and coordination through sensory overload. The effect often induces confusion, disorientation, or irrational decisions during combat operations.
• Psychic Residue Trail: Leaves lingering fear and discomfort in affected zones. Even after deactivation, residual dark side energy can cause anxiety, unease, and reluctance to re-enter the area.
• Force-Based Emitter Core: Powered by Sith rituals to weaponize the agony field. The core acts as a metaphysical amplifier, drawing on ambient darkness to sustain the emitter's function.

• Area Denial: Forces enemies to vacate affected zones or risk incapacitation. The pain field creates a hostile environment too overwhelming for prolonged presence, effectively sealing off territory without physical barriers.
• Panic Inducer: Breaks unit cohesion and morale during active pulses. Troops subjected to the emitter often scatter, scream, or flee in disarray, making coordinated defense or offense nearly impossible.
• Ritual Amplification: Can be enhanced when linked to dark side nexuses or rituals. When empowered through Sith rites or spellweave relays, the emitter's range and intensity can double, turning it into a psychic storm.

• No Direct Damage: Does not physically harm or kill targets. This makes it ineffective against heavily armored enemies who can endure the pain or push through with sufficient willpower.
• Force Nullification: Loses power in Force-dead zones, ysalamiri, etc. The emitter relies on ambient Force energy to function; in null zones, it becomes inert and useless.
• Friendly Fire Risk: Can affect allies if not shielded or properly calibrated. Improper use may incapacitate friendly units caught within its radius, making tactical placement critical.
• Large Signature: Emits distinct metaphysical pulses detectable by Force-sensitives. This makes it easy for Jedi, Sith, and other Force users to sense its activation and potentially counter it.

Forged deep beneath Malsheem's war foundries, the Painwave Emitter Mk. I is a new weapon of psychological warfare. One of the latest forays into the utilization, and exploitation of pain. Instead of destroying flesh, it targets the mind, emitting waves of non-lethal but overwhelming agony that send enemies reeling. Originally developed by the Shadow Mind led by the Shadow Hand of the Kainate Darth Prazutis in collaboration with Kainate alchemists brought to the project, the Emitter saturates battlefields with pain, breaking formations without a single shot fired.

Though it does not maim, it is terrifying. The agonizing pulses distort senses, muddle coordination, and leave a psychic stain behind. When enhanced by Sith rituals or spellweave links, the pain can become borderline paralyzing, especially to those sensitive to the Force. However, it is useless in void zones or areas protected by Light and must be used carefully to avoid affecting Kainate forces caught in its path.
