DESCRIPTION

The Phalanx Republic was designed and developed by the Department of Research and Development at the Denon Academy of Science in 856 ABY. The device was then patented and licensed for sale to select customers through ATC Liana. The weapon was eventually made available for special purchase through the DAS marshal agents catalogue and the ATC special collections log.

The weapon was built as a compact disruptor pistol for use within close quarters battle. This design was modernized by building the barrel and energy emitters out of specialized iron alloy and then shielding it during firing. The most notable down side of the device was the low ammunition capacity and a shorter effective range than most weapons.

This weapon is rated for military service for five years and parts and repairs will be kept on hand by ATC Liana for the next ten years.

Shield Penetration - This weapon ignores personal energy shields of all types and redundancies within 50 meters.

In general, I don't like to see blanket statements explaining how other people's tech is absolutely going to be treated by a submission.

1) It looks like calling a hit
2) It doesn't take into account that someone might design a future sub specifically in response to better protect himself against this very sub.

As a suggestion, I might rephrase this part as "designed to penetrate personal energy shields..." to show the intent of the sub without dictating to an opponent what will happen.

[member="Gir Quee"] - "Ignore shields" has been changed to "Bonus damage versus shields". Good suggestion.

Actually, that benefit doesn't make much sense in retrospect. So I've decided to eliminate it entirely.
