• Launches corrupted energy projectiles known as Soulfire Bolts.
• Bolts carry a metaphysical payload that phases through conventional shields to affect organic targets inside vessels.
• Emits psychic resonance upon proximity or impact, causing disorientation, nausea, unconsciousness, or spirit displacement in living beings.
• Exceptionally effective against Force-sensitives, with the potential to eject consciousness from their bodies.
• Immune to conventional electronic countermeasures, such as jamming or ion/EMP disruptions, operates via primarily Sith sorcery, not most conventional technology.
• Ineffective against non-organics, such as droids or AI-controlled systems, which are unaffected by psychic effects.

• Spiritual Disruption: Attacks minds and souls directly, bypassing armor and shields in some cases. Victims often collapse without a scratch on them, their bodies intact but their spirits shattered.
• Anti-Force Weapon: Particularly effective against Force users and spiritually attuned beings. Even seasoned Jedi Masters have found their connection to the Force severed mid-battle, lost in a void of silence and horror.
• Crew Breaker: Can disable entire crews or cause panic/insanity with only a few direct hits. Entire bridges have gone quiet after a single salvo, officers weeping, screaming, or staring blankly into the void.
• Difficult to Block: Effects are metaphysical in nature and cannot be intercepted conventionally. No shield, no hull, no defense system stops the scream behind the scream—the one only the soul hears.

• Slow Firing: Requires recharge between volleys due to the ritual energy involved. This makes it ill-suited for fast-paced fleet engagements, demanding careful timing and coordination to maximize impact.
• Ineffective vs. Droids & Ships: Causes minimal damage to physical structures and non-living systems. Against inorganic opponents, its fearsome presence becomes little more than a ghostly lightshow, unable to harm systems without a soul.
• Requires Ritual Integration: Cannot be used independently of dark side infrastructure or personnel. The weapon relies on synchronized sorcerous guidance, without ritualists or Sith-tuned control nodes, it falls inert and blind.
• Can Be Reflected by Force Light or Mental Shields: Some Jedi/Light-aligned defenses can resist or block its psychic effects.
• Force Nullification: In areas affected by Force-nullifying effects (such as Ysalamiri fields or Void Stones), the weapon's metaphysical potency is dampened. While still able to fire, its psychic effects are significantly reduced, making it less effective against Force-sensitives and organic targets.

The Soulfire Bolt Emplacement is a nightmarish Sith sorcery weapon designed for psychological and metaphysical warfare. Forged deep within the depths of Malsheem and refined in the dark crucibles of Nexul Station, the emplacement launches corrupted energy projectiles known as Soulfire Bolts, a manifestation of condensed dark side emotion, rage, and sacrificial essence.

Unlike conventional turbolasers or disruptors, Soulfire Bolts do not target matter, but spirit. Upon impact, these bolts release an eruption of psychic force that floods ships with waves of madness, despair, and fear. Crew members may collapse, go catatonic, or suffer partial soul separation. Force users struck directly can experience temporary disconnection from the Force, or even full spirit ejection, leaving their bodies vulnerable.

Due to the metaphysical precision required to launch these weapons, Soulfire Emplacements are ritual-bound to Sith sorcerers or control nodes and must recharge between volleys. They are not weapons of destruction, but instruments of terror, used to silence bridges, break elite squads, or clear ships without leaving visible damage.

They are not meant to kill, but to make enemies wish they were dead.
