Seeking a ranged weapon, Alixandra commissioned the Guild of Armourer's to forge her a unique pistol sized crossbow that could launch bolts with the power of the Sun. To that end, The Artemis Crossbow draws heavily from the Helius battle rifle. By combining a Rylith-crystal enhanced power source and Starburst Crystal focusing lenses, the weapon is capable of turning spun Tibana Gas into Solarized Plasma. The four arms swing inwards and then down to lower the weapon's profile when holstered.
