STRENGTHS
ISW: or commonly called 'I See Double' is the abbreviation for the accidentally created technology of Ionized Sonic Waves. The Thunderstorm fires a sonic waves which contain dense particles of ion. Sonic waves on their own are renown for their strong capability to disorient or incapacitate a target. They also are capable of cracking armor and are unable to be deflected by lightsabers. Ionizing this sonic waves with Ion-X particles turn these waves into being fully capable of messing up or straight up shutting down all sorts of electronics easily and due to their shaped charge nature they also deliver a good chunk of kinetic energy when they strike.
Speed reload: Quite easy and quick to reload.
WEAKNESSES
Range Deficiency: As a sonic weapon it retains its drawback of shorter range than most other varieties of arms in the galaxy forcing the wielder to draw closer to danger to make full of use of the weapon.
DESCRIPTION
"Innovations are made in basements." - someone, probably.
The quote rings true with the Thunderstorm. Poor ol' Angus Youngun once aspired to be a musician but born in a poor district on Terminus you ain't really got much to pick. Beggars cant be chooser right?
So one day Angus Youngun gets on working on a sonic rifle, right? Being a blackmarket fixer of weapons of sorts or whatever you call 'em, he can be a bit whacked in the head just like the rest of Dash Kessler's pals. He ain't really sure what he was doing with that sonic wave chamber but he stuck up a component of an Ion-X weapon up it not deliberately.
Long story short, thing goes zap and Angus done lost his hearing and done got himself an electrocuted hair cut. What he had discovered in an accident was the ISW, the Ionized Sonic Waves, or commonly referred to as the "I See Double".
With the galaxy full of supplies of equipment capable of shrugging off lightsabers, blasters and bullets like they some sort of paper planes, the Thunderstorm became a hit.
And good ol' Angus?
Retired for life in pension finally being able to pursue his dream of being a musician. The deaf musician on Terminus, they all know 'im down there. He's got a weapon nicknamed after him to. Thunderstorm is a mouthful, you know?
The Angus sounds so much better, right?
