DESCRIPTION

Since rejoining the greater galactic community, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has been encountering Force-Sensitives in far larger numbers than anticipated. Men like Ronhar Tane have found themselves face to face with both Jedi and Sith, oftentimes engaging in personal combat with them. To effectively fight these threats, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has begun investing in anti-force technologies, producing a number of different weapons that are specifically tailored to take down Jedi and Sith.

Unfortunately, because they are so specialized, anti-force weapons may not always have any additional applications outside of fighting other force users. To address this issue, the Imperial Remnant as developed the AAF-8 Scattergun. Because it is both a Slugthrower and a Scatter gun, the AAF-8 is capable of utilizing a variety of different ammunition types, such as Buckshot, Metallic slugs, Flechettes and many others. In particular, the weapon's ability to use Micro-grenades makes it a versatile and dangerous weapon.

That being said, the weapon does have a number of disadvantages. It is heavy, has a short range, low rate of fire and limited magazine capacity. Knowing how to best use the weapon in spite of it weaknesses will allow its user to get the most out of the AAF-8 Scattergun, whether fighting force users or non-force users, and the weapon remains downright lethal in the right hands.
