STRENGTHS

High Close-Range Firepower & Rate-of-Fire - The pulse-fire design of the AT-P1 allows for rapid follow-up shots - useful in close-quarters combat, surprise attacks, or suppressive fire. Against unarmored or lightly armored targets, this makes the AT-P1 very dangerous.

Compact and Concealable - A small, compact pistol form makes it easy to hide or carry discreetly, useful for undercover operatives, bounty hunters, smugglers, or anyone needing a backup weapon.

Low Recoil & Maneuverability - Recoil is minimal, allowing quick aiming and rapid bursts, making the AT-P1 effective in the tight confines of corridors, starship interiors, and close-quarters engagements.

Versatile Ammo and Power Cell Options - As with many blasters recently designed by Aether Technologies, the power packs and gas cannisters can be swapped out easily with the flick of a thumb; users can carry extra packs and cannisters to extend combat readiness. This also allows the easy installation of aftermarket overcharged or high-output power packs for more destructive bolts - at greater heat buildup.

​

WEAKNESSES

Limited Effective Range - Because of the shorter barrel and compact design, blaster bolt coherence degrades quickly. At anything beyond close range - within or under thirty meters - accuracy and damage drop sharply. This makes the AT-P1 ill-suited for open-field fights or long-range engagements.

Overheating Risks - Sustained automatic or burst firing generates significant heat in the weapon that may overcome the cooling systems installed in the weapon. Without sufficient time to allow for cooling, the weapon can overheat - causing jams, failures such as misfires, or even damage to the user.

Lower Per-Bolt Power - Due to the compact design and the rapid fire, each blaster bolt produced by the weapon causes moderate damage rather than maximum destructive power; heavy armor and energy shields can easily resist or deflect the blaster bolts produced, making it more effective against individuals with no armor or who are lightly-armored.

Power Cell & Gas Consumption - Rapid-fire bursts consume the power packs and tibanna gas cartridges more quickly compared to similarly sized blaster pistols. Without spare packs, the pistol becomes useless, quickly.

DESCRIPTION

The AT-P1 is a compact, short-ranged blaster pistol manufactured by Aether Technologies, designed for operatives who need a discreet yet powerful sidearm in close-quarters engagements. Compact, easy to carry, and concealable under a coat or inside a holster - it trades long-range performance for close-range effectiveness and has a higher rate of fire than a standard single-shot blaster pistol. The AT-P1 is capable of firing rapid, successive blaster bolts - in either short bursts or a fully-automatic firing mode - that is known to cause overheating when sustained for prolonged lengths of time. Because of the significant heat that is generated with sustained use, time is needed to allow for cooling; otherwise, the weapon will overheat - causing jams, failures such as misfires, or even damage to the user. The compact design and shortened barrel - great for concealability - means that it is more limited than a standard blaster rifle, and blaster bolt coherence degrades quickly over range, limiting the AT-P1 to close-quarters engagements. A compact Tibanna-gas cartridge and universal power packs fuel the weapon, delivering consistent bolt strength while allowing quick reloads through a quick-swap ejection system that has featured in other blasters that were recently designed and produced by Aether Technologies. The AT-P1 also features a low-profile iron sight along the top edge, while also housing a universal accessory rail - located on the underside - that, while short, is compatible with most civilian and military attachments. The trigger guard is also oversized, with the design choice being deliberate to accommodate use when wearing bulkier gloves such as those a Starfighter Pilot might wear. An optional non-lethal stun setting was also included in the design, allowing an individual to incapacitate a target rather than kill. The AT-P1 also borrows a design element from the larger AT-XT5 and has access panels, which allow the rapid inspection of the internal components, making maintenance and cleaning of the weapon easier. Designed for undercover agents, bounty hunters, smugglers, and urban combat units, the weapon's short barrel keeps it highly maneuverable, but limits its effective range. Despite this limitation, at close range, the weapon excels thanks to minimal recoil, burst-fire mode, and ease of concealment - it is a dangerous tool in tight corridors, alleys, and boarding actions. Compact, fast, and unforgiving at close range, the AT-P1 fills a unique niche; a reliable, concealable blaster designed to end a fight in the time it takes most pistols to fire a single bolt.
