STRENGTHS

Outstanding Close-range Lethality - The AT-SC1 is designed to produce dense, high-impact bolts that are capable of punching through light cover within close range.

Excellent Handling - Designed to be short in length and with a balanced mass make these weapons easier to shoulder, clear corners, and utilize in the tight confines such as buildings or starship corridors.

Quick-swap Power Packs - Though able to recharge its power packs, the AT-SC1 was also designed with a quick-swap power cell to allow for faster reloads, and its use of universal power packs means these cells are widely available on many planetary markets.

Modular Accessory Rail - Designed with an accessory rail that accepts scopes, vibro-knife bayonets, underbarrel tools, and compact grenade modules without compromising the overall balance of the weapon.

​

WEAKNESSES

Short Effective Range - The AT-SC1 is optimized for close work; its accuracy and blaster bolt degradation increase substantially beyond 120 meters, making it less than ideal for engagements beyond this limit.

Heat Management - Utilizing the higher burst rates can cause rapid heating in the barrel and emitter nozzle that may cause long-term damage or result in potential destruction of the weapon despite being equipped with cooling modules.

Component Quality - These weapons rely heavily on precision and high-quality components that require regular maintenance and care - damage or degradation due to lack of maintenance can cause blaster bolt spread and misfires in the weapon.

Armored Target Penetration - Though capable of punching through light cover within a close range, these weapons cannot penetrate heavier armor or armor most commonly installed on vehicles.

DESCRIPTION

The Aether AT-SC1 is a short-ranged blaster carbine that is Aether Technologies' flagship entry into the compact-weapons market - a section long dominated by budget holdout pistols and stripped-down carbines of dubious reliability. Designed with the chaotic realities of boarding actions, starship corridors, and urban combat, the AT-SC1 distinguishes itself with a highly modular, ruggedized design philosophy. Though it will never compete with full infantry-grade repeaters at long range, the AT-SC1 is beginning to earn a reputation among security teams, smugglers, and independent militias as a dependable, hard-hitting close-quarters combat tool with sophisticated engineering under the hood. Though beloved in tight quarters, its limitations become clear beyond 120 meters as bolt integrity degrades rapidly, and heat accumulation becomes an issue during prolonged automatic fire. Constructed primarily from Bondite wrapped in a Manganese shell, these weapons were engineered to endure rough conditions. The modular accessory rail allows for a range of attachments: compact holosights, motion-assisted reflex optics, foregrips, underbarrel tools, or even small breaching charge launchers. The AT-SC1's form factor makes it easy to sling across the back, tuck into a starship locker, or carry as a secondary weapon for scouts who need something punchier than a Blaster Pistol. However, these weapons are known for requiring regular maintenance and care due to the high-quality components that were utilized in production - damage and degradation of the prismatic crystal housing, among other components, can occur, resulting in blaster bolt spread and misfires in the weapon. The design of the AT-SC1 also includes a quick-swap power cell - first utilized in the design of the AT-S7 - that allows the power cell to be ejected and replaced with a single thumb movement for those instances when recharging the power pack is not viable. Aether Technologies deliberately adopted a widely universal power pack, ensuring that crews on the Outer Rim could resupply with local cells rather than relying on corporate-exclusive models. Additional universal components, such as compressed tibanna-gas canisters and replaceable crystal cartridges, made maintenance simple for field technicians - provided the carbine is cleaned and calibrated periodically, it maintains excellent performance. Ultimately, the AT-SC1 is what a short-ranged blaster carbine should be - compact, efficient, extraordinarily effective in close quarters, and built to survive the harsh environments of a galaxy where every corridor could lead to a firefight. It is not a precision rifle, nor is it a heavy repeater. It is a tool for the spaces between starship bulkheads, the press of a city alley, or the chaos of a boarding bridge - where speed matters more than range and where one well-placed bolt can decide the outcome between life and death.
