CCA-01 CHISS CHARRIC ASSAULT RIFLE
- Intent: To create a generic charric assault rifle for the Chiss Ascendancy.
- Image Source: Star Citizen weapon design
- Canon Link: Charric
- Restricted Missions: N/A
- Primary Source: Charric Blaster Rifle
- Manufacturer: Chiss Ascendancy
- Model: CCA-01
- Affiliation: Chiss Ascendancy
- Modularity: Yes; canon or sub attachments (such as scopes or grips) able to be used
- Production: Mass-Produced
- Material: Durasteel, ostrine barrel and chamber, maser-particle firing components
- Classification: Chiss Charric Assault Rifle
- Size: Average
- Weight: Light
- Ammunition Type: Power pack
- Ammunition Capacity: 50 (power pack), 20 (EM-Charge)
- Reload Speed: Average
- Effective Range: Average (optimal ≤120m for precision fire)
- Rate of Fire: Low (semi or 3-round burst)
- Stopping Power: Very High
- Recoil: High
- Charric blaster bolts utilizing maser-tech
- Very accurate
- Electric shock to metallic armors
- Stun setting (EM-Charge)
- Unable to be reflected by lightsabers
- Charric blaster bolts offer both thermal and kinetic damage, and carry enormous impact per bolt - especially against lightsabers or deflecting weapons.
- Very accurate weapon, due to the improved firing systems of Charric weaponry compared to standard blasters.
- Metallic armors receive an electric shock with each hit, capable of disrupting the wearer briefly if not protected against such damage.
- Able to utilize a personal range stun setting, which deactivates charric bolts and utilizes EM-Charges, capable of affecting neurological patterns in most sentients.
- Charric bolts are unable to be reflected by lightsabers, resulting in increased difficulty defending when under fire from this type of weapon.
- Lessened ammunition capacity compared to standard blaster rifles, due to higher powered bolts.
- Lessened maximum range compared to standard blaster rifles, due to higher bolt particle dissipation over distance.
- Insulated metallic armors will not be affected by electric shock per bolt, making that bolt attribute redundant.
- EM-Charge stun works on a neurological pattern principal, and may require additional shots to bring down bigger opponents compared to standard stun settings.
- Unable to maintain rapid auto-fire like other blaster rifles, due to higher powered bolts.
- Recoil is higher than standard blaster rifles, due to kinetic discharge per bolt.
A standard charric assault rifle created for use within the Chiss Ascendancy, which utilizes advanced maser-particle firing systems that fires blue beams, and includes cooling materials to avoid overheating. Unlike standard blaster weapons, the charric bolts offer increased thermal and kinetic damage, as well as electrical shock to non-insinuated metallic armors, and are unable to be reflected by lightsabers. Additionally, the enormous impact per bolt allows for opponents defending with deflection capable weapons to be physically worn down with repeated attack, with some Jedi and Sith even outright losing their grasp on lightsabers.
Due to the improved nature of the bolts, the weapons accuracy is very high. Due to the higher particle and kinetic energy of each bolt, the effective range has been improved, but the ammunition capacity has been decreased - compared to standard blaster rifles of a similar type. Also, the maximum range for a charric weapon is shorter than other standard blaster rifles, and this loss over distance can be dangerous if unaccounted for during combat, and should be kept in mind at all times by Chiss soldiers.
Additionally, the green beam EM-Charge of the stun setting can only be used at personal range effectively, up to 20m, and functions in a way that disrupts neurological patterns directly, resulting in rapid loss of consciousness. However larger opponents may require additional shots of the EM-Charge, to account for a lack of effect to the body itself that most standard stun settings possess.
All in all, the CCA-01 Chiss Charric Assault Rifle is a versatile weapon capable of providing a well-rounded, if stronger, blaster-like weapon for the soldiers of the Chiss Ascendancy.
