Intent: A Powerful weapon for personal use, as well as a standard for future technology which will also implement its theme.
Development Thread: [6-7000 words]
Manufacturer: Orphen Sathariel.
Model: D-Pattern æthim Super Charric Gauntlet
Affiliation: The Jedi / Republic.
Modularity: None.
Production: Unique (Custom Commission)
Material: Durasteel Alusteel alloy plating/ framing, quantum computer parts, AI receiver, Charrik parts, Diatium power Cells, EM Lens, Insulation materials.
Classification: Charric
Size: Handheld.
Length: 40.6cm
Weight: 2.9kg
Ammunition Type: 4 Small Diatium Power Cells + 2 Microwave Charged blaster Gas Canister.
Ammunition Capacity: The weapon, though powerful, has an exceedingly low ammunition count. Capable of firing 6 full strength rays or up to a maximum of 24 singular blasts before needing to reload the blaster gas canisters. The Diatium Cells have enough power to charge a maximum of 24 full power rays and 96 singular blasts before the need to recharge.
Maximum Effective Range: 400m (Ray) 250m (Bast)
Rate of Fire: One Full strength Ray is capable of being fired once every 20 seconds. While Singular blasts can be fired once every 5 seconds.
Special Features:
- Powerful hand held weapon capable of feats of armour destruction on par with common blast doors.
- Full Strength Rays are a beam which last 1 second before fading, allowing them to concentrate on a single target or be swept in an arc.
- Single shots can be fired lasting 1/4 of a second, though less destructive, they are powerful, and conserve ammunition.
- The weapon is semi-robotic, aiding in recoil control and calibration.
- The weapon is compatible with Orphen's combat AI, allowing him to use Alpha to control the firing trigger and help with calibration and aiming.
Creation:
The D-Pattern æthim Super Charric Gauntlet is the product of months of hard work by Orphen Sathariel to create an accurate and powerful anti-personnel and light armour gauntlet capable of ripping into most larger opponents on a battlefield. After studying the similarities between the Chiss Charric technology and the Blaster technology used by much of the rest of the Galaxy, he had the hypothesis that the Super Laser technology employed as mining tech, and as powerful artillery, was capable of being used on a much smaller scale, and with the superior technology of the Chiss, set out to accomplish it. Reveling in his creation and becoming more and more excited over time, he created a prototype Super-Charric with components bought from a Chiss Alienage/ Space Station in the outer rim. Proving to himself that the Technology was possible. Over the next many weeks Orphen worked on studying technology and means to best optimize smaller components than what were used in his prototype, sacrificing some of the power for the original though knowing the end result, with 6 beams will still create a wave density capable of being greater than the mere sum of its parts. Through hard work, and many failures, he eventually succeeded.
Functions:
The functions of the weapon beginning with the frame, the Gauntlet is made of 2 separate parts, the interior glove, and the exterior glove. The interior glove is where the user's hand is, and this has little more than the motion sensors which allow the glove to move in time with the user's hand, the 2 separate fitted connections is to create some degree of a buffer when the weapon fires, the robotics, with their capacity to flex, recoil when the weapon is fired, as each of the gloves digits only need to buffer the recoil of each of the 6 smaller lasers, this results with the wearer being able to handle what would otherwise be enough force to shatter their arm ( However the force of recoil still remains significant. ) as well as give the sophisticated weapon some sturdiness. The outer layer of the glove is robotic, as the alignment of the beams is too precise for the user to be able to attempt to create with their own hands, when the AI is commanded to weaponize the gauntlet, the robotic hand arranges itself into the correct position, and locks itself there, making it able to align the beams and fire properly, performing a single calibration check as the charric charges. Finally, the function of the AI is a rather simple one, being compatible with the Gauntlet allows for other calibration checks as well as diagnostics on the weapon, as well as being able to control a safety switch which forcefully ejects the diatium cells and the blaster gas casing in case of rupture...
The weapon itself fires by creating 6 sapphire blue beams; one from each of the gauntlet's fingers and another from just under the palm, combining over the user's palm where the EM lens is placed. Here they combine into a powerful beam and fires it forward in either a ray, which lasts 1 second, or a blast which lasts 1/4 of a second. The charged gas is stored at the backs of the fingers with a flood-gate like system before they are released to ensure near simultaneous emission.
Power:
1/4 Second Blast: The smaller blast has the kinetic energy to crack into a target, and assuming the blast did not penetrate it would throw a grown man multiple meters backwards, impact with the blast creates a wave like ripple effect on impact as the energy disperses, lingering as the blast fires like a comets tails. The power of this blast is capable of rending through most heavy infantry armours unless they are of the highest quality and even then, the kinetic force of the combined charrics is capable of twisting steel alone with its physical force.
1 Second Ray: The far more deadly application, a direct hit from the full 1 second long concentrated Ray is capable of ripping holes into light vehicle armour like a laser drill with the kinetic force behind it to flip an average sized speeder or rip it in two. A direct hit to an average to low quality blast door is known to be able to warp its steel, rip its hinges or even tear a hole through it. The user, if they decide to sweep the beam in an arc, enemies caught would suffer the damage similar to the 1/4 second blast due to the low exposure time.
