SPECIAL FEATURES
- A dart capable of disrupting an individual's connection to the Force, through the administration of Ixetal cilona
- Has two modes of substance delivery: Direct injection or vapor dispersion
- Tough, Sharp & Balanced: The dart has durasteel bonding and a mono-molecular tip, allowing it to remain incredibly sharp and capable of piercing up to heavy armor grade. Also, for maximum projectile range and accuracy, internal gyro-stablization components are used (60m). This is only really effective against common materials, and the puncturing power of the dart is significantly lowered against rarer metals/materials.
- No Blood Flow: To maximize the flow of Ixetel cilona in the blood or circulatory system, the points are coagulant-treated to stop blood flow and the substance leaking out of the wound
- Vapor Dispersion: The dispersion components allow the user to select vapor delivery method, which can be activated either by hitting a solid object or using the associated dart launcher to manually disperse thick gas within several square meters of the release point; the gaseous vapor can then be inhaled or absorbed through exposed skin
- Heavy Piercing: To maximize piercing capability to heavy armor types, the armor must be within 10m, otherwise it simply won't puncture despite the mono-molecular tip
- Blockable: The darts can be destroyed, diverted or otherwise through various means (such as the Force or vibro-weapons); lightsabers may still have difficulty blocking the solid projectile
- Maximum Range: The dart loses stability and accuracy beyond 60m, and also the function to manually activate the vapor delivery method
- Low Ammunition: Depending on the dart launcher, ammunition is generally very low (typically a max of 3)
- Long Reload: Each dart has to be reloaded into the dart launcher manually, and carefully, so as to avoid injection
When a client of Kryss Industries placed a request for a dart capable of hindering Force Users, the techs had to sift through a lot of information to finally narrow down options. It was determined that Ixetal cilona, one of the key ingredients in Death Sticks, had been reported in the past as having an 'adverse effect on one's ability to use the Force, greatly weakening one's connection with ingestion'. Using this as a basis, and even paying several Force-Sensitives to take part in experimental trials, the techs discovered the claim to be valid. When injected, the effects lasted for around two (2) hours; when inhaled or absorbed through exposed skin, or species equivalents, it lasted around thirty (20) minutes.
Working on the small components for the dart were simple enough, and really only required several counter-weighted gyros, basic durasteel bonding and a mono-molecular point to assist in strengthening the dart for piercing, achieving penetration grades of up to high armor at close ranges (10m or less), but only medium armor at maximum ranges.
Dispersion method was important. Not everything could be pierced. So the techs worked on integrating two types of delivery, including the standard injection, and a vapor component. The latter involved housing a small sensor that reacted to solid impact, or manual activation, by injecting a chemical component into the Ixetal cilona liquid, and rapidly expanding it through a gaseous reaction. The results were a cloud of substance delivery that could cover several meters and be inhaled and absorbed through exposed skin.
Numerous tests were completed, and the dart was approved for minor closed-market production.
