DESCRIPTION

Since rejoining the greater galactic community, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has been encountering Force-Sensitives in far larger numbers than anticipated. Men like Ronhar Tane have found themselves face to face with both Jedi and Sith, oftentimes engaging in personal combat with them. To effectively fight these threats, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has begun investing in anti-force technologies, producing a number of different weapons that are specifically tailored to take down Jedi and Sith.

The EGR-16 represents the culmination of months of research and development by the Imperial Remnant in anti-force technology. Developed specifically for use by Salvage Team Six, the EGR-16 is capable of engaging a variety of different threats within a number of different scenarios, making it a true "jack of all trades" type weapon. The secret to the weapon's versatility lies in its construction and preferred ammunition type, as the EGR-16 can be classified as both a Magrifle and a Magnetic accelerator type weapon.

This allows the EGR-16 to fire its Mag-pellet ammunition with varying velocities, enabling the weapon to either shoot nearly silently or to fire with increased stopping power. This, coupled with the Mag-pellets ability to home in on and track metal targets and the EGR-16's impressive rate of fire makes the EGR-16 a highly capable weapon, especially against force users whose enhanced speed and reflexes might otherwise pose problems.

Nonetheless, the EGR-16's greatest strengths are also its main weaknesses, as the weapon's prestigious rate of fire and ability to lock onto metal targets greatly increases its chances of accidentally committing friendly fire. That being said, the weapon's flaws are a small price to pay for the benefits that it brings to the battlefield, and it is hoped that the EGR-16 will finally give Salvage Team Six the decisive advantage they need over their many enemies.
