- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: Dark matter (note the item about Gree technology)
- Manufacturer: Gree Empire (ancient)
- Affiliation: The Forerunners
- Market Status: Closed market
- Model: Crimson Denominator
- Modularity: No
- Production: Semi-unique
- Material: Gree alloy comparable to durasteel
- Classification: Exotic revolver
- Size: Large
- Weight: Heavy
- Ammunition Type: The Crimson Denominator fires bullets tipped with a stabilized, dense form of dark matter.
- Ammunition Capacity: Small (7 shots)
- Effective Range: Average
- Rate of Fire: Low
- Damage Output: Extreme
- Recoil: Low (High if hit by EMP/ion weapons)
- Gree dark matter ammunition
- Miniaturized inertial compensator for recoil reduction
- Extreme efficacy against both shields and armor.
- Far lower recoil than there should be.
- The dark matter ammunition doesn't show up as anything special to normal sensor scans.
- All labels are designed for Gree senses and in the Gree language. For other species, this is NOT an intuitive weapon.
- All switches and such are designed for Gree appendages. For other species, this is NOT an intuitive weapon.
- EMP/ion interference will temporarily disable the miniature inertial compensator, increasing recoil from Low to High.
- Does not take standard ammunition types/calibers, and the Forerunners only manufacture replacement ammunition in relatively small quantities. Once you're out, you're out.
- To the experienced eye and well-used sensors, the kinetic damage it leaves behind is clearly not from any standard modern weapon.
The Crimson Denominator is a simple, elegant delivery mechanism for bullets tipped with a destructive form of dark matter. Tens of thousands of yearse ago, the Gree Empire had advanced technological applications for dark matter, including power generation. This particular formulation was a byproduct of that power generation technology. Gree artificers found that the byproduct's stability, density, and other characteristics made it a prime choice for certain kinetic weapons technologies.
Several of the Forerunner stasis cocoons contained fully functional Crimson Denominator sidearms and reasonable stocks of ammunition, ushering this technology into the modern universe.
