Renegade Rodian
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
A shift in power and ownership within Corondex Arms prompted the Helix Syndicate to terminate their supply contract with the company. Something as important as the Syndicate’s armory could not be left to an unknown or unreliable variable. To replace Corondex, capital was invested in the establishment of Myton Defense on the planet of Jaemus. Just another simple arms manufacturer, although this one had the benefit of being securely in the pocket of the Helix Syndicate.
Shortly after its inception, Myton designed and launched the HSWS line of weapons, beginning with a release of energy weapons under the A0 series. As with all weapons in the A0 series, it has been optimized for use in conjunction with the Sagittarius-Class Targeting System. Those equipped with the Sagittarius will notice an increase in accuracy.
Small and smart, the A02 is designed for close quarters combat engagements and raids. Low recoil, maneuverability, high rate of fire, and fast reloading all make it an ideal candidate for use in small spaces, such as when clearing out a building. Because of this specialization, the A02 suffers when outside of close quarters. It won't see much use in wide, open battlefields for that reason.
- Intent: To provide the Helix Syndicate with a series of energy weapons.

- [Strength] A02s feature a bullpup design. This confers a number of benefits, such as easier maneuverability, reduction in arm fatigue, and easy transport. A02s are highly effective for close-quarters scenarios and sieges.
- [Weakness] The short length of the weapon dramatically impairs accuracy at any distance beyond average. Weight concentration in the back of the rifle means the A02’s fully automatic setting is essentially useless (outside of suppressing fire) at any range beyond personal.
