Approved Tech Iridonian Blaster Staff

[The Destroyer]

Spoiler

Intent: To give the Iridonians a standard weapon which can be used as a melee weapon or as a ranged weapon
Development Thread: None
Manufacturer: Iridonian Arms Co.
Model: Warrior-class ranged melee staff
Affiliation: The Iridonians (faction)
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-produced for the Iridonian army
Material: The actual staff is made of heavy durosteel, keeping it strong resistant to blasters. The blades are both durosteel.
Description: The staff is heavy and strong. Drawbacks would be the heaviness, causing fatigue to the user if they were not used to such a weapon. Another drawback would be the needed range, since there is no scope it needs to be used in close to medium quarters battle. It is powered by a power cell and Tibanna gas canister within the staff, each must be regularly replaced.
(I will use parts from both melee and ranged weapons templates)

I like what you're going for here. However, neuranium is on the restricted list, with specific requirements.

Also, a power crystal wouldn't be an appropriate power source for a blaster. Blasters work by using a power cell to energize tibanna gas into plasma bolts.
