OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
- Intent: To create a shotgun/flechette launcher/slugthrower hybrid, entirely organic.
- Image Source: Me, I made it!
- Canon Link: N/A
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: Plem Cells, Plant Surge
- Manufacturer: Sylva Arma
- Affiliation: Jack Sandrow
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: "Jewelseed" - Series: SASV-J1.4.0.XXXXX
- Modularity:
- Yes: the central magazine (the big brown hexagonal prism) can be swapped out for compatible Sylva Vitae components.
- Compatible components will be similarly connected by the serial number SXSV-JX.4.X.XXXXX
- Yes: the central magazine (the big brown hexagonal prism) can be swapped out for compatible Sylva Vitae components.
- Production: Limited (Production is all individual)
- Material: Hardened plant material, Plem cells, various flora and fungi in modified capabilities. All this is grown through the Plant Surge Force ability; specific armor or material will get its own submission as necessary.
- Classification: Slugthower/Flechette Launcher
- Size: Average
- Weight: Heavy
- Ammunition Type: Plem cells in various configurations
- Slugthrower shotgun pellets - SASV-J1.4-GS
- Solid balls of hardened plant matter, energized to hit harder and dig into the armor it hits
- Slugthrower energy rounds - SASV-J1.4-ER
- Energized plasma rounds, converting the energy of the Plem cells into plasma
- Flechette rounds - SASV-J1.4-FR
- Thickened flechette rounds, designed to be higher-energy and more forceful than regular pellets, with higher penetration against organic matter
- Slugthrower shotgun pellets - SASV-J1.4-GS
- Ammunition Capacity: Very Large

- High ammunition capacity means it requires few reloads, but it is noticeably heavy as a result.
- Custom design, fully organic material means it is visually and technologically distinct. As such, it is entirely incompatible with anything not of Sylva Vitae make.
- Organic material means it can self-repair as needed
- Reloading requires spare canisters on hand, or planting in nutrient-rich soil for a minimum of 16 hours.
- Weapon design is functional and simple, but complex beneath the surface. Ammunition type swapping can be done on the fly, as need be.
- This weapon is compatible with all SV biotech correlating with the SXSV-JX.4.X.XXXXX series.
- High ammunition capacity
- Canisters hold high capacities of dense Plem cells
- Variable ammunition type
- Plem cells are able to adapt on the fly to different requirements of usage
- Rechargeable and compatible with SV biotech
- As with all Sylva Vitae biotech, this is compatible with similar series, and specifically compatible with the JX.4.X series.
- Organic biotech
- It is capable of slow regeneration if it is damaged, though there are limits of course
- Invisible to most scanners
- Made of organics, not technology, it is invisible to all but the most precise organics-specific scanners. It is entirely invisible to tech-specific scanners
- Heavier than standard weaponry
- Dense biotech is heavier than durasteel of similar size and shape.
- Incompatible ammunition
- This cannot be reloaded on the field with scavenged ammunition. All ammunition must be sourced from SV.
- Slow reload
- Big, heavy, and entirely organic. 16 hours minimum for a full recharge (more if the weapon is damaged).
- Organic design
- Unshielded, entirely organic, makes it entirely weak to other weaponry. While it can regenerate, it can still be broken, and faster than standard durasteel weaponry.
The "Jewelseed" is a heavy weapon, with a variety of capabilities depending on the need in battle. It can function as a slugthrower shotgun with medium range, a plasma shotgun with similar range, or a flechette launcher with slightly increased range. The hefty recoil of the weapon is partially offset with its weight, but its strengths are mitigated with the fact that it is entirely incompatible with the tech of the galaxy at large. Slow recharge times, lengthy repair times, and ammunition entirely specific to SV, makes it a particularly proprietary piece of biotech.
It's 'chunky' - it's a shotgun, it's supposed to be. Big thumping power in a handheld package. There are shotguns that can do it better, there are shotguns that can do it lighter. This one is entirely organic, and is the first in the line of Sylva Vitae products to hit his shelf. It is a promise of what is to come.
