PRODUCTION INFORMATION
* Manufacturer: Mara Merrill, Akure Executive Interstellar - http://starwarsrp.net/topic/22962-akure-executive-interstellar/
* Model: Kathol Riftrock
* Affiliation: Closed market (ask first)
* Modularity: No
* Production: Semi-unique
* Material: Nickel-iron asteroid
SPECIAL FEATURES
* Causes anxiety and hallucinations, especially in Force-sensitives, directly proportional to their power.
STRENGTHS
* Causes anxiety and spidery hallucinations within a range of ten metres.
* Forcers experience the effect more profoundly. Masters are more affected than Knights and so forth.
WEAKNESSES
* Effect weakened by void stone/voidsteel, ixetal cilona ingestion, or a thick coating of nullification resin. Effect cancelled outright by ysalamiri.
* Those who've spent months or years in and around the Kathol Rift (e.g. Moross, Black Rose, ORC Judges) are deeply familiar with the effect and may resist it effectively.
* Conversely , it's still going to be uncomfortable and troublesome for anyone who wants to use it as a weapon.
DESCRIPTION
Before distractions and extended recuperation knocked Mara Merrill down from genuine Mastery, she built the Vergence Lensforge. The Lensforge allowed her to distill the uniqueness of a Force Nexus or phenomenon into an object. As her private war against the Mandalorians heated up, she put an old what-if into practice and applied the Lensforge to the Kathol Rift. The Rift’s mental effects are unique in that Mastery of the Force doesn't really mitigate the problem. In fact, it makes the challenge exponentially worse. An old hand at navigating the region, Mara was still just barely able to use the Lensforge in the Rift.
The end result is a fist-sized lump of asteroid, native to the Rift, with a localized aura identical to the Rift. Mara's intended targets were Mandalorian Force-users. She planned to use the Riftrocks to dial up the Mandalorian Civil War. However, creating the Riftrocks and moving them to the known galaxy took far too long. That leaves the Riftrocks as treacherous weapons without a purpose. Having spent her fortune on philanthropy and an anti-Mandalorian crusade, Mara has been known to sell or barter Riftrocks to keep the lights on.
A Riftrock is comparable to a Phobis device in general terms. However, some crucial factors separate them:
- A Phobis device has a gigantic area of effect when used properly. A Riftrock's influence has minimal range.
- A Phobis device can cause virtually anyone to lose their mind from unrelenting terror, and hallucinations may be a side effect. A Riftrock causes hallucinations and anxiety, which may lead to terror and stress and so forth depending on the target.
- A Phobis device is supremely effective against virtually everyone, and may be less effective against Masters. A Riftrock is mildly or moderately effective against the general population, and vastly more effective against Masters.
