"If you value life, any life... mine, yours, theirs... don't pull that trigger"​

SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Radiation-Activated Payload
    Each slug is forged from volatile Dorium and lined with cortosis, containing its radiation until the moment of firing. Upon discharge, the casing fractures and releases high-dose radiation that contaminates both the target and surrounding area.
  • Force-Dead Ichor Infusion
    A proprietary alchemical blend of ichor drawn from Force-dead zones is embedded in the core of each slug. When embedded in a Force-sensitive being, this material severs their local Force connection at the wound, diminishing their capacity to manipulate the Force through that limb or injury site.
  • Cortosis-Lined Internal Chambers
    The revolver's drum and firing mechanism are reinforced with cortosis interlocks to both resist lightsaber strikes and contain radiation. This also contributes to the weapon's immunity to Force-sensing or interference while holstered.
  • Ritual-Aligned Inscription System
    The revolver bears Sith glyphs along its frame and internal chamber alignments. These are part the technical schematic for its payload, part dark side ritual, believed to be necessary for channeling the Force-dead properties into each round during forging.
STRENGTHS
  • Radiation-Based Devastation
    Slugs release ionizing radiation on contact. Even without direct penetration, the radiation exposure is lethal to unshielded organics and renders terrain toxic.
  • Force-Dead Disruption
    When the bullet lodges in a Force-sensitive body, it severs their connection to the Force at the wound site. This reduces their ability to fight, heal, or respond through the Force.
  • Armor-Contaminating Impact
    Even if deflected or blocked, the slug's radiation contaminates armor or nearby surfaces. Touching contaminated gear or terrain is hazardous for any living being.
  • Immune to Force Manipulation
    The projectile cannot be pulled, pushed, sensed, or redirected by the Force. It cannot be precognitively anticipated by Jedi instincts.
WEAKNESSES
  • Limited Cylinder Capacity
    The revolver holds only five slugs, each stored in individually sealed, radiation-shielded chambers. The casing and internal seals are reinforced with agrinium and cortosis to contain the payload any attempt to increase capacity risks catastrophic exposure.
  • Restricted Ammunition Supply
    Due to the complex and hazardous process of forging each round including rare materials, Sith alchemy, and high-radiation metallurgy only one full drum of five slugs may be carried per thread. Additional rounds are not accessible without specific narrative justification.
  • Radiation Spill Risk
    Though dormant when chambered, the slug becomes dangerously radioactive after firing. Nearby allies or the user themselves may suffer from secondary exposure in confined, unshielded environments.
  • Reduced Effectiveness Against Non-Organics
    The radiation payload is designed for living tissue. While the kinetic impact can still damage droids or armour, mechanical targets are largely immune to the weapon's full effect.
DESCRIPTION
The exact origins of the revolver known only in whispers as Korrûg Kuûr or The Withering Shot have been lost to time, buried beneath centuries of galactic war and Sith betrayal. Like its rumored wielder, the infamous Sith Stalkers, the weapon is shrouded in myth and dread. No surviving records confirm its maker, and no known forge has replicated its function. It exists as a singular, terrible thing, etched into memory more than history.

Among the few who have laid eyes on it and lived, the reactions are nearly unanimous: fear, awe, and the urge to turn away. Its oversized frame, its shadow-black finish, and the grotesque radiation sigils etched into its cylinder all speak to one truth, it was made for one purpose: To execute those of the Force.

Each slug is handcrafted, the secret of its creation inscribed into the weapon itself, though the glyphs are encoded in an archaic Sith dialect, part prayer, part alchemical formula. Few can read it. Fewer still survive attempting to replicate it. Even when completed, the raw resources required to produce a single drum's worth of ammunition are so rare and volatile that no wielder has ever carried more than five rounds into battle.

The weapon is not just dangerous to its targets, it is dangerous to its bearer. Several wielders have succumbed to it over the centuries: some by accidental misfire, others by long-term radiation sickness after storing or cleaning the weapon improperly. The slugs remain inert only when chambered and sealed. Once fired, the radiation saturates everything it touches. Reports speak of scorched bunkers, poisoned vaults, and dead zones where Force-users cannot meditate without nausea.

Today, the revolver passes from collector to warlord, from inquisitor to occultist. It is seldom drawn, and rarer still fired. Yet its presence alone, the implication of what it can do, often ends a confrontation before it begins.

A relic of a Sith era long past, the Korrûg Kuûr is a weapon of ruin, a last resort in a galaxy where even the Force itself can be betrayed by the tools of man. It remains a haunting testament to how far the Sith were willing to go to kill one another, and how little they cared for what remained afterward.
