Clan Kyron of Rhen Var was a people rooted deep in almost a heathen-like worship and reverence of the Winter of their homeworld, but they were also practical people. On a world as cold as Rhen Var, even simple things such as food were hard to come by; it's climate made sustained agriculture near impossible, and the treacherous landscape made lugging large hunting weapons impractical and extremely difficult, especially after a hunter had successfully secured a kill. Finally, the gunsmiths of the clan came up with a solution; a hand cannon with good range and high impact, and whose size would not be an impediment as hunters tried to maneuver through Rhen Var's topography.
Yes, the KYR-54 Skathe Hand Cannon was originally conceived as a hunting weapon.
Despite its menial beginnings, the hand cannon has a strength that is belied by its size. Not a traditional blaster, the Skathe shoots depleted baradium rounds at a higher-than-average velocity that lends it a high-impact, high-damage dealing blow with each round. The Skathe is also accurized for longer ranges, meaning that a user can use it both at short and long ranges. Overall, the Skathe is a deadly weapon, whether its prey is animal or warrior.
