• Production:
  Minor
• Material:
  
  • Polyceramic casing
  • Nano-lensed emitter nodes
  • Reinforced thermal channels
  • Reflective internal prism arrays

​

• Classification:
  Laser (Continuous Pulse Beam)
• Size:
  Very Small
• Weight:
  Very Light
• Ammunition Type: High-capacity crystal-pumped microcell
• Ammunition Capacity: Very Large (240 beams per cell)
• Effective Range: Personal
• Rate of Fire: High (manual reload)
• Damage Output: Average
• Recoil: None

​

• Pulse-Stream Laser Emitters: Fires coherent laser pulses in tightly grouped packets, enabling near-zero recoil and precise suppression
• Zero-Recoil Firing System: Beam emission has no kinetic recoil, allowing full-auto fire without spread or instability.
• Soundless Operation: Emits only a faint hum during discharge; no muzzle flash, no traditional firing report—ideal for infiltration
• Heat-Dissipation Frame: Lattice-channeled cooling system maintains beam cohesion even under continuous fire.
• HUD-Linked Smart Optics: Integrated with Legion battle net and ICHNAEA uplink, enabling real-time target priority updates
• Flashblind Suppression Mode: Optional scatter pulse temporarily overwhelms visual sensors in a 15° cone, disorienting droids and helmeted targets.
• Violet Beam Signature: Default setting emits sharp violet beams—instantly recognizable to Legion forces, terrifying to everyone else.
• Subdermal Trigger Patch Compatible: Can be fired via neural-linked commands for cybernetic or Sith agents.
• Temperature-Activated Grip Lock: Weapon locks against unauthorized use via palmprint + thermal biosignature key.

​

• Fast, Precise, Silent: Punches through heavy walkers, bunkers, tanks, or fortified enemy positions with brutal reliability.
• High Rate of Fire: Continuous beam output enables tight suppression in confined environments
• Ergonomic and Lightweight: Can be wielded one-handed by organics or paired with secondary weapons in droid loadouts
• No Recoil: Allows pinpoint accuracy, even during full-auto fire

​

• Limited Stopping Power: Beam pulses are lethal on soft targets but less effective against dense armor without sustained exposure.
• Heat Saturation Risk: Excessive use may overheat emitter core, especially in poorly ventilated environments.
• Short Effective Range: Energy dispersion renders the Specter ineffective beyond standard carbine ranges.
• Low Shield Penetration: Standard pulse output struggles against personal energy shields unless modified with higher-energy crystals.

"You never hear a Specter. You just feel the heat. And then you stop feeling anything."

Compact, silent, and disturbingly precise, the Specter is the Fourth Legion's favored subcarbine for infiltration missions, corridor combat, and off-grid assassination. It was first fielded by Black Vault insertion teams during classified deniable operations across the Inner Rim and later refined for droid integration and urban combat.

Firing violet-hued laser bursts from a crystal-pumped microcell, the Specter projects clustered beam packets at extremely high intervals. It does not recoil. It does not echo. It does not flash. In the hands of Legion infiltrators, it simply burns through tissue, armor joints, and certainty.

While it lacks the catastrophic impact of a kinetic or plasma weapon, its advantages are subtler—leaving no casing, no traceable round, and often no witnesses. Its disorientation pulse mode further adds to its psychological profile: moments before death, many targets report only a blinding flash and a sensation of warmth.
