  • Fire Dancer: Directed heat weapons, flamethrowers, plasma torches, and similar weapon types encounter two distinct defenses before threatening the wearer. The Thermal shield layer of the Echani projector array absorbs and dissipates directed heat energy as its first priority. Ostrine composite in the armor plating then absorbs vast quantities of additional heat without transferring it to the wearer. The result is a suit that allows the wearer to walk through active flamethrower streams and survive direct hits from thermal detonators.
  • Layered Energy and Kinetic Resistance: The combination of Echani triple-phase shielding, Estrian-ostrine armorweave, and Anti-Shank Cloth creates an incredible defense against energy weapons and physical projectiles. Solar Ray shielding neutralizes plasma, particle, disruptor, and light-wave attacks before they reach the surface. The Particle shield stops projectiles cold. Anti-Shank Cloth hardens instantly against high-velocity impacts, minimizing lethal kinetic force transfer. This stacked protection ensures that the wearer can confidently advance in the face of small arms fire, heavy blaster rifles, and even some light vehicle-mounted weapons with little fear of penetration or blunt trauma transfer.
  • Low Profile: The Klase Vele has a greatly-diminished observation profile owing to its camouflage and polymer coatings, while the D-baffling system renders it nearly dead silent. Both of these systems lower the overall signature of the bodysuit, but they do not offer true stealth capability or invisibility. Instead, they serve to make the suit and its wearer more difficult to distinguish from the surrounding environment and harder to detect.
  • Mind and Body Augmentation: Achieved via energized and reactive polymer materials incorporated into the body glove, the Klase Vele enhances the wearer’s speed, strength, and athleticism roughly thricefold. In addition, the integrated Ghost Link significantly enhances reaction time, mental processing capability, and awareness. This mental enhancement comes from the armor itself, which heightens and accelerates the user’s thought processes by supplementing them with processing power of the onboard computers. The Ghost Link also allows the wearer to control virtually all functions and attached subsystems via mental command.
  • Metaphysical Resistance: While few non-Force-user combat attires offer meaningful protection against direct Force attacks, the Klase Vele incorporates two complementary countermeasures. Terentatek hide linings provide proven resistance to Force effects to prevent metaphysical disruption of the bodysuit’s systems and electronics. Estrian adds high resistance to direct applications of the Force. The neural stabilizer in the helmet fortifies the wearer's brain waves against mind-altering techniques. This triple-layer defense means that even a skilled Force user may struggle to collapse the suit, crush the wearer's throat, or dominate their mind. The wearer remains a genuine threat in close quarters against lightsaber wielders who rely heavily on Force augmentation.
  • Air Step: The Klase Vele is exceptionally light and flexible. The Anti-Shank Cloth uses refined manufacturing processes to minimize weight while maintaining protective properties. Shell spider silk reinforcement at the joints preserves full range of motion without armor gaps. The Echani shield projectors are miniaturized and conformal. This weight reduction has direct tactical benefits: the wearer fatigues more slowly, moves more quietly, accelerates faster, and can wear the suit for extended durations without physical strain. This is only further enhanced by the reactive polymers which enhance the wearer’s strength, making movement and combat significantly less exhausting.
  • Storm Chaser: The Klase Vele is engineered to operate in environments saturated with ion fire, EMP weaponry, and electrical attacks that would instantly disable conventional combat armor. Solar Ray shielding provides baseline electrical resistance, while the AEGIS Nanoarray actively grounds and disperses incoming electrical energy before it can reach the wearer or sensitive systems. Estrian's naturally very high ionic resistance is further enhanced by agrinium mesh electronic hardening, which creates a robust barrier against EMP/Ion-based disruption. The result is a suit that can shrug off ion grenades, EMP pulses, and stun weaponry with minimal system degradation, allowing the wearer to function normally where droids would seize and power armor would fail catastrophically.
QF94b2S.png

  • Tensor: While optimized to mitigate damage from most forms of energy-based assaults, tensor weapons are indeed the exception. In firing compressed tractor beam waves, they can bypass most of the bodysuit’s defenses and affect the wearer’s body at a cellular level, with the potential to cause severe injury.
  • Slow Self-Repair Cycle: Programmable matter repairs are gradual. Severe damage incurred in rapid succession cannot be immediately undone and may accumulate during prolonged engagements. It goes without saying that the programmable matter will not be able to effect repairs during most live confrontations.
  • Shield Projector Fragility: The Klase Vele is a high-tech platform that depends in large part on its electronics for its defensive prowess and lethality. Thus, should its electronics be overloaded, disabled, or impaired, the armor’s ability to protect its wearer will suffer in turn. In such a case, the Echani shield projector array might suffer malfunction. Since this system is a linchpin to the bodysuit’s resistance against disruptors (the materials by themselves do not adequately defend against this weapon type), these weapons will likely pose an especially mortal threat to the wearer in the event of system failure.
  • Energy Intensive: The simultaneous operation of the conformal Echani shield projector array, reactive polymer strength enhancer, and other systems demands an extreme-output power source. This power core, the Hypermatter Synthesis Engine, is a critical single point of failure; disabling it would drastically reduce the bodysuit's capabilities to its (still formidable) passive layers.
  • Circumvented: Estrian and terentatek integration (covering the bodysuit’s electronics) provides excellent protection against direct applications of the Force, including (but not strictly limited to) mechu-deru, direct telekinetic influences, and mental attacks. However, indirect applications of the Force (i.e. using the Force to generate bursts of pressurized air, throw rocks, generate elemental effects, etc.) may still be effective, depending on the specific resistance that the suit has to the attack in question.
G6hsfzt.png

Created for the Slatessai, the Klase Vele Combat Skin Mk. I is an ultra-advanced combat bodysuit that which makes full use of First United Astral Engineering’s latest technologies and systems. The Klase Vele, which means remove soul in the Sith language, places a suite of utility functions, sensors, equipment, defensive systems, and enhancements under the control of the Slatesi wearer, similar to the Taral-type Sith Trooper Armor worn by the soldiers of the Kainite Immortal Legions.

The bodysuit’s primary construction is Estrian-ostrine composite armorweave, which by itself gives high energy, heat, kinetic, and EMP/Ion resistance, along with limited lightsaber and Force resistance. The ultralight armor plating, which covers the shoulders, neck, knees, and feet, is a semi-rigid gammaplast-ostrine composite underlaid with Anti-Shank Cloth. This adds further resistance to blasters and kinetic force in specific areas of the bodysuit. The conformal, triple-phase Echani shields are projected on the surface of the bodysuit, serving as the first layer of the defense.

Even with these protective systems, the Klase Vele is extremely easy to move in owing to its Mk. V Flexibility Enhancement and the reactive polymer underlayer which provides a thricefold enhancement to the wearer’s strength.

The Klase Vele includes First United Astral Engineering’s standard package of sensors, targeting, networking, and communication systems. The Ghost Link is installed as well, which can lend a well-conditioned wearer an incredible degree of mental enhancement.

The newest systems in the Klase Vele are the FAE/U-07 Nano-Repulsorcam and the FAE/MDW-03 Resonant Disruption Projection System. The former system is a hybrid recon drone-extendable nanocam that allows the user to look around corners, peer into tiny spaces, and scout terrain. The FAE/MDW-03 is the company’s newest anti-missile system which destroys incoming via resonant frequency vibrations. It is mounted on the bodysuit in distributed nodes, lending omnidirectional coverage against missiles, grenades, shells, thrown explosives, and yet more kinetic threats.

In all, the Klase Vele is hoped to provide the Slatessai with a robust, lethal, and hyper-aware combat platform, as fitting for the military wing of the Saaraishash. The Slatessai are intended to be Saaraishash’s feared enforcers, punishing seditious elements through terror, policing, assassination, direct action, and yet more. The Klase Vele is intended to provide the empty souls wearing it, whose very existence is a gift from the state, a lethal, ultra-protective velvet shroud to conceal the iron fist of the Dyarchy!

  • Data and Information Security
  • Combat Electronics
  • Control Systems
  • Energy Modes
    • Hyper-Ionized Particle Bolt
      • Considered to be the standard energy module, this module manifests a hyper-ionized particle bolt that deals damage via a veritable hammer blow of concussive shock (kinetic energy), the searing release of thermal energy as the superheated plasma particles destabilize matter to produce decohesion temperature heat (~six thousand five hundred degrees centigrade), and finally ionization energy which can disrupt electronics and overload energy shields in the manner of an electromagnetic pulse. Of particular significance, each bolt in the spread has an explosive effect upon connecting with a shield or solid object, including the blade of a lightsaber.
    • Incendiary Plasma Bolt
      • This module manifests an incendiary plasma bolt encased within a magnetic field. The bolt is designed to “splash” in a one-meter radius on impact with any solid object (including energy fields) as the searing plasma adheres itself to objects within its radius. Stuck to the target, the semi-solid plasma “gel” can potentially inflict significant and continuous superheating damage on shields, armor, and flesh, typically burning at temperatures in excess of five thousand degrees centigrade for several seconds. This module also has secondary kinetic effects, though not nearly to the degree of the default hyper-ionized particle beam module.
    • Stun Bolt
      • Projects a stun bolt that is designed to leave a target unconscious by overloading their nervous system via charged electrical impulses.
  • Power Systems
  • Utility and Safety Systems
h3KdqR9.png

  • Thermal Endurance: The dallorian alloy-reinforced quadranium-rhenium barrel, overlaid heat sink webbing, and CryoBan coolant flushes from the energy cartridge, allow the KCP-4 to sustain an effective rate of fire far longer than standard blaster pistols. Where conventional sidearms overheat and require cooldown cycles after multiple shots, the KCP-4 can empty its forty-round capacity with only negligible performance degradation.
  • Tri-Energy Lethality: The KCP-4’s three energy modes cover virtually any combat scenario. The hyper-ionized bolt delivers concussive, thermal, and ionic damage simultaneously, with a very high potential to overwhelm shields and pulse electronics. The incendiary plasma bolt mode discharges gel that can stick to targets for sustained superheating, ideal against armored opponents or area denial. And the stun bolt provides a non-lethal option. Few other pistols in the KCP-4’s class offer this breadth of terminal effects from a single frame.
  • Handheld Heavy Weapon Output: The KCP-4 compresses carbine-grade energy into a pistol frame. The overcharged galven circuitry drives the prismatic crystal array at near-critical tolerance, while the quadranium-rhenium barrel and CryoBan cooling system survive the resulting thermal stress. Each hyper-ionized bolt delivers a concussive shock equivalent to a light slugthrower round, thermal energy sufficient to vaporize standard body armor at the point of impact, and an ionization burst that can feasibly overload personal shields with one or two hits. Against unprepared opponents, the first shot from the KCP-4 is often the last.
  • Symbiotic Fire-by-Thought: The FAE/S-07 enables fire-by-thought actuation, reducing reaction time to the speed of neural transmission rather than mechanical trigger pull. When linked to compatible armor or HUD, the user can acquire targets, switch energy modes, operate the weapon’s functions, and fire with zero perceptible delay. This allows for split-second responses against multiple threats, giving the user a decisive advantage in close-quarters duels.
  • Surgical: While the KCP-4 is not anything near a sniper weapon, the weapon is incredibly accurate and precise within its effective firing range.
  • Witch Blood: Integrated terentatek hide gives the KCP-4 a stunning resistance to direct applications of the Force, particularly mechu-deru and similar technology manipulating powers. This allows non-Force-sensitive users to engage Force-wielders with confidence and security in their weapon's integrity.
  • Shapeshifter: The grip, trigger reach, and control layout are not fixed. Programmable matter within the pistol’s frame reshapes itself to the user’s hand upon biometric verification, creating a perfect anatomical fit for any species, cybernetic configuration, or armored glove. Controls can be repositioned or re-mapped via neural, blink, and voice command. A Twi’lek, a Besalisk, and a human wearing thick gauntlets will each experience the KCP-4 as if it were custom-built for them alone.
QF94b2S.png

  • Fortune Teller: While the KCP-4 is drop-safe so that the prismatic crystal does not become misaligned with a simple fall or drop, if the weapon is fired with a misaligned prismatic crystal (which can occur if the weapon sustains damage), the risk of an explosive outcome is somewhat high. This can likely end with the weapon going off in the wielder’s hand to potentially catastrophic effect in the event that they attempt to fire it in spite of the damage.
  • Ion Susceptibility: While the hyper-ionized particle bolt is excellent at disrupting enemy electronics and shields, the KCP-4 itself still remains vulnerable to ion weapons and EMP effects. The reinforced duraplast electronic hardening mitigates this weakness but does not eliminate it. A well-placed ion grenade could disable the Ghost Link, the targeting matrix, or the programmable matter ergonomics mid-fight, transforming a sophisticated sidearm into a brick in the user’s hand.
  • Crystal Calibration Delay: The KCP-4's prismatic crystal array requires roughly a half-second to fully stabilize after switching energy modes—swapping from hyper-ionized to incendiary to stun. This calibration period leaves the weapon incapable of firing while the crystal reconfigures its lattice structure. A skilled opponent could feasibly exploit this window of vulnerability in any number of ways.
  • Short Effective Range: The hyper-ionized bolt’s particle spread and the incendiary plasma bolt’s splash pattern lose cohesion beyond fifty meters. Competent enemies with carbines, rifles, or even well-maintained heavy pistols can outrange the KCP-4, forcing the user to close distance or rely on secondary weapons.

The Kainate Combat Pistol Model Four is a refinement on blaster pistol-style weapons designed by First United Astral Engineering and manufactured by the Vorrik Armatech subsidiary of Malsheem Hypernautics and Manufacturing. Incorporating First United Astral Engineering’s standard suite of utility features, the weapon is one of the most advanced pistol-style armaments fielded within the Sith Order. Notably, these features include programmable matter ergonomics that make the weapon a custom fit for any wielder, the FAE/S-07 Ghost Link for neural command and fire-by-thought capability, security features to prevent theft, a collapsible frame via molecular disruptor mirror cells, and yet more items that make the weapon one of the most convenient to wield in the Sith arsenal.

While the KCP-4 is manufactured exclusively by the Kainate, the weapon was also made available to other, non-Kainate groups in the Sith Order. These groups however are often made to pay a tithe to Malsheem in exchange for access to the weapon.

In all, the KCP-4 is anticipated to give Kainate personnel access to convenient, comfortable, and ultra-lethal firepower in a frame that offers a wide breadth of terminal effects in a compact package.

  • Data and Information Security
  • Combat Electronics
  • Control Systems
  • Ammunition Types
    • Factory Ammunition
      • Standard Penetrator
        • Standard penetrator ammunition is designed for general use, being effective against both armored and unarmored targets. The core is dense tunqstoid, which is encased in a conductive polymer-ultrachrome composite to prevent wear inside the barrel and to facilitate the penetration of energy shields. The projectile has a rough teardrop shape, for aerodynamic efficiency.
      • Armor Penetrator
        • Intended for general anti-armor use, armor penetrator ammunition is designed to punch through body armor, light vehicle plating, and droid chassis. The projectile has an aerodynamic penetrator profile, featuring a sharply tapered nose to maximize sectional density and reduce air resistance while the boat-tail base improves stability in flight. The core is ultra-dense seigurium (for maximum density and hardness), which is encased in a conductive polymer-ultrachrome composite to prevent wear inside the barrel and to facilitate the penetration of energy shields.
      • CryoBan
        • Designed to release CryoBan on impact, CryoBan ammunition is designed to flash-freeze targets on impact. Regarding its construction, CryoBan slugs are encased in a conductive polymer-ultrachrome composite to prevent wear inside the barrel and to facilitate the penetration of energy shields. This casing is notably frangible, intended to shatter on impact in order to release the payload. The slug’s core is composed of three parts: the primary cryogenic agent—CryoBan, a suspended pocket of collapsium gas, and a high-strength magnetic containment shell. On impact, the shell fractures, at which point the collapsium destabilizes and implodes to create a localized vacuum. The sudden pressure drop causes the CryoBan to expand violently, potentially freezing targets in a ~1 meter radius instantly and violently.
      • Controlled Penetration
        • Controlled penetration ammunition is lethal and barrier-sensitive, designed to kill armored targets while minimizing the risk of overpenetration and collateral damage. In terms of their construction, controlled-penetration slugs are encased in a conductive polymer-ultrachrome composite to prevent wear inside the barrel and to facilitate the penetration of energy shields. This casing is notably frangible, intended to shatter on impact in order to prevent ricochets. The core is tunqstoid compressed powder into a sintered matrix. On impact, the slug shatters into pre-formed shards as the core powderizes into a lethal cone, ensuring that the maximum amount of energy is dumped into the target.
      • Ion Disruption
        • Ion disruption slugs are specialized electromagnetic ammunition designed for anti-droid, anti-electronic, and anti-energy shield applications. They deliver targeted ion bursts intended to fry circuits, overload systems, and cripple mechanized threats. In terms of their construction, ion disruption slugs are encased in a conductive polymer-ultrachrome composite to prevent wear inside the barrel and to facilitate the penetration of energy shields. This casing is notably frangible, intended to shatter on impact in order to release the ionized payload. The slug’s core is composed of two parts: ionized gas that unleashes a charged plasma, conductive nano-filaments which are designed to facilitate the penetration of the ionic discharge into circuitry, and ferromagnetic dust that enhances EM interference. On impact, the slug shatters, releasing ionized plasma and charged nano-filaments which function akin to a powerful electromagnetic pulse in a ~0.5 meter effective radius. The ferromagnetic dust is released as well, but it functions primarily to ensure that ionic effects linger, potentially causing extended systems disruption that may last after impact.
      • Explosive-Incendiary
        • Explosive-incendiary ammunition is designed primarily for anti-armor and area denial use cases, though it remains effective against conventional targets. The core is filled with solid iadrium, which is encased in a conductive polymer-ultrachrome composite to prevent wear inside the barrel and to facilitate the penetration of energy shields. The iadrium detonates on impact via a mass-reactive electric fuze, giving nigh-perfect reliability in exploding against both soft and hard targets. The blast has a radius of ~0.5 meters. However, the fire can spread beyond this, especially in the presence of flammable materials. Pertaining to its incendiary effects, the explosion and fire can reach temperatures in excess of two thousand five hundred degrees centigrade in a Type I atmosphere. The fire itself can burn for up to 30 seconds, though this can be longer if it spreads to flammable materials. Finally, the projectile has a roughly teardrop shape, for aerodynamic efficiency.
      • High Explosive
        • Pure explosive ammunition is designed primarily for anti-armor and area denial use cases, though it remains effective against conventional targets. The core is filled with solid baradium, which is encased in polymer-ultrachrome composite to prevent wear inside the barrel and to facilitate the penetration of energy shields. The baradium detonates on impact in a ~0.5 meter blast radius via a mass-reactive electric fuze, giving nigh-perfect reliability in exploding against both soft and hard targets. The projectile has a roughly teardrop shape, for aerodynamic efficiency.
      • Active Wave Cancellation
        • Active Wave Cancellation ammunition is designed to eliminate the hypersonic crack of supersonic railgun fire, enabling quiet engagement against sound-sensitive targets or in covert operations. The projectile is encased in a conductive polymer-ultrachrome composite to prevent barrel wear and facilitate energy shield penetration. The core houses a photonic lattice processor and a network of micro-scale dynamically adjusting surfaces, forming a topological metamaterial skin studded with billions of piezo-electric pressure hairs and plasma micro-jet cavities. Upon launch, the railgun's electromagnetic pulse charges an internal piezoelectric acoustic reservoir. During flight, the processor maps real-time pressure topology ahead of the forming shock front and directs the metamaterial skin to generate precisely timed counter-pressure waves via projected counter-pressure sound waves or surface morphing. These counter-waves destructively interfere with the natural N-wave shock front, converting the sonic boom into a barely audible hum. The projectile has a sleek, needle-like profile with subtle, shimmering surface patterning.
    • Aftermarket Ammunition
  • Power and Discharge Systems
    • Verpine Linear Motor and Gravity Coils
      • Power Setting Modulation System
        • At lower power settings, the projectile is imparted with a lower muzzle velocity. Of particular note, a special subsonic setting is also included, which accelerates the projectile to ~340 m/s. At higher power settings, the projectile has a higher muzzle velocity. On full power (the standard setting), the muzzle velocity is roughly 2.2 km/s. However, it should be noted that using the weapon at lower power settings (including the subsonic setting) will quite noticeably decrease the muzzle energy and effective range.
    • Rylith Power Cell - 400 Shot Capacity
  • Utility and Safety Systems
h3KdqR9.png

  • Kinetic Train: The KSMG-7 Mk. II has a very high damage potential when discharged on the active power mode, which uses both chemical propulsion and linear motor rails to accelerate the projectile to hypersonic velocity. This extreme velocity imparts the handgun caliber-sized projectile with kinetic force roughly equivalent to that of a light anti-materiel projectile, giving the weapon a very high chance to penetrate heavy personal and light vehicle-grade armor.
  • Surgical: While it lacks the range to be a sniper platform, the KSMG-7 Mk. II is very accurate and precise within its effective firing range.
  • Witch Blood: Integrated terentatek hide gives the KSMG-7 Mk. II a stunning resistance to direct applications of the Force, particularly mechu-deru and similar technology manipulating powers. This allows non-Force-sensitive users to engage Force-wielders with confidence and security in the integrity of their weapon.
  • Symbiotic Fire-by-Thought: The FAE/S-07 enables fire-by-thought actuation, reducing reaction time to the speed of neural transmission rather than mechanical trigger pull. When linked to compatible armor or HUD, the user can acquire targets, operate the weapon’s functions, and fire with zero perceptible delay. This allows for split-second responses against multiple threats, giving the user a decisive advantage in close-quarters duels.
  • Shapeshifter: The ergonomics are not fixed. Programmable matter within the weapon’s frame reshapes itself to the user’s hand upon biometric verification, creating a perfect anatomical fit for any species, cybernetic configuration, or armored glove. Controls can be repositioned or re-mapped via neural, blink, and voice command. A Twi’lek, a Besalisk, and a human wearing thick gauntlets will each experience the KSMG-7 Mk. II as if it were custom-built for them alone.
  • Rapier: While the KSMG-7 Mk. II is average-sized for a weapon of its class, as an SMG it is lighter and more maneuverable than a rifle. Thus, it is an ideal weapon for the shooter who needs to engage targets in a quick and snappy manner, while remaining light on their feet.
QF94b2S.png

  • Ammunition Weight: Although more efficient than conventional slugthrowers which require propellant in order to fire, the KSMG-7 Mk. II needs both physical ammunition and power cells. Thus, compared to energy weapons of the same class, the weapon’s ammunition is less mass and space-efficient.
  • Double Blade: The high explosive and explosive-incendiary ammunition types can represent a risk to the user. A penetrating shot to the magazine could destabilize ammunition cores, potentially triggering sympathetic detonations which risk setting off all of the slugs at once.
  • Storm Surge: As the KSMG-7 Mk. II exclusively utilizes a verpine linear motor to fire, it is uniquely susceptible to EMP and Ion-based assaults. Unlike a typical slugthrower which utilizes chemical propellant, the weapon quite feasibly be wholly disabled should it be hit by a powerful ionizing discharge that overcomes its defenses.
  • Blast Back: High explosive, CryoBan, and explosive-incendiary ammunition types may pose a severe hazard to the wielder if they are used at particularly close range, notably if the shooter fires at a target while inside the blast radii of the respective ammunition types.
  • Inertia Damper Dependency: The recoil mitigating inertial damper is an active electronic system. If the damper fails, whether due to battle damage, EMP (despite the hardening), or a software glitch, the KSMG-7 Mk. II will immediately become uncontrollable in full-auto or burst fire. The recoil impulse will walk the muzzle to the sky after 2–3 rounds, making aimed fire virtually impossible. This creates a single point of failure: without the inertial damper, the operator is reduced to semi-automatic only, and even then, follow-up shots may be punishingly slow.

Easily filling the niche of a special purpose kinetic SMG within the Kainate small arms armory, the Kainate Submachine Gun Model Seven Second Rendition is a railgun slugthrower SMG that is capable of punching far above its own weight and caliber. While slug weapons are often viewed as unconventional in a modern battlespace where energy weapons reign supreme, the KSMG-7 Mk. II holds its own due to its fast fire rate, excellent stopping power, and compact frame. In terms of its damage potential, the weapon fires an 85 grain (special or non-standard rounds only vary negligibly from this mass) projectile at 2.2 km/s, giving it a muzzle energy akin to an light anti-materiel round—13 kilojoules. With this, the weapon is ideal for engaging heavy power armor-clad infantry and light vehicles. Even in the event that penetration fails, the projectile can impart blunt kinetic force on impact, generating concussive waves of overpressure that can shatter bones and rupture organs.

Still, the KSMG-7 Mk. II has limitations that weigh consideration. Its magazines are larger and heavier than comparative blaster pistol-scale power scales, limiting how the amount of ammunition can be carried. The recoil mitigating inertia damper is a single point of failure, the failure of which could cause the weapon to become uncontrollable. Finally, while the weapon fires its projectile at hypersonic speeds, the effective range is limited by poor accuracy past 300 meters.

Nevertheless, the KSMG-7 Mk. II is hoped to offer an exciting upgrade to the outmoded KSMG-7, bolstering Sith-loyal soldiers, operatives, and combatants with a weapon option that is just as mobile as it is deadly.

It should be noted that the KSMG-7 Mk. II is manufactured exclusively by the Kainate. However, the weapon was also made available to other, non-Kainate groups in the Sith Order. These groups however are often made to pay a tithe to Malsheem in exchange for access to the weapon.
