Since rejoining the greater galactic community, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has been encountering Force-Sensitives in far larger numbers than anticipated. Men like
Ronhar Tane
have found themselves face to face with both Jedi and Sith, oftentimes engaging in personal combat with them. To effectively fight these threats, the Mahporeem Imperial Remnant has begin investing in anti-force technologies, producing a number of different weapons that are specifically tailored to take down Jedi and Sith.As a direct response to the organic horrors encountered on Brosi, the Imperial Remnant has begun production of the Mahporeem Acid Rifle, or MAR. Acid Rifles, as their namesake might suggest, fire concentrated "streams" or individual "blobs" of acid toward their targets. The acid used in these weapons is highly corrosive, able to melt or "chew through" most materials with ease.
Against Jedi and Sith, acid is difficult to fully block with a lightsaber, as the potential for the acid to "splash" its victim is always present. While another potent weapon for use against Jedi and Sith, the Mahporeem Acid Rifle is not without its flaws, as it is a relatively short ranged weapon and prone to inflicting friendly fire with its acid splashing. That being said, these are small tradeoffs for a weapon of its destructive potential.
