PRODUCTION INFORMATION

• Manufacturer: Mahporeem Imperial Remnant.
• Affiliation: Mahporeem Imperial Remnant.
• Market Status: Closed Market.
• Model: Mahporeenian Doubler.
• Modularity: Yes, can be scaled to fit on most models of blasters.
• Production: Minor.
• Material:
  • Plastoid
  • Durasteel
  • Beam Gems
  • Electronic Components

SPECIAL FEATURES

• Combines a Beam Splitter and a Heavy Blaster Actuator in a relatively compact package
  • The Beam Splitter component consists of three Beam Gems salvaged from navigation computers
• Capable of increasing the damage of blasters equipped with the Mahporeenian Doubler by one stage
  • For example, a blaster with Average damage would instead output High damage, and one with High damage would output Very High damage
• The more powerful the blaster is, the smaller the damage bonus provided by the Mahporeenian Doubler is
  • Blasters with High damage are just barely able to output Very High damage, and blasters with Very High damage receive such an inconsequential damage boost that it is impossible for them to output Extreme damage
• Can be used with nearly any type of Blaster Power Pack and Blaster Gas

STRENGTHS

• Double or nothing: As it name suggests, the Mahporeenian Doubler is capable of increasing the firepower of nearly any blaster that it is attached to, effectively "doubling" the intensity of blaster bolts fired through it
• Small: Unlike Trandoshan Doublers or Triplers, the Mahporeenian Doubler is far smaller and more compact, making it much easier to utilize on blasters
• Modular: Mahporeenian Doublers can be scaled to fit on most models of blasters, and will work with nearly any type of Blaster Power Pack and Blaster Gas
• Quick detach: Mahporeenian Doublers are designed to be installed and removed quickly, requiring minimal time and effort to do so

WEAKNESSES

• Diminishing returns: The more powerful the blaster, the smaller the damage boost that the Mahporeenian Doubler provides, effectively making the device worthless when installed on blasters with "Very High" damage
• Loud: The Mahporeenian Doubler makes any blaster that it is attached to incredibly loud, negating any chance of stealth from those using it
• Constricting: When placed on a blaster, the Mahporeenian Doubler prevents the use of extra or additional muzzle devices
• Blasters only: Mahporeenian Doublers can only be attached to certain kinds of blaster pistols and rifles

DESCRIPTION

With the rate of technological advancement in the galaxy, cutting edge weapons may become antiquated or obsolete within months, forcing factions to constantly update and upgrade their weapons, an expensive and time consuming process. The Mahporeem Imperial Remnant, in an attempt to extend the service life of their various different armaments, has developed a device called the "Mahporeenian Doubler", which can be attached to nearly any kind of blaster pistol or blaster rifle.

Based on the Trandoshan Doubler and Trandoshan Tripler, the Mahporeenian Doubler is designed to increase the firepower of any blaster that it is attached to, effectively "doubling" the power of any blaster bolt that travels through it. The Mahporeenian Doubler achieves this by having the blaster bolt travel through an additional Beam Splitter and Heavy Blaster Actuator, vastly increasing the strength and intensity of any weapon the Mahporeenian Doubler is attached to, though the device only works with blasters.

The damage boost provided by the Mahporeenian Doubler is inversely proportional to the power of the blaster attached to it, as in the stronger the blaster, the smaller the damage boost provided. Weak blasters receive a rather large damage boost while the strongest blasters receive such an inconsequential damage boost that they are better off not equipping the item at all, so that they can instead utilize different muzzle devices.

Nonetheless, the Imperial Remnant believes that these Mahporeenian Doublers will enable them to stay competitive against their various foes and enemies, ones who seemingly continue to develop ever more well defended armor sets and vehicles, no matter how much time passes or what weapons fall in and out of use.
