OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
PRODUCTION INFORMATION

  • Manufacturer: Nadir

  • Model: NADIR G-SERIES Godkiller bolt

  • Affiliation: Closed-Market

  • Modularity: /

  • Production: Limited

  • Material: Gaseous Pelko vector, Gaseous ixetal ciona
SPECIAL FEATURES

  • Penetrates armor

  • Weakens connection to the Force
Strengths:

  • Forc—: The ixetal ciona greatly weakens a person’s connection to the Force. However, it needs time to filter into the bloodstream. Depending on the duration of exposure to the gaseous cloud, this period of weakened connection can last as little as half a minute to as much as five.

  • Infiltrator: Vectored on the pelko, the ixetal ciona penetrates armor. This is a gradual process, taking anywhere from ten seconds to a full minute, depending on the quality and layers of the armor in question. Do not expect immediate results.
Weaknesses:

  • Friendly fire: Anyone caught inside the cloud will be affected. Because Force users tend to fight close-quarters, it’s extremely difficult to target only the enemy and exclude the ally from the detrimental effects. Furthermore, with the swiftness that Force users can move around a battlefield, it’s entirely possible that an allied Force user will move into a cloud you’ve previously fired at an isolated enemy.

  • No boom: Unlike particle bolts formed from tibanna, the ones formed from the gaseous ixetal ciona don’t deliver any concussion or energy damage upon explosion.

  • Exorbitant: Due to the cost of production, this blaster gas is absurdly expensive. However, because of Nadir’s peculiar business model for the G-series, the price is not in credits – rather one of favors and objects of great value.
DESCRIPTION

The Godkiller bolt is the crowning achievement of the specialized blaster gas line produced by Nadir. In the effort to offer new ways of battling Force users, Nadir has reached the absolute pinnacle.

While Force-breaker grenades have been around for decades, they suffer from several drawbacks. Certain types can still be manipulated mid-air; all of them have a short effective range, requiring the mercenary to come dangerously close to the Space mage; accuracy is far from ideal; and, finally, a grenade requires time. Even if the merc is skilled enough to cook it, the explosive still operates on a timer, thus offering the target a window of opportunity in which a Force user can do a great many things.

Ever open to concerns and troubles of their customer base, Nadir set out to address these problems, and now emerges victorious with the Guerrilla-series Godkiller bolt.

On the wings of the great strides made with the E-series Anti-armor bolthttp://starwarsrp.net/topic/112404-nadir-e-series-anti-armor-bolt/, the G-series is simply the logical last step. The pelko toxin is used as the vector agent for the ixetal ciona, better known by its street name of ‘Deathsticks’. As a major trading hub for weapons and drugs alike, Nadir has easy access to large quantities of the substance they required in their experiments with the gas. Though the goal had initially been to simply tack on the opiate and let the pelko wreak agonizing havoc upon the body by its side, labwork quickly showed that such would be impossible. Eventually, Nadir had to make a choice – pain or loss of the Force – and picked the latter.

The process of slicing, dicing, and splicing molecules is, of course, entirely too costly to provide a widely available solution. As a G-series product, the Godkiller bolt is thus not on the market in the usual sense. It can only be purchased through the exchange of favors or objects of similar value, further contributing to its renown.

At the end of the day, however, the bolt still behaves much like an ordinary particle bolt formed from tibanna – the only difference is, of course, the lack of a super-heated explosion. Upon being met with an obstacle – be it a solid object or the effect of a Force push – the unstable particles will dissipate into a poisonous cloud seeping into anything within its radius.

Because of the ixetal ciona added to the gaseous pelko, the Godkiller bolt is darker than usual, an odd color that would be best described as a dull red.
