PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: Hydian-Wyl
Affiliation: Hydian-Wyl
Market Status: Open-Market
Model: Neutron Torch
Modularity: No
Production: Mass-Produced
Material: Durasteel, machinery
SPECIAL FEATURES:
Omni-Destructive: The Neutron Torch is capable of vaporizing matter on contact, inorganic or otherwise, making it a highly efficient mining laser… or an improvised anti-personnel and anti-armor technology.
Precise Control: By design, the torch’s beam can be controlled to alter its size and energy output. This means Neutron Torches can be scaled based on available power draw and form factor.
WEAKNESSES
High Energy: Energy requirements prevent the beam from being sustained for more than several seconds per shot. Exceeding this warranty-violating limit can lead to explosive malfunctions and unwanted death.
Power Draw: Due to high energy demands, Neutron Torches must draw from the main reactor of whatever vehicle or starship they are installed on. Mismanagement may cause critical power failures. This also prevents it from being conveniently used as a handheld device.
DESCRIPTION
The Neutron Torch is a class of mining laser, derived from neutron cannon technology and Treaded Neutron Torch schematics. The technology - rebranded as a Hydian-Wyl staple - has been reintroduced as a powerful and highly effective alternative to traditional mining lasers. It is capable of being installed on anything from a single-seater mining vehicle to a capital-sized starship. However, the output is entirely dependent on the size of the emitter and class of its power source, tying its effectiveness to scale and reactor quality.
The technology has also been used as an improvised weapon with very deadly results, leading to bans within some systems. However, the Neutron Torch is not a perfect weapon. Power inefficiencies and high energy requirements prevent it from being fired in anything except bursts, often with increasing delays between shots to mitigate overheating and power failure. Additionally, the Neutron Torch is no more effective against shields than conventional energy weapons and cannot be used to disable starships or vehicles in the same capacity as disruptors.
Cost-effective, easy to manufacture, and intended for commercial use, the Neutron Torch has become highly accessible within galactic markets. It has seen the bulk of its use within the Outer Rim and Wild Space, where “mass extraction” mining is commonplace and preferred to selective operations, particularly in remote systems where regulations are lax or nonexistent.
