• Weight: Heavy
• Ammunition Type: Core-Linked Corrupted Plasma Feed
• Ammunition Capacity: Very Large
• Effective Range: Long Range
• Rate of Fire: Low
• Damage Output: Very High
• Recoil: Average

• Sith Beamfire Configuration: Fires thick, red-black pulses of dark plasma designed to penetrate shielding and hull armor with equal ferocity.
• Psychic Lash Effect: On impact, generates a localized psychic rupture that briefly disrupts enemy coordination and cognitive clarity.
• Soulfire Residue: Each hit leaves behind a ghostly trace of dark energy that continues to degrade physical matter cohesion over a short period.
• Rune-Bound Beam Focus: Internal rune-etched focusing cores prevent beam diffusion and maintain cohesion through most conventional dispersion fields.
• Howl of Ruin: Upon discharge, the weapon produces a distinct sonic resonance akin to a scream, intended to disrupt morale and alert Force-sensitives.
• Dark Channel Stabilizers: Plasma channels are fortified with sith stabilizers to prevent internal overload, ensuring the weapon functions under duress without catastrophic recoil.

• Brutal Penetration: Engineered to tear through starfighter armor and light corvette plating, the Qorrak beam makes short work of traditional shielding layers.
• Dark Harm: Beamfire infused with Sith signatures can cause deep trauma, particularly disruptive to force users.
• Residual Damage: The soulfire trace continues to burn into impacted surfaces or systems after impact, creating attritional pressure even from a single strike.
• Psychological Warfare: The howl effect and dark visual signature are deliberately unsettling, contributing to fear-based combat superiority.

• Slow Firing Cycle: The weapon's immense power draw requires significant cooldown between shots, leaving brief windows of vulnerability between volleys.
• Force Nullification: Loses most of its dark edge and psychic effects in Ysalamiri fields, voidstone proximity, and similar environments.

The Qorrak Heavy Lash Cannon Mk. I is the apex of dark energy beamfire technology within the Kainate war doctrine, more than just a weapon, it is a declaration of sith supremacy. Forged in the arcane chambers of Malsheem Hypernautics, the Qorrak was born of a directive from Darth Prazutis himself: create a weapon that does not simply kill, but terrifies, scars, and defiles.

Mounted aboard elite Sith vessels, the Qorrak Cannon channels condensed streams of plasma through a bloodsteel barrel enshrined in Sith runes. Each beam fires with a screeching resonance, the "Howl of Ruin", and tears across space in arcs of red-black flame. Upon striking its target, the cannon delivers devastating physical impact while unleashing a secondary "lash", briefly disorienting and unbalancing nearby pilots or targeting systems.

What sets the Qorrak apart is its residual Soulfire effect: damage continues even after the beam passes, as dark flame clings to hull plates and sensitive systems. This energy is particularly painful to Force-sensitives. The dark element, however, limits its functionality in Force Nullification making deployment strategic and dependent on the environment.

It is not without its costs. Its firing cycle is slow and deliberate, requiring precise timing and squadron coordination. But when it lands, it annihilates. The Qorrak represents not just firepower, but a symbol of what it means to cross the Kainate.
