DESCRIPTION
The REC-SMC/01 "Unmaker" - Pattern Sustained Maser Rifle was the newest weapon produced by the Republic Engineering Corporation for use by their Security Forces, the Thyrsian Sun Guard, and select Clientele. The people were greedy, and wanted more. The Corporation wanted to fulfill their desires, and make fistfuls of credits along the way. So, they embarked upon a journey that would bring them closer to an acceptable outcome - one that'd open up more opportunities down the line. It all began as a personal project by one of the senior technicians. They managed to obtain several Chiss weapons through their connections in the Golden Company, who in turn retrieved them from dead soldiers on killing fields of Copero. From that point forward, they set about trying to learn all they could about these enigmatic weapons. How they worked, and how they operated. That was when the man made a breakthrough.

When the corporate heads found out about his project, they didn't forcibly dismantle the pilfered weapons as others would have expected. No. Instead, the Corporation saw fit to uplift the man and give him a team to see his ideas realized. To that end, the team began following their leader's route and started to learn the secrets of Chiss weaponry. Once they were all on the same page, they collectively worked towards reverse engineering the weapon - creating their own version - rather than being wholly reliant on scavenged warspoil. It took them a considerable measure of time, that resulted in several failed projects, burst blood vessels, and the consumption of seventeen litres of top-shelf alcohol. But, they did it. They unlocked the secrets of Maser technology, and were able to expand upon its uses - in similar veins to how laser technology evolved in the Galaxy proper. The possibilities were endless now.

From that myriad, branching path that lay before them, the designers elected to create a weapon - one that hadn't been attempted before. In many ways, Maser weapons were similar to their Blaster counterparts. Therefore, it was logical for them to explore the aspects of sustainable beams - that'd constantly bombard their intended target with an uncanny lethality until they perished. If their targets were cloaked in metallic armour? Well, that just made things all the more interesting. Because of the fundamental properties of maser weapons, the radiation emitted by the particle bolt would react with alloys - electrifying the metal, and likely frying any organic matter attached to it. What made the sustained beam truly horrifying, however, was that after a prolonged exposure to the weapon's discharge - there was a possibility that the organic target could explode. Such was the byproduct of a myriad arcane technologies, bound together in a single, projected beam. The body would become like a kernel of corn trapped within an irradiated oven.

As with any type of maser weaponry, it came with a non-lethal setting that turned off the particle beam projector - and bathed the target in a specially tuned EM-radiation which disrupted neurological patterns. Meaning, that whomsoever was struck by the projected beam - and if they were not radiation shielded? They'd drop to their knees as their body temporarily ceased to function. There were even rumours about this non-lethal setting being capable of boiling a target's brain in their head; provided the emitter had enough power. Like the new, sustained beams - once thought to be only a concept - the very same design team set out to enhance this EM-beam's properties; allowing the weapon to kill in a multitude of ways.

With such a weapon in hand? Truly, the battlefield would become Hell once more.
