Intent: To Provide an Invasion Reward for the One Sith who were at Manaan and honor the newest Hand who led the charge against the Republic in sinking Ahto City
Development Thread:

• Invasion of Manaan - Progenitor captured and killed
• Dominion of Sev-Tok - Crystal created and tested against locals.

Manufacturer: Krayt
Affiliation: One Sith
Modularity: Focusing crystal can be changed (would require a new submission)
Production: Semi-Unique (invasion reward)
Material:

• Alchemically Hardened Durasteel
• Synthetic Crystal
• Progenitor Scale

Classification: Light Blaster
Size: Handheld
Length: .3m
Weight: 4kg
Ammunition Type: Darkside tainted crystal
Ammunition Capacity: Theoretically Infinite but can only fire one shot as a time and needs to be charged with energy and does not function on worlds without the force
Effective Range: 5m
Rate of Fire: Single Action (five second charge)
Special Features:

• Penetrating Shots
• Alchemically hardened
  Darkside Aura
• Saber Resistant

Description: Built with the scales of the progenitor as decoration on the hilt. The Sith's light blaster is a new version of an old model using saber crystals instead of mined crystals and with synthetic crystals created from mephite and other force crystals to allow force users to empower and charge it. The crystal has been altered with alchemy to be stronger and resonate with the force user who holds it. Able to take energy and convert it into power for the light blaster. The effect is a shot with less strength but the force user's own energy can become the ammunition for the gun with their focus and force energies. This provides a few disadvantages as the user would not be able to fire the gun on worlds like Myrkr, their need to focus the force for several seconds to fire off a shot. There are also a few benefits with rare crystal's possibly being able to be used but the effects are unknown, stronger force crystals such as Kyber and pontite to make the shots stronger.

I am taking this on since its been over 5 days and no one else has.

First of all, i like the idea of this, but i have been wracking my brain and trying to find any sort of example of focusing crystals actually powering anything, even with the use of the force put into them. Is there any way canon example that you have of this?

The T-32S light blaster was a model of blaster that was produced during the waning years of the Galactic Republic. They contained focusing crystals that were mined on the moon Tilnes, and attained popularity among smugglers as a result of their small size and powerful penetrative abilities

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Force_crystal

The mighty Subjugator-class heavy cruiser, Devastation, utilized Force crystals to power its pair of gigantic ion cannons, giving them enough power to blow through planets and capital ships alike.

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Kyber_crystal

After the fall of the Galactic Republic and the rise of the Galactic Empire, Sidious—publicly known as Emperor Sheev Palpatine—and his Empire constructed the Death Star, a battle station capable of destroying entire planets. Kyber crystals were used as part of the Death Star,

They have altered the canon somewhat the kyper crystal is now a force crystal that powers super weapons.

There are other types of crystals used to power weapons and equipment
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Seoularian_crystal
Was used and able to actually be a weapons releasing a shockwave

http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Dragite_crystal
Appeared as a power source first in the comics and then later as a game tech

Game ones used
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rylith_crystal
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Midlithe_crystal
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Rylith_power_cell - uses the crystal to power it and increase output
http://starwars.wikia.com/wiki/Nova_crystal

There are crystals being used to power weapons and in star wars nearly all crystals can be used in a lightsaber. It is a short jump to believing they could be recharged with the force. If they use a different source of power there are force techniques that could power things. The techniques to disable and destroy droids was by overloading them, lightning could be used to charge up, pyrokinesis and pyrospray for burning and providing heat. Much like bacta and kolto I would say powering weapons with crystals gets more complicated the deeper you go into it. They changed the entire official canon to having a crystal that is strong in the force be what created the superlaser of the death star. Not a technological terror as it has been for all these years. It is a weapon powered by a kyper crystal a large one that is force sensitive.

Right, I'm well aware that Crystals can be used to power things in the Star Wars universe. Energy crystals are a thing.

However, Focusing Crystals are not, and have not ever been used as a power source. They're for...well Focusing, not powering weapons.

There is a big difference between the two and that difference is stated in canon. Your argument for lightsabers makes no sense because a lightsabers power comes from a Diatium Power Cell. Similarly, the other crystals you mentioned aren't focusing crystals, they're all sources of energy, including the Kyber Crystals which were...well giant.

Now, in the end, I'm actually okay with the concept for this because its not actually that OP or anything, but i'm not comfortable with simply taking that step without any development, even though you listed the Invasion as development there is absolutely no relevance to something like this(unless i missed something big).

So, if you do a separate development thread of creating a crystal for exactly this purpose, then i will approve this with the understanding that abuse will see much suffering and yelling.

[member="Soliael Devin Talith"] the manaan invasion is for the decorative scaled handle and as reference for the invasion participants.

I'll get a dev thread for the crystal up today.

Dominion used for deving and testing crystal and gun. Made the edits to reflect it in the sub.

 

[Soliath Devin Talith]

Okay.

With the understanding that abuse of this will be very bad, and further development of this kind of technology will take more threads and more time, i am tentatively approving this.
