SPECIAL FEATURES
- Building off the design of the AI-800 "Aureal' Combined Energy Bow, Shadowlight utilizes much of the same technology in its base construction. The weapon has a more focused variance in its projectile types, more fitting for the individual the bow was created for:
- Energy Arrows
- Standard - An energy arrow that has enhanced damage output due to the Sianteria used in the bow's power pack.
- Overclocked - An unstable energy arrow is produced that explodes on contact.
- Plasma - An unstable energy arrow is produced that discharges plasma when it strikes a target, burning through the surface or energy field it impacts against.
- Sniper - A thin energy arrow is produced that can travel further distances, striking targets across the battlefield.
- Nanite Arrows
- Standard - A monomolecular edged tip allows it to pierce through many types of armor.
- Fletchette - When this arrowhead nears a target, it will splinter into a swarm of four to eight smaller projectiles depending on the length and thickness of the original arrow.
- Explosive - When this arrowhead is fabricated, the molecular furnace creates a small amount of detonite within the arrowhead, and when it impacts on a target, the kinetic force is transferred to it and it explodes in a 2-meter circumference.
- Armor-Piercing - When this arrowhead is fabricated, it creates a barbed tip designed to specifically punch through tougher armors such as beskar or phrik to a limited degree and depending on the thickness of the armor.
- Kyberite - When this arrow is fabricated, thin strands of kyberite are created from the molecular furnace and threaded through the nanites along the length of the armor and in the arrowhead. The strands of kyberite better contain Force energies channeled into the arrow.
- Energy Arrows
- The quiver issued with the bow utilizes Aurora Industries' miniaturized molecular furnace to fabricate the nanites needed to create the various arrows and arrowheads the user can fire. To fabricate arrows, the user only needs to place a chunk of material and the furnace will break it down and reconstruct it into the base nanites. By using either a connected HUD or a control pad located on the standard issue bow glove, the user can cycle through and create the desired arrow(s) and arrowhead(s). At any Aurora Industries kiosk or facility, or if the user is skilled in technical modifications and the buyer can personalize and even create new arrowheads for their own personal use.
- In case the power packs and nanites run out, in the heat of combat, the bow itself can be used as a melee weapon as the edges of the bow have a trimantium and mullinine edge.
- The incorporation of a Solari Crystal at the center of the bow enhances light side Force powers that are channeled through the bow and its arrows by its user, increasing the potency of powers such as Force Light.
- The incorporation of two Dantari Crystals at either end of the bow enhances the focus and abilities of the bonded user, increasing their ability to recover Force energies they have expended by cycling the Force back into the user.
- Like all Aurora Industries' weapons, Shadowlight has a great deal of versatility for its wielder, allowing them to deal with multiple situations on the battlefield with a high degree of stopping power in various formats.
- The quiver of the bow, using a molecular furnace, can generate nanites that create the various physical arrows and arrowheads. The quiver is connected to the bow glove's control pad for ease of fabrication but can also be connected to a user's helmet HUD or even ocular cybernetics.
- Shadowlight can be used as a melee weapon if needed due to its trimantium and mullinine edge.
- The inclusion of Dantari and Solari Crystals allow the user to better channel Force energies and attacks into their arrows, while also enhancing their focus and ability to recover expended energies.
- If the quiver runs out of nanites, it cannot generate the physical projectiles until the wielder places materials into it and the quiver is given time to breakdown and reassemble the material into more nanites, a process that can take between a couple of seconds to several minutes depending on how many arrows have been used previously.
- While Sianteria plasma is stable, if the power pack is overloaded or shot, it will still explode and likely greatly injure the target due to the plasma discharge.
- While the inclusion of Dantari and Solari Crystals enhance the weapon's ability to channel and focus the Force, it does create a strong light-side presence in the Force that, if the user does not cloak in some manner, can give away their position to other Force users.
In the modern era of the galaxy, one could reasonably assume that Jedi and Sith would never create a weapon for someone of the opposing side. A Jedi would never wield something touched by the dark side, distrustful of anything that might be intended to corrupt them. A Sith would never imagine wielding a weapon of the light as it could very well endanger their ability to wield the dark side themselves, weakening them. But the creator of the bow was not a normal Sith, and its intended owner was not a normal Jedi.
The creator of the bow took and enhanced an Aureal Combined Energy Bow, dusting off some old notes and abilities in the process as she knew its intended owner loved to channel the Force and the light through her arrows. Recovering, at great time and expense, two Dantari crystals and a Solari crystal, she began weaving the three crystals into the structure of the bow using the alkahest techniques she once helped pioneered in the Jedi of the Republic. The dark side could not touch the bow, for fear it might disable the Solari as she weaved them together, so she had to temporarily seal her dark side powers away to once again channel the light.
Once it was finished, it would be delivered to the current residence of Allyson Locke along with a short note that merely said "An overdue Life Day present. May it serve you well in the times ahead. TR. P.S. I know you'll check this for any devices or traps, but we both know that isn't my style in regard to you."
