STRENGTHS

• (+) Repeating Particle Blaster: fires a particle beam that is explosive, detonating in a low-yield pop on impact; this actinic yellow explosive bolt is capable of carving out fist-sized divots in ferrocrete, and, as a particle bolt, this beam cannot be reflected by lightsabers.
• (+) Accurate Sustained Fire: the TC-20 excels at laying down withering fire while maintaining accuracy over long distances.
• (+) Rugged: the TC-20 can be handled much more roughly than the standard blaster, and keep firing as designed across a variety of environments.

WEAKNESSES

• (-) Bulky: the TC-20 is physically large, requiring two hands and a shoulder strap to carry it.
• (-) Ammunition Hog: the TC-20 uses an attachable power bank (brick-sized power cell) which, in addition to being heavy and bulky, limits how many backup cells a soldier can carry.
• (-) Heavy: the TC-20 is heavy and poorly balanced, and tends to be front heavy due to the thick galven coils in the barrel of the weapon.

DESCRIPTION
The Tetron Centrex TC-20 Light Repeating Particle Blaster is Tetron Centrex's take on the venerable T-21 Light Repeating Blaster, the TC-20 excels at laying down a withering barrage of bolts while staying laser accurate at medium ranges.

While the T-21 suffered from ammunition issues and often had to be connected to a dedicated power generator to augment its small 30 round capacity, the TC-20 works around this by utilizing Power Banks - brick-sized power cells that slot into the side of the weapon that can power one hundred rounds before needing a replacement bank. Ultimately, this makes the TC-20 more viable as a stand-alone platform than the older T-21, though it still suffers from ammunition management issues due to the weight and size of the power banks - soldiers typically only being able to carry four or five at a time. Like its predecessor, the T-20 can be connected to a dedicated power generator via an integrated power port connector.

Like all weaponry in the TC-Series, this platform is constructed with magnabolted rivets, inert-power-insulated wires, matter composite shock dampers, gel injected airseals, and is dipped in preservative coatings. Weapons in the TC-Series can be bashed against a rock, dropped in mud, then rolled in sand and still fire as designed.
