DESCRIPTION
"Once upon a time, Disruptor weapons were considered illegal by the Galaxy for their uncaring nature and technological prowess. It was, put simply, the process in which a blaster bolt was created - but taken to another level. Instead of vaporizing the matter that surrounded the impact point, leaving what’s known as carbon scoring, the disruptor blast broke the atomic bonds that bind matter together. In a way, it forcibly tore apart its target; turning whatever remained into their primordial, constituent parts. All matter, as we know it, is a form of stellar dust, after all. The Class-D variant was considered, at that time - and in this era of rediscovery - to be the epitome of Disruptor technology. It was, quite literally, a weaponized delete key from one of the many terminals populating the stars.
Whatever was struck by these beams, simply ceased to be.
What made them so abhorrent to our ancestors, and especially the Jedi Knights of that Era, was that it erased the essence of the intended target from the Force. It denied the Jedi, and Sith alike a chance to reincarnate - or join with the fabric of the universe. Therefore, those ancient Knights saw fit to civilize the known Galaxy to stop the widespread use of these deadly weapons. With their influence in the Republic senate? Well, they got what they wanted. That didn’t stop those who ignored or didn’t abide by Republic laws and sanctions to keep creating these weapons, however. These disruptors and their lesser kin thrived in the seedy underworld until the light of civilization itself was torn asunder by the plague."
~ Khonsu Amon, Supreme Sun Guardian; Excerpt from “On Technological Supremacy.”
In the aftermath of the Pantora Campaign, the Thyrsian Sun Guards found themselves relishing their bitter victory alongside the Sith Empire, over the armed forces of the Outer Rim Coalition. Several systems were despoiled along their route back to Sith-Imperial space - including the populous moon of Nar Shaddaa. In that victorious conquest and acts of rampant piracy, the Sun Guards came across a hidden facility, that was forcibly excised during the bombardment from one of their allied warbands. Knowing that the most valuable technology and information were sequestered within such vaults, the Supreme Sun guardian launched an expedition of its cavernous depths.
Through familiar spinal corridors, the Gilded Warriors scoured every darkened nook and cranny; only to be met with muted shadows and dust. It seemed like nothing would be found within this newly revealed vault; a notion that was cast aside once they reached the final chamber. After cutting through the blast-shields, and entering the metallically-rendered expanse thereafter, the Thyrsian Expedition bore witness to a single weapon; hovering above a pedestal in seemingly pristine condition. There were no records of its mysterious Origins, nor was there a model or a serial number of any kind, leading the adventurous party to believe that this scattergun was a prototypical relic of a bygone era.
What data they could recover from the corrupted databanks, however, detailed the immense capabilities of this weapon. Of how it was capable of deleting an intended target from the very skeins of the Force itself; giving them a true death without an afterlife, or a marginal chance of resurrection. Khonsu was thrilled at this. Not only because of its capabilities, but of the hellish deterrent this weapon presented. Their relationship with the Sith Empire was better-than-good, but eventually - such bonds of fellowship would fade. The Warlord knew this. Not only from studying in the depths of the Shadow Hand’s secret athenaeum but from his people’s recollection of their near-extinction in the aftermath of Palpatine’s rise to power. He needed something that would safeguard his people, should their ever-voracious predations ever turn towards the sands of Thyrsus.
Thus, this prototype scattergun was affectionately named the Godkiller and found itself in a place of honour amongst the Supreme Sun Guardian’s possessions.
