Kael Rose
Ex-Teepo Paladin
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Karren Trask found Kael Rose while on a Jedi-swap meet of sorts, and the two began to talk shop. Her specifications for DL-44's modification included a triple barrel and the change from a traditional stun mode to a Ssi-Ruuvi Ion Beam. Both of these are jobs Kael has completed for other weapons before, so modding it onto a standard DL-44 was not difficult.
The result is a DL-44 which consumes a rather large amount of power per trigger pull, firing three blaster bolts or one Ssi-Ruuvi Ion beam. These both perform admirably against lightsaber wielders, with ssi-ruuvi ion beams redirecting around standard lightsabers and triple bolts trying to get a single bolt past a lightsaber's deflection. The three bolts each do about as much as you'd expect from a DL-44, while the Ssi-Ruuiv Ion beam can often paralyze a limb for a small duration in a single shot on less resilient beings. It is notable that the Ssi-Ruuvi Ion Beam can be deflected by a lightsaber, provided it is specially modified. This modification does however, make the lightsaber unable to deflect traditional blaster bolts.
Overall "The Karren" gives Karren Trask a variety of options on how to deal with high-priority foes using lethal or humane methods of combat.

- Triple Barrel - Shoots three blaster bolts
- Ssi-Ruuvi Stun Mode - shoots ssi-ruuvi paddle bolt for stun mode
- Triple Barrel - two extra barrels are added to the standard DL-44 to form a triangle of barrels, which geometrically makes it extremely difficult for opposing lightsaber wielders to deflect the entirety of blaster bolts.
- Ssi-Ruuvi Stun Mode - Shoots a single Ssi-Ruuvi paddle beamer bolt as a stun mode, allowing for ethical disabling of targets, along with bypassing standard lightsaber bolts and many armors.
- Hungry- By shooting three standard bolts or Ssi-Ruuvi bolts the Karren is a very ammo hungry weapon, having a small 15 shot powercell usage in either mode in comparison to the standard DL-44 having around 50 shots.
- Triple Barrel - The DL-44 isn't designed to accommodate 3 barrels, and while Kael did weigh the grip a bit more to compensate the Karren is still a very barrel heavy weapon. This makes it more difficult to aim, and more strenuous to use over time.
- Extra deflection - While a triple barrel usually means one shot bypasses a lightsaber, it also means that two blaster bolts are being deflected. This can make it difficult to minimize collateral damage at best, and mean two blaster bolts are coming back at you at worst.
