DESCRIPTION
The marauder and weapons collector Scherezade deWinter won this pistol in a gunslinger contest on Zonju V. The disreputable Rodian who handed it over said its name was the Parasite. At some point, an unknown Qektoth inventor miniaturized a shield leech weapon from capital scale down to pistol form. The resulting weapon is pretty great at stripping away or punching through personal shields or even larger ones. Against flesh or armor, the Parasite's beam will hit like a light blaster pistol.

If the Parasite is hooked up to something that can take or dispose of a serious power influx, it could theoretically drain even facility-grade shielding in an hour or two of uninterrupted use. It would take, at a guess, a couple of decades to harm planetary shielding, and would probably burn out before then no matter what it was hooked up to.
