DESCRIPTION
Due to their veneration, and subsequent mastery of and over the Sun; the Thyrsian’s were capable of weaving it’s arcane energies into various technologies - including the harnessing of its deadly radiation into a weaponized form. The ‘Helius’ was the newest iteration of weapons borne from the eldritch knowledge contained atop the sands of Thyrsus and would be supplied to the soldiers who served the valiant, and gilded Sun Guard. Their weapons would capture and project the wrath of the Sun itself, as the solarized particle beams tore into enemy formations and brought them to their knees.

In many ways, the Helius technically operated similarly to a conventional Blaster weapon. It produced a plasmatic bolt; having drawn power from a variable source and forced it through a catalytic converter with a measure of tibanna gas. However, the Solarized variant that found itself in service to the Thyrsian Auxilia, and Sun Guard after that, had several key differences. While these secrets were jealously kept by the technical architects of the Golden Company, but anyone with technical acumen would find themselves capable of divining the most basic of secrets about the weapons’ construction.

The first difference that a trained eye would see was the inclusion of a Rylith Crystal-enhanced power cell, plasma cartridge, or power generator. While this wouldn’t be out of the ordinary for high-grade military hardware, it was the focusing crystal that caused some eyebrows to be raised. It was a synthetic amalgamation of stardust that was pulled from the heart of dead stars, and readily weaponized. From there, it wouldn’t be hard to see that through their connection, that - when the trigger was fired - what was created made the ‘Helius’ stand apart from its conventional brethren. The plasmatic bolt that was produced by this discordant fusion operated on a different harmonic frequency that couldn’t be intercepted by conventional deflector shielding.

Yet, despite the similar capabilities the ‘Helius’ weapon to conventional blasters, the damage inflicted by the impact of the bolt wasn’t the same. With blasters, the impacted material was marginally vaporized - leaving behind nothing more than carbon scoring to mark its passing. However, with the solarized plasma bolt, the targeted material wasn’t vaporized - it was superheated instead. The momentary connection excited the atoms and potentially destabilizing their molecular bond. Suffice to say, the solarized particle bolt was capable of melting the refined and forged plating of durasteel - given enough shots struck true.

The aesthetic construction of the rifle wasn’t conventional either, as the design was based on the ruined remains of ancient weapons that were found in the deserts of Thyrsus. Sloping metallic plates, coated in the stylistic aureate enamel that’s become the hallmark hue of the Golden Company. The ‘Helius’ - while deadly in its own right - wasn’t enough for the Thyrsian War Machine, as they needed more to combat the myriad threats they would face in an uncaring galaxy. So, in utilizing the utterly alien design of their new rifle, the technical savants of the mercenary warbands found themselves adding a secondary weapon system; an integrated ARC caster.

This lethal addition, in a way, offered the weapon a versatility that it lacked without the integrated module. At it’s lowest charge setting, the ARC caster operated as a crippling anti-riot weapon. As the power incrementally grew beyond that non-lethal setting, the more agonizing it would become for the target; as hundreds of thousands of volts coursed through their system, leaving to writhe in seemingly perpetual torment. That sensation, however, could be amplified a thousand-fold. A level which had the potential to stop organs, or burning Mandos alive - entombed within their plates of superconductive beskar armour.

And thus, with such dangerous technologies in hand, the Golden Company and their standing forces were poised to be the undisputed masters of the battlefield.

Modification Summary:

  • Swapped out broken Image link, and source.
