OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
Intent: To create a device used to neutralize fielded Ysalamir.
Image Source: Titanfall Wikia
Canon Link: N/A
Primary Source: Xalmiris (source of the device's ability)
PRODUCTION INFORMATION
Manufacturer: Lord Venari, Sith-Imperial Corps of Engineers
Affiliation: The Sith Empire
Model: Type-1 Xalmir device
Modularity: Can explode on contact, be set to a timer, or converted into a mine.
Production: Limited
Material: Xalmiris blood and tissue, durasteel, mechanical components, explosive components.
SPECIAL FEATURES:
- Neutralizes Ysalamir force neutral bubbles
Strengths:
- Deterrent: detonation within a Ysalamir's defensive force bubble range causes their defense to fail and leaves them unable to erect a new one for about twenty minutes.
- Can explode on contact, be converted into a mine bomb, or set to a timer.
- Singular purpose: This explosive device can't cause much pain to anyone in the blast radius.
- Dead Weight: If there are no Ysalamir around, it's completely useless.
- Imitation: the device doesn't fully replicate the Xalmiris' abilities, it doesn't enhance for powers and the effects on the Ysalamir only last for a fraction of the time.
DESCRIPTION:
With the fielded deployment of the Ysalamir, Lord Venari created the Sithspawn Xalmiris to counteract the effects of the Ysalamir's defensive bubble on the force. Unfortunately, the Xalmiris aren't the most capable fighters, and aside from their force boosting abilities they aren't much of an asset in the battlefield. So, alongside the Engineer Corps, Venari devised a new way to shut down the Ysalamir threat.
Enter the type 1 Xalmir device, an extremely low yield explosive containing the blood and bits of skin tissue that imitate the effects of the Xalmiris. While the device cannot replicate the force enhancing powers of its Sithspawn source, entry of the Xalmiris biomatter into the Tsalamir's force neutral bubble causes the defense to fall and leaves them unable to erect a new one for fifteen minutes. While the effect doesn't last as long as the real deal Xalmiris, it's more than enough in a fight.
