SPECIAL FEATURES
  • Hollow-point cortosis-jacketed slugs filled with Voidstone particulate
  • Optional close-range EMP burst to fry nearby personal shields or electronics
  • Lightweight, concealable design with ambidextrous handling
  • Includes optional lens-attachment for HUD integration
  • Synchronized targeting for dominant eye (used in tandem with custom ocular implant)
STRENGTHS
  • Forcebreaker: Voidstone rounds disrupt the connection between target and the Force upon impact, making it ideal for disabling Force users.
  • Cortosis Jackets: Rounds may short out lightsaber blades momentarily on contact.
  • EMP Burst: A built-in capacitor releases a localized EMP pulse to temporarily disable personal energy shields or delicate tech at close range.
  • Compact & Tactical: Small frame makes it easy to conceal, with high mobility, and fast handling.
WEAKNESSES
  • Ineffective Against Armor: Rounds are optimized for soft targets; against full-body armor or durasteel plating, the weapon performs poorly.
  • Limited Ammo: Each clip holds only 25 specialized rounds- precision and timing are vital.
  • High Recoil: Recoil is heavy for such a compact weapon, requiring strength or implants to maintain accuracy during full-auto fire.
  • EMP Drain: The EMP blast has a cooldown and limited uses per engagement.
  • Single Purpose: Outside of counter-Force-user scenarios, the Vanta-6 underperforms compared to standard military weapons.
DESCRIPTION
The Vanta-6 "Witchkiller" is not a soldier's weapon, it's a scalpel disguised as a sidearm, designed for one thing: neutralizing Force users with brutal efficiency. Crafted by Karesh in the aftermath of Panatha's destruction and his own spiral into violence, the weapon is a culmination of paranoia, trauma, and calculated design.

Each round is a hateful prayer in alloy and alchemy, voidstone particulate disrupts Force sensitivity, while the cortosis jackets serve to compromise energy weapons like lightsabers. The hollow-point tips expand violently inside the body, ensuring internal damage, and the optional EMP capacitor can unleash a pulse that fries shields or disrupts enemy tech at close range.

But outside of its specific use case, the Vanta-6 falls short. It's not effective against well-armored enemies or machines, and its limited ammo pool makes spray-and-pray tactics impossible. Still, for Karesh, it's more than a weapon- it's peace of mind. A last word when the Force itself comes knocking.
