- Megamaser: The Venomblade-series is an Utapaun designed megamaser reverse engineered from First Order and Chiss charric technology. It fires a hybrid laser particle blast that deals both energy and kinetic damage to the target.
- Selective Output: Utapaun megamaser power rating is based on the ship's size and armament, not the number of turrets involved.
- Priority Targets: Since Venomblades are so large, most capital ships fit less than they would standard turbolasers. Fewer emplacements means each turret matters just a little more.
The Outer Rim is home to all kinds of exotic weapon merchants. Profiting off of the First Order Galactic Alliance war and sparse trade with a reestablished Chiss Ascendancy, the shipwrights of Utapau finally mastered megamaser technology and designed the Venomblade-series to outfit their patrol ships and sell to allies. Named for a particularly deadly subspecies of varactyl, the megamaser became a popular choice throughout the rim for its utilitarian qualities. In a partnership with Silk Holdings, the Utapauns even added a selective output functionality to give buyers more loadout flexibility.
Along with the Pimbrellan League beam emplacement, the Venomblade megamaser is one of the most widely available nonstandard capital grade turrets in use by the Coalition. [SIZE=9pt]They can be adapted into dual, quad, fastmount, heavy, or long-range armatures.[/SIZE]
