Description
Adding to the Yuuzhan'tar weapon line from the black market the Viccae Assault Rifle is the second gem to come off the barbaric and chaotic world. A force dead assault rifle that will kick butt and help take down force users this weapon is for those with a problem that uses a lightsaber.
Organic living tissue covered in smoothed out coral this weapon is a living monster designed to send Yuuzhan Vong beetles at your opponent at fast speeds. The key to the weapon lays in it's rear where it's digestive track works overtime to create enough natural gas and PSI in order to launch the beetles at a high rate. It's entire mid to back section is devoted to creating this gas and once the beetles are fed through the magazine well via coral canister it's locked and ready to go. The gas inside the back of the weapon is controlled by the trigger that releases the beetles. This gives the gun the ability to fire beetles at the standard rate of most galactic slug throwers. It is sadly not lightsaber resistant as the coral used is cheap to protect it is cheap and while it will protect the gun from maybe a single slug or blaster bolt a lightsaber will destroy it quite easily.
Power. Each beetle fired has it's own strengths and weaknesses. A thud bug is mostly less than lethal force, a razor bug has a hard time dealing with armored foes, etc etc (differ to links above) but besides the ammunition the weapon is quite powerful when it comes to dealing with force users. It can not be swayed or pushed or sensed (does not stop the sensing of danger) through the force nor can telekinetic force barriers stop the rounds it fires. It packs a punch and can send bees flying at fast rates on the battlefield. It's tight enough and compact enough to clear buildings and it holds up well under stressful environments.
Weaknesses. It's a living gun, it has a life span. These guns typically die after two years of service and even this varies depending on frequent use. This weapon can not go underwater for more than three minutes as it will drown and die, and of course once it dies it stops working. Fire is very deadly to the weapon and it will burn alive, and another basic weakness is that you have to maintain the rifle by feeding it through the bottom barrel twice a week. Small rodents such as mice will work for food.
Summary. This weapon while good against both force users and your standard military personnel is still a living creature. Taking care of it is paramount, and if you take care of your weapon it will take care of you until death. It's a sturdy rugged and sometimes sticky gun, so treat it right.
