- Dart Gun: The VT-Sliid Gun is at it's base a simple dart gun. The Mechanism by which it operates isn't really all that unique. The only thing that pushes it to the brink is the fact that Vanir Technologies designs the gun to be as versatile as possible. Along with the Dart Gun it has created an interchangeable ammunition system that allows anyone to put any substance into it's ammo. This means that the poisons, agents, reactants, etc that one wants to use with the Sliid gun is only limited by their own imagination. As a standard fair the Sliid gun comes with simple tranquilizer darts capable of knocking out most things.
- Power: The Sliid Gun is powered via hyper-compressed gases in the magazine, this essentially means the weapons power is limited. It will not pierce through metal, nor will it pierce armorweave or any other armored cloth. It will go through several layers of clothing however as well as thick skin of some species.
The Vanir Technologies Applied Sciences department has always had minor issues with monstrous mutant creatures getting out of their cages.
This is sort of just part of doing business. You capture some Rancors, try to milk them, they object and get out. Eventually however you have to realize that you can't just shoot these creatures with a regular stun gun because...well it hurt their nerves and it's more humane just to put them to sleep. As such a scientist named Bob in the weapons research department came up with the Vanir Technologies Sliid Gun.
The concept isn't really all that out there, a simple high powered Tranquilizer gun.
Of Course, because Bob is a very industrious fellow decided that the Sliid Gun would be better if the darts it utilized were highly modular and easy to customize, allowing the scientists within Vanir to fill the weapon with whatever substance was required. This quickly devolved into a came where they would use the dart guns to shoot each other with mild sedatives, but that was quickly stopped when Corporate Found out.
Along with stopping the good old office hijinks we all know and love, Corporate also decided that the Sliid Gun was more than marketable.
Vanir Technologies quickly took the Specs of the gun, mass-manufactured it, and began to call it the Sliid Gun after the Sliideptra of Tel IV. The weapon quickly becoming a more than effective tool for zookeepers and bounty hunters all over the galaxy.
