Intent: To create a dedicated Shotgun for the Sith Military alongside the other standard issue weapons.
Manufacturer: Sienar Army Systems

It also serves as an underslung to the "Chimera" SienarTech Blaster Rifle, but can function perfectly well on its own.

Ammunition Capacity: 10 rounds
Range: 80 meters (Buck), 140 meters (Explosive), 180 meters (High Compact Slug)​
 
The Flechette Launcher had a 250 meter range, but that was over 800 years ago and as we know weapons get better over time, even though the Plague left the Galaxy ravaged, but of course that range is more broad than anything. Let me edit it to encompass the three different ammunition types with individual ranges.
 
Flechette launchers are not shotguns. Flechette launchers are more like a cannon firing grapeshot - it's a much larger shotgun dedicated to long range.

A standard issue shotgun at the present day is barely effective at 70m (typically speaking). If you're looking to make a standard issue shotgun I expect something in that range - not the range of a flechette launcher.
