- Market Status: Closed Market
- Model: Ym1r tactical Cryo throwing dart
- Modularity: Some
- Production: Semi Unique
- Materials:
- Classification: Throwing Dart / Vajra ammunition
- Size: Average
- Weight: Average
- Thin and Stabby:
Incredibly sharp edge which is capable of slicing the bonds between skin cells rather than tear them. - Beware of Fingers:
The weapon Freezes up to a 1/2 foot radius of freezable material on impact, more with prolonged impact. - Now or Later?:
Can be set to detonate in up to 10 seconds or on impact - Headshot!:
Flies very straight over a deceptively long distance holding its velocity.
- Monomolecular Tip:
Few substances in the Galaxy are as sharp as semi solids such as Ice, Glass and Obsidian as the cutting edge of the weapon is capable of being a single particle wide able to glide between cells of organic material rather than tear them on impact. Although they tend to be Brittle, the Ym1r simply freezes the gas around it to repair the tip when it is damaged. - Cold to the Touch:
The Synthetic Ultrachrome superconductor that surrounds the tip and shafts keeps the weapon at an even temperature colder than almost any natural substance, evenly spread across its surface. The weapon is cold enough to freeze up to a 1/2 foot radius of freezable material on impact, though more in seconds of prolonged combat. - Timed / Impact Detonation:
The Darts activate when they're drawn priming quickly and are fitted with a timer approaching the pommel of the weapon which allows them to be set to a timer of up to 10 seconds or to hit a button at the base which causes them to detonate, vaporizing the maintained liquid helium within them and releasing it through porous holes down the Shaft, on impact delivering a 1ft radius cryo detonation which is able to freeze bio-organic material in the same area, liquids in up to 1m from the point of impact and make most metals brittle and prone to shatter with average physical impacts. - Levitating Dart:
When superconductors are frozen and exposed to a magnetic field they have a tendency to hover and become friction-less. Thanks to the superconducting material of the ultrachrome as well as the swirling mass of liquid hydrogen within it keeping it at temperatures approaching zero-k, micro magnets lining the length of the interior allow the weapon to hang aloft far longer than they should and can be thrown drastically further distances than a person's natural strength would allow.
- One and Done:
These weapons have a tendency to shatter when detonated especially when thrown at reinforced substances due to the ultrachrome becoming quite brittle in of itself. Additionally, with the liquid helium payload expended, there is no way for the dart to cool itself. - Brittle Points:
When activated the steel coating of the dart itself ahead of the held portion is exceedingly brittle to impacts from kinetic weapons like vibroblades or the like, often causing them to shatter and deliver their payload where they stand. - Cryo Hazard:
The weapons deal with incredibly cold temperatures and would require the user to wear some protective gloves or gear to wield these weapons efficiently without self injury.
G3m1n1 is a creature that is known to tinker with her equipment, seeing that she had integrated a dart launcher into her hands with the loving care of Locke and Key, she wondered whether she might be able to outfit it with some variant ammunition, or simply create a new melee and throwing weapon for her arsenal to deal with highly armoured individuals as well as soft targets. Through some trial and error she developed the Hym1r prototype, using it in the field to some success against an organization known as the Crymorah Syndicate. After its efficacy was proven, she sold the patent to a PMC under house Aquila so they could distribute it later.
As it was acquired, the relatively simplistic dart model was streamlined down from the size of a small throwing dagger, into that of a 3 inch long drill like throwing dart which delivered a smaller payload, but made up for it with skilled users being able to throw multiple darts and carry many more of them on their person as well as using synthetic ultrachrome in place of the far more expensive natural variant. Even though the change in material made the weapon less reusable, as something akin to ammunition they would Re-titled the Ym1r, the weapon is in light circulation upon commission request to the house, usually through a contract in which house Aquila will continually refresh their ammunition so long as a commission fee is paid.
