Ion weapons

Ion Weapons are weapons whose primary function is to destroy the electrical circulation in a system. They are commonly used in response to a reliance on technology on the battlefield. Typically an ion bolt disrupts electrical systems and melts fuses, destroys circuits and effectively renders any kind of technology useless. Ion weapons are mostly categorized as guns, devices and cannons
== Ion gun ==
An ion gun is a handheld weapon used to destroy technology powered by electricity. Ion weapons are typically confused with the similar disruptor weapons, which are meant to disable technologies for a set time, with the device resuming normal functions sometime after.
Most Ion weapons do little damage to organic enemies, though the more powerful ion cannons can seriously injure or kill a living creature due to the raw power of the blast. Larger cannon versions exist, for taking out threats too massive for a hand-held weapon to deal with.
== Ion device ==
A thrown variant of ion weapon, fire a pulse in an arc that destroys circuitry like regular ion weapons.
== Ion Cannon ==
Ion Weapons are advanced directed energy weapons utilised by the Dalmer Empire. Ion cannons fire slow moving vertical "discs" of disruptive energy. Ion Cannons typically are capable of engaging enemies at long range with high-energy streams of ionised subatomic particles, vaporising flesh and metal with equal ease. These high-energy ions containing an electric charge are accelerated by an electromagnetic field and react explosively with the target as a result of the direct transfer of energy at an atomic level.
Despite the eventual widespread dissemination of Ion Cannons during inter Dalmer conflicts, portable Ion Cannons remained an impossibility due to the bulkiness of their power sources.
=== Hazards ===
Ion cannons exposes the wielder or vehicle to the dangerous ionising radiation emitted by the weapon, and risks overloading the weapon's primary power cells. However, overcharging an Ion Cannon allows it to generate a wide, explosive blast with increased damage compared to its normal fire mode, allowing it to vaporise entire squads of enemy infantry in a single salvo.
