SKZ-6 (SARRG)

The SKZ-6, also known as the squad automatic rotary railgun (SARRG),
was a prototype weapon created by TREX Industries. Initially conceived
as a Z-6 clone, but without the weight and load times the plagued the Z-6.
However, the SKZ-6 soon became something completely original as the R&D
team solved each new problem. The final prototype was a 6 barreled rotary
gun weighing 46 Lbs. and 27 inches in length. Using modified micro fusion cells, 
some sort of top secret electro-magnetic field focus generator, and
proprietary ammunition called "shards", the SKZ-6 was capable of a
blistering 18,000 rounds per minute at a velocity of just under 7,000 mph
(Mach 9). This incredible velocity and fire rate, coupled with long lasting
and relatively light weight energy cells, made it a standout revolutionary
firearm. Add the proprietary "shard" rounds and the compact size, and the 
SKZ-6 had the potential to change battlefields across the galaxy.
Unfortunately, little else is known as TREX abruptly disappeared along with
all their research. Only one working prototype is known to have been made,
but it is unknown what ultimately happened to it. The untimely disappearance
of TREX just as they seemed to have perfected the ultimate personnel weapon
did unleash a wave of speculation and conspiracy theories about the fate of
the company, and of the only prototype SKZ-6. Some suggest that BlasTech
got wind of their success, and through political influence, corporate 
espionage, or more nefarious means, where able to shut them down and/or 
steal their research. Other unlikely rumors claimed the prototype was 
hidden away somewhere on Endor where TREX maintained a remote testing 
facility in the desert. And, that it was subsequently found by an unknown
rebel alliance corporal, and used to great effect in the battle of Endor.
Though this theory gained popularity in some circles, it is almost certainly
not true as no record of such an occurrence can be found. What is true is
that the technology has as of yet not been able to be replicated, and so
the legendary SKZ-6 is lost to time and shrouded in mystery.
