## Blasters

Blasters are the most common method of defense throughout the galaxy. Existing in a number of varieties, makes and models, some of the most common (or acquired by members of our crew) are listed below. While generally legal in most systems for restricted civilian use and are easier to find than other pistol varieties.

### Blaster Pistols

#### Merr-Sonn Model 44 Blaster Pistol

Manufactured by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc. prior to the Galactic Civil War. This model is similar to the Power 5 heavy blaster pistol. The Model 44 is a low-powered blaster, featuring a shorter barrel than the Power 5. This weapon was carried by Imperial officers aboard the first Death Star and is in the weapons locker on most Star Destroyers.

#### Relby-k23 "Stinger" Blaster Pistol

This blaster pistol is banned from civilian purchase by both the Imperial Remnant and the New Republic, however it is used by both governments. It is known for its low refraction index, which resulted in minimal beam dispersion when the blaster was fired. The beam produced by this blaster pistol inflicted excruciating pain upon beings who had the misfortune of being hit by it. The only known drawback of the Relby-k23 was its faulty safety. The officers of the Bespin Wing Guard were among those known to carry the Relby-k23 blaster pistol while carrying out their duties.

Blaster Rifles (of some kind) are the general issue for most militaries in the galaxy and most types are easy to acquire.

### Heavy Blasters

Heavy Blasters are illegal for civilian use and favorites for people who need to fire up close and quickly. They're short on ammo, have a limited range and can be difficult to acquire.

## Power 5 heavy blaster pistol

### Cost

825 credits

Originally manufactured by Merr-Sonn Munitions, Inc. at some point prior to the Clone Wars. It was a favorite of Nym's private pirate army.

It was designed to imitate the more successful BlasTech Industries DL-44 heavy blaster pistol. Like the DL-44, the Power was a high-powered, short-ranged weapon. The Power 5's blaster gas chamber was smaller than that of the DL-44, and not very efficient. As a result the pistol was less powerful, but could fire more bolts per power cell.

**Model:** Merr-Sonn “Power” 5 Heavy Blaster Pistol
**Type:** Heavy blaster pistol
**Scale:** Character
**Skill:** Blaster: heavy blaster pistol
**Ammo:** 30
**Cost:** 825 credits
**Availability:** 1, R
**Range:** 3-7/25/50
**Damage:** 5D

#### Caelli-Merced Sentinel Blaster

Of all the Caelli-Merced products, there is no other weapon that carries the distinction and repulation of the Sentinel IV heavy blaster pislol. It is so highly prized a weapon that they are almost never found for sale off the planet, even through the most well-connecled black marketeers. Carrying a Senlinel IV is a status symbol among the Black Bha'lir on Socorro. Older variations of the weapon have been passed down from one generation to the next and remain every bit as formidable as the new models coming off the line.

**Model:** Caelli-Merced Sentinel IV Blaster
**Type:** Heavy blaster pistol
**Scale:** Character
**Skill:** Blaster: heavy blaster pistol
**Ammo:** 100
**Cost:** 1,200
**Availability:** 4, R
**Range:** 3-10/30/60
**Damage:** 5D+2
*Notes:* *While not a common weapon, the Sentinel IV is quite distinctive. Anyone who makes a Difficult streetwise roll and recognizes a Sentinel IV understands that whomever is carrying the weapon is not a person to be trifled with: smugglers. bounty hunters. assassins and people of a similar background get a +10 bonus to this roll. Additionally, the Caelli-Merced is a precisely designed weapon, intentionally designed for the advanced user. This weapon adds +5 to the difficulty for any user with a blaster skill of less than 4D, but anyone with a blaster skill of 6D or higher gets a +1D to hit.*

#### T-4 Heavy Blaster

**Model:** BlasTech T-4 Heavy Blaster Pistol

**Type:** Heavy blaster pistol
**Scale:** Character
**Skill:** Blaster: heavy blaster pistol
**Ammo:** 25
**Cost:** 750 (power packs: 25)
**Availability:** 2, R
**Fire Rate:** 5
**Range**: 3-7/25/50
**Damage:** 6D
*Notes: Smaller and less conspicuous than the T-5s or T-6s, the T-4 doesn't hit as hard as its counterparts but has an improved fire rate.*

### Pulse Rifles

Pulse Rifles fire a rapid pulse discharge which is actually a series of micro-bursts of ion energy. They contain super-conducting filaments, which regulated the beam’s hundreds of individual discharges into a single burst. Unfortunately, the filaments had a limited life-span and had to be frequently replaced every 20 shots. They're good for shooting at crowds of people and better when hooked up to a power generator. Pulse rifles are hard to come by and expensive to acquire and maintain.

#### Corondexx Pulse Rifle

**Model:** Corondexx VES-700 Pulse Rifle
**Type:** Pulse rifle
**Scale:** Character
**Skill:** Blaster: pulse rifle
**Ammo:** 15 (power pack), unlimited (power generator), super-conducting filaments must be replaced every 20 shots)
**Cost:** 5,000; 200 (power pack), 300 (super-conducting filaments)
**Availability:** 4, X
**Range:** 1-10/20/30
**Damage:** 6D/5D/3D
*Notes: Character selects a target: the target and all beings in the cone of fire and within one meter radius of the target take full damage. All targets within 15 degrees either way of the target take 3D damage. If filaments aren’t charged when scheduled, roll 2D for the first shot after the “change time”, add +1 for each additional shot. On a total of 7 or higher, the pulse rifle’s overload circuits cut in and shut the weapon down, but the overload has caused 250 credits of damage (Moderate blaster repair total to fix). If the total is 100 or higher, the overload circuits have failed and the weapon explodes in the user’s hands, causing 9D damage in a two meter blast radius.*

While blasters of many shapes and sizes are found throughout the galaxy, there are other methods of getting your point across.

### Projectile Weapons

The **bowcaster** (sometimes called the **Wookiee Crossbow**) was a Wookiee projectile weapon that fired a metal quarrel enveloped in energy. Some bowcasters were modified to fire pure energy. Some variants had a capacity of twenty-four shots.

#### Bowcaster

A traditional bowcaster is heavy and only used by wookiees (or other species that had the physical strength to load the quarrels and hold the gun to aim) and handcrafted.

**Model:** Wookiee Bowcaster
**Type:** Energy/projectile weapon hybrid
**Scale:** Character
**Skill:** Bowcaster
**Ammo:** 6 (quarrels; power packs can make 50 shots before being replaced)
**Cost:** 1,000 (not sold to non-Wookiees)
**Availability:** 3, R
**Fire Rate:** 1
**Range:** 3-10/30/50
**Damage:** 7D (if firing quarrels), 6D (if modified to fire energy)
*Note: If a character wants to fire the weapon more than once in a round, he or she must make a Moderate Strength roll to be able to aim the weapon (this is a “free action”). Reloading the weapon with new quarrels requires a Difficult Strength roll.*

#### Modified Bowcaster

The traditional models were too heavy to be wielded by species like humans, both the weight and loading a quarrel was too difficult to do precisely, some have been modified to lighter (this is generally accomplished by using more Wroshyr wood in its stock) and to set to fire pure energy blasts.

**Model:** Modified Wookiee Bowcaster
**Type:** Energy weapon
**Scale:** Character
**Skill:** Bowcaster
**Ammo:** 50
**Cost:** 5,000 (estimated)
