Alysha and Taylitha sparring

Personal Weapons

Why not, we've seen at least a handful.

  • Lances/Staves (what did I name these)
    • Shock-staff is at least one of them
  • Holoblades
    • Holoknife: has a 'malignant hum'[1]
  • Claw-knives: widely regarded as street weapons, and outlawed in may places, including Terracentrus[2]

Armor:

  • Chest plates (seem to be similar to bulletproof vests, sort of thing?)[3]

Palmers

A small, personal ranged weapon. They have multiple settings: they can stun or cause pain; they can burn on a high enough setting; and, set to max, they can kill, though setting palmers to max is unusual in Fleet.[4] Legal ones squeak; illegal ones are (or can be) silent, so you may not know that you're being shot at until you're down[3]. Consumer-grade palmers have warning labels.[5] When they hit solid matter, they make a hissing sound.[4]

Fleet-issue

We had that long talk in Laisrathera with Soly about the holoblades issued to Fleet personnel and how they change out the pommels so I should copy that in here somewhere.


Ship Weapons

Offense

  • Entropy packets

Defense

  • Dusters: Capable of cloaking people, locations, or ships. A Duster small enough to hide a door "isn't all that expensive"[6], but for a pirate to have a Duster capable of hiding their entire ship would be considered unusual.[7]
