Alliance Military Technology
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.
