About

The Vela'rius, named after its creator, was created a short while after the Neshaten arrived at their new system. Its weaponized name of 'Swordrifle' comes from its ability to attach a variety of different types of close-quarters attachments.

Unlike other Neshaten handheld weaponry which mainly uses plasma, the Vela'rius is purely a laser rifle.

Shaped like a typical rifle, the Velarius has a long barrel toward the front with sight lines, underneath it are two attachment points for melee weapons. The central area of the weapon has a scope attachment, while the rear stock is capable of being used to transport small items. There are two handles, the main trigger handle located rear, and another handle which can be set into three seperate points on the rifle - forward center, forward left, and forward right, this allows the use to more easily handle the rifle when firing it or when using it in close quarters.

The underside of the rifle just forward of the trigger guard holds the rifle power crystal, it uses a small crystal.
