The most direct throwback to the Anthedon, this is - mostly - same primary weapon as used by the earlier power armor. The weapon operates by 'phasing' plasma outside of the universe as it fires, rephasing it once it has penetrated shields or armor. The weapon accomplishes this through complex scanning systems within the rifle itself, and this capacity is significantly heightened by the sensory systems of the Hikael. The system is intricate enough to accurately account for projected movement, natural encumbrances, and so forth, making it an extremely accurate and very devastating weapon. Unlike the model used on the Anthedon, the plasma rifle on the Hikael was modified to operate at greater range at the cost of a moderate decrease in damage.

Purpose: Shooting things! Anti-armor. Damage: Tier 7 Range: 10,000 km. Due to the phasing technology, this distance is not notably reduced in atmosphere. Payload Effectively unlimited so long as the armour provides power. ROF: 6 shots per minute
