• Designer: Solan Starforges
• Manufacturer: Solan Starworks
• Name: Solanii Linios Rifle (So-SLiR-01a)
• Type: Variable Speed Linear Rifle
• Role: Sniper Rifle
• Length: 49.74 inches
• Mass: 16.11 Ibs
• ROF: 240 RPM

Ammunition Types: 13×80mm SFS; 14×88mm RBS; 14×88mm CRC; 14×88mm OCC

Variable Speed Coilgun Gauss weapons work through in-sequence solenoids which generate electromagnetic forces to simultaneously attract and displace a ferromagnetic round, propelling it at tremendous speeds. The firing mechanism of the Linios is designed to allow the user to adjust speeds manually through an analogue dial near the sighting equipment to improve the weapon's flexibility and discretion.

• Effective Range: 1420 Meters
• Maximum Range: 3300 Meters
• Muzzle Velocity: Variable and User-Adjusted; 200 m/s to 1200 m/s
• Muzzle Blast: Little to none. At full speed, some users report up to 3nm of ablation on the outer casing, and a light blue trail.
• Firing Mode: Semi-Automatic
• Firing Capacity: 200 Shots per Capacitor
• Recoil: Little to none at lower velocities. Heavy at top velocity, but deployable stabilizer fins with GE Lift technology can reduce to low-velocity recoil levels.

• Payload Type: Solid high-impact slug.
• Capacity: 25 rounds
• Damage: High penetrative power, strength dependent on velocity. Slug tends to overpenetrate, but large caliber and heavy mass leaves large exit wounds and staggers target. (Tier 2)

• Payload Type: Disposable Repulsor-Field emitter.
• Capacity: 23 rounds
• Damage: No penetrative capacity. On impact, initiates a 4000 N repulsor burst following user-configured geometry with a maximum volume of 8m^3, which can tear limbs apart, hammer torsos into red mist and launch the target dozens of meters. (Tier 4-5)

• Payload Type: Sharpened chitino-plas resinate thread canister.
• Capacity: 23 rounds
• Damage: Low penetration. Canister spins chitinous resins into razor sharp thread and injects it into the target at high velocities, shredding internal structures and mincing tissues into a fine paste. Ineffective against armored targets. (Tier 3, Heavy Anti-Personnel)

• Payload Type: OMDE compound canister, VANDR-scale.
• Capacity: 23 rounds
• Damage: Saturates point of impact with specialized fungal cloud that secretes the OMDE compound in contact with metallic substances. See article for details.

Safety: Fire Mode Selector: Stabilizer Fins: Camouflage: Attachment Hard Points: Scope can be replaced with other optics.

Field Maintenance Procedure: Wipe and clean after every mission, taking care to scrub the barrel down and all moving parts. Capacitors and some electronics may have to be replaced every few months of use.
