Ke-M2-W2909 Accelerated Plasma Rifle

The Ketsurui Fleet Yards Ke-M2-W2909 rifle unleashes a blast of plasma energy. A continuum-distortion-based accelerator allows the plasma to exit the weapon at transluminal velocities. It fires at a rate of 1 shot per second, though this can be pushed to 2 shots per seconds at the risk of wearing out the accelerator and drastically diminishing the range of the weapon.

The plasma is moderately effective against shields and will at the very least ablate enemy armor if not melt it. Damage to unshielded and unarmored targets is extreme.

  • Purpose: Anti-Mecha
  • Damage: Tier 5, Medium Anti-Armor
  • Range: 2.5 kilometers in atmosphere. 2,500 kilometers in space.
  • Rate of Fire (Beam): 1 shot/sec sustained. 2 shots/sec maximum (can damage weapon).
  • Payload Effectively unlimited when properly attached to the Power Armor. At any given time, the suit produces enough plasma for 50 blasts. Once all plasma is used, it can take up to a full minute to build back up. Does not recharge when not attached to the power armor.

Date entered service: YE 29
