Developed in YE 35 for the original version of the NAM VOID Advanced Tactical Power Armor, the NAM Particle Markerlight System PMS-01a is a nonlethal, non damaging plasma beam designator intended to be used to guide fire and guided munitions onto specific opposing forces and terrain features.

The Particle Markerlight System is intended to serve as a support and complimentary weapon to Nepleslia's TRACER Minimissiles in the target designation role. Utilizing a suspension of high-energy subspace particles in a gas that is then excited by a particle beam passed through it, the PMS emits a near light speed plasma beam that creates a spot on a target as bright in subspace as a subspace star. This is used to guide in friendly fire and guided munitions to a target, and for officers and unit commanders to direct forces in combat.

The PMS-01a is intended to create a beam and spot visible only to NAM Monoeyes, but other subspace sensors are capable of picking up the beam as well.

• Designer: Nepleslian Arms and Munitions
• Manufacturer: Nepleslian Arms and Munitions
• Name: Particle Markerlight System
• Nomenclature: PMS-01a
• Type: Plasma Beam
• Role: Target Designator

The Particle Markerlight System's emitter resembles most closely a smaller Monoeye when looking at just the emitter. The emitter is backed up by the hardware which are secured underneath armor on mounted platforms.

• Muzzle Flash: N/A. The Markerlight emits a constant beam that is invisible to all but subspace sensors.
• Beam Appearance: Invisible normally. Bright when viewed through subspace sensors, with a particularly bright spot on whatever the Markerlight lands on.
• Beam Velocity: .7c
• Effective Range: 5 kilometers in atmosphere,
• Rate of Fire: Can fire a sustained marking beam for up to 600 seconds before needing to recharge the emitter for 160 seconds.
• Recoil: None

• Purpose: N/A; the Markerlight does no damage.
• Active Time: 600 seconds of sustained beam fire before needing to recharge for 160 seconds.

• Firing Mechanism: The Particle Markerlight system excites a suspension of subspace particles in a gas to a high temperature plasma state before passing a charged beam through it, which inherits the subspace characteristics of the mixture.
• Loading: The Particle Markerlight System does not need reloaded.
• Weapon Sight: The PMS-01a is aimed by pointing it at the enemy.

• Particle Markerlight System PMS-01a: Not for Sale
