Over a thousand years ago, during the days of barbarian warlords such as Xim the Despot and longe before the rise of the Old Republic, projectile guns, and magnetic accelerators ruled the battlefield. Mobile energy weapons called beam tubes were developed. Even though most Core World citizens have only seen museum replicas, beam tubes are still in use in some remote regions of the galaxy. Despite numerous limitations, the first beam tubes changed the balance of power on those legendary battlefields. The Emperor-4 beam tube is powered by a massive backpack power cell that weighs over thirty kilograms but delivers less than a hundred shots, and the weapon itself limits the soldiers abbility because it must be fired two handed and weighs over fifteen kilograms. To create and help focus the high-intensity particle beam the Emperor-4 uses four energy cyclers, twelve refinement tubes, and twelve low-grade crystals. All this wasteful energy conversion creates tremendous heat and requires the tubes sensitive components to be protected by twelve cooling motors, although they direct hot air into the soldiers face. The sensitive internal refinement tubes can be easily thrown out of alignment and reconfiguring them takes nearly four hours. The Emperor-4 takes several seconds to process enough power for a blast with an optimum range of 20 meters and a maximum range of 50 meters. Due to the fact that the tubes limited ammunition forces often worked in squads while one fired the other would recharge at a portable power generator on a repulsorlift sled. | |
