The bowcaster is a combination on ancient and modern technology, and is the traditional weapon of the Wookiees. The bowcaster is a magnetic accelerator with twin polarizers that use alternating polarity pulses to accelerate a highly tensile metal bowstring and propel an explosive at extremely high speeds. The projectile that is fired has the apperance of an energy blast because it is rapped in an energy field that helps the projectile explode. Great strength is need to cock the weapon, and the primitive aming system limits the bowcaster's rate of fire and places great emphasis on the Wookiee's patience and markmanship. Some Wookiees like to modifie there bowcasters by adding multiple bowstrings or duel bows, or in Chewbacca's case an automatic recocking system. Also during the Imperial occupation of the Wookiees home world of Kashyyyk the Wookiees often bolted their blaster rifles to their bowcasters to provide added fire power against enemies. The bowcaster is deisgned for use in Kashyyyk's dense forests with enough fire power to take down the most dangerous enemies, but the bowcaster is a short-range weapon with an optimum range of 30 meters and a maximum range of 50 meters. The bowcaster can be dissassembled and carried in a utility pouch, and can be put back together in less than a minute. Wookiee's use bandoliers to carry power packs, canisters of blaster gas, and spare ammunitiob cartridges that hold six quarrels each. The bowcaster is hand-built by the master weapon crafters of Kashyyyk, and the bowcaster is then bestowed to young Wookiee's as they are completing adulthood rites of passage. This tradition has endured for thousands of years, and the warriors bowcaster is considered a visible symbol of his or her courage and honor, these are highly prized possessions and are often engraved with clan markings and pictographs depicting a warrior's greatest accomplishments. | |
