Weapons of Hiverspace

This is very much a work in progress and will require a lot of input from players new and old. The idea is to supply names of weapons that characters can use as role-play tools if they so desire, but in no way will this be a complete list. We hope to include the most common weapons someone would experience, and give names so that your Slug Pistol is not just another Slug Pistol, but perhaps an antique M1911 .45 calibre semi-automatic pistol brought from Earth or an Opodian Arms "Opodi's Growl" 10mm caseless semiautomatic pistol. Player made weapons, once crafting is installed, can be copies of these items, or perhaps unique items of their own design.

Weapons of Hiverspace

Weapons of the Falari

An evolutionary necessity of flight is light weight for size, which tends to necessitate adaptations such as less dense bones. The Falari are no exception, and as such they prefer weapons that are also light for their size and have minimal recoil. Their weapons are famous for their lightweight construction for their size. Pulse weapons are the most common, and shock weapons are also quite popular - though the technology is such that they cannot be made as lightweight and tend to be more expensive.

Weapons of the Gankri

The characteristic that the Gankri are infamous for is their immense capacity to reproduce. As such, militaristically they tend to rely on quantity rather than quality to win on the battlefield. This principle follows towards their weapon design philosophy, where ease of production and less logistical hang-ups for items like ammunition are more important that other qualities. As a result, Gankri weapons have the benefit of being relatively inexpensive, but are also poorly made.

Weapons of the Hekayti

Due to the size of the Hekayti, their weapons tend to be too large, heavy, and cumbersome for use amongst humans, except for some of the largest members of that species. Despite their larger size, Hekayti weapons tend to be of the same caliber or energy output as other standardized weapons rather than scaling up power to match the size. This strategy has largely worked to the advantage of the Hekayti, as their weapons tend to have larger ammunition capacities as well as less recoil. On several occasions, this has proven a strategic advantage leading the Ledelkrig to victory when defeat seemed near.

• Manufacturers of Hekayti Weapons
  • Urtigorhavtoveil Armors

    The Urtigor, a respected Hekayti clan predominantly involved with the Toveil, is well known amongst the Hekayti for the quality and reliability of their weapons, armor, and combat vehicles.

Ledelkrig Weapons

• Ledelkrig Chain Gun

  Represented by: Ledelkrig Chain Gun

  A support weapon used by the Ledelkrig caste of the Hekayti, it represents the pinnacle of man-portable firepower for that race.

• Ledelkrig Grenade Launcher - Urtigorhavtoveil Armories Issue IX, "Rainbow"

  Represented by: Grenade Rifle

  A support weapon used by the Ledelkrig for terrestrial operations.

• Ledelkrig Plasma Rifle - Urtigorhavtoveil Armories Issue XIV

  Represented by: Plasma Rifle

  The standard issue weapon of the Ledelkrig. Elite troops may be issued modified versions.

Medlidikke Weapons

• Medlidikke Plasma Rifle

  Represented by: Plasma Rifle

  The Medlidikke plasma rifle is one of the most feared weapons in the galaxy, terrorizing many due to its common use in piracy. These weapons follow no standardized design, though some Medlidikke bands may have an weaponsmith creating them along similar lines. They are also often looted and modified from other races, or from battles against the Ledelkrig. Spikes, blades, bones, and other means of intimidation are commonplace additions unique to various owners.

Weapons of the Llivori

The evolution of modern Llivori weaponry involves a synergy of their physical strength and their preferred enemies, the Opodians. Much like the Llivori, the Opodians are quite strong and resilient. As a result, Llivori weapons tend to put a greater emphasis on stopping power rather than clip size, recoil, or rate of fire. They also tend to like loud and intimidating weapons, so rocket-based weaponry are a favorite. THey are also quite fond of plasma-based weaponry, but they tend to be rare and more expensive amongst this race.

Weapons of the Lotorians

There are few Lotorian clans that have much in the way of expertise in making weapons, as Lotorians prefer to run than actively embrace conflict. However, even the most cunning Lotorian is occasionally cornered, so it's not uncommon for them to have a few tricks up their sleeves just in case. The few weapons that Lotorians make have a reputation for being shoddy and unpowered, with an emphasis on spitting out bullets regardless of accuracy. While this reputation may perhaps be a little unfair, the diminutive stature of Lotorians, along with their love of rapid firing weapons, necessitates that a smaller caliber is used. Additionally, the high rate of fire and lots of working parts means that jams are common, as well. Nevertheless, wildly fired Lotorian weapons have bought enough time for many an escape.

• Manufacturers of Lotorian Weapons

• Lotorian Deathspitter

  Represented by: Slug pistol with rate of fire upgrades.

  A submachinegun or machine pistol by human standards, the Lotorian Deathspitter works more as a small assault rifle for Lotorians. One of their most common weapons, it is beloved by Lotorians expecting the worst all. However, those Medlidikke successful enough to be able to afford heavy armor have been known to refer to it as the "Tickler."

Weapons of the Zarist Supremacy

Nall Weapons

• CFF 75kMps Railgun

  Represented by: <TBD>

  The standard issue rifle of the Nall Clawed Fist Fleet, much feared by anyone who has been on the receiving end of it.

Opodian Weapons

The Opodians are not well-known for innovation when it comes to weaponry. In fact, most of their companies simply reverse engineering Llivori weapons and then mass-produce knock-offs. Aukami imports, considered closer to Opodi because of Kamiroid legacy of the Aukami, are also very popular.
