Nepleslian Antimatter Blaster

A powerful anti starship weapon designed in YE 41 by a joint effort lead by Nepleslian Arms and Munitions and the Lorath Self Defense Force, the antimatter blaster is a high rate of fire weapon that draws off stabilized antimatter created from an aether reactor to propel antimatter packets at other starship grade targets.

About the Antimatter Blaster

Designed by Director "Adept" of NAM, The Antimatter Blaster is a starship grade weapon developed to send low density but high yield antimatter packets at a considerable rate of fire at impressive distances. The system was designed to be used in tandem with an Aether reactor to draw off the latent antimatter created from the aether reactors as a source of not only power but also as an ammunition source to enable the weapon to continue firing so long as the reactor is generating power.

The yield of the antimatter packets is gauged at 1-2kt (Kilotons) when striking solid matter such as shields, armor, or hard surface. The explosion is a clean antimatter explosion with no EMP and detonates outwards from the impact site causing more damage from the actual force of the explosion to nearby matter, ship, or armor than by the actual kinetics.

Nomenclature Information

Appearance

The Antimatter Blaster is a dual turret (A single turret with two barrels) with short snub-nosed barrels on an electric gimble mount. The turrets can rotate 360 degrees and fire at any depress or incline so long as it does not aim at the ship itself.

Discharge Information

  • Muzzle Flash: Black and white entropic energy discharge from the weapon like a small muzzle blast.
  • Retort: None.
  • Projectile/Beam Appearance: A black oblong shape with a faint white glow while traveling towards a target.
  • Effective Range: 300,000KM (186,411 miles)
  • Rate of Fire: 60 (30 rpm per barrel)
  • Recoil: None
