Ke-M2-W2901 Aether Beam Saber-Rifle

The successor to the W2701, the Ketsurui Fleet Yards Ke-M2-W2901 Aether Beam Rifle uses a spatial distortion to release condensed potentials from the aether in a coherent phased beam. Because of the subspace effects of beam, it naturally pierces distortion-based shields. The weapon's range can be reduced to proportionally increase power and output duration, giving the rifle the ability to also function as a sword. The rifle has a long, thin sword-like shape with a pistol grip and a bullpup-style butt housing the battery magazine. Entered service ye_29

  • Purpose: Anti-starship surgical Attacks, Hull cutting tool.
  • Damage: ADR 5
  • Range: Up to 294,000 miles (473,177 km). 7 feet (2.13m) for sword.
  • Rate of Fire (Beam): Three three-second blasts every 15 seconds. Sword can be constantly sustained.
  • Rate of Fire (Rapid Pulse): 9 Pulses per second (Automatic). Note: Effective on targets such as fighters.
  • Payload: Effectively unlimited when properly attached to the Mindy power armor (whom can connect the power cable to the side of each forearm - it will, however, have a hard time charging its forearm weapons while power is fed to the W2901). Free-floating 2901 rifles rely on a battery magazine (BU-M20) which holds enough power for twenty three-second shots, one full minute seconds of cumulative activity in sword mode or the same time in rapid pulse mode.
