Ke-M2-W3701 Aether Saber

About the Ke-M2-W3701 Aether Saber

The Ke-M2-3701 Aether Saber is a combination hull-cutting tool and anti-armor weapon developed in YE 37 by Ketsurui Fleet Yards. Inspired by the Ke-M2-W2901 Aether Beam Saber-Rifle, the Aether Saber projects a stream of Aether up to 3 meters from a roughly blade shaped projector. Due to being able to cut into a starship's armor, it is a vital tool in boarding operations.

History

Created in YE 37, it was derived from the Ke-M2-W2901 Aether Beam Saber-Rifle's saber so that the cutting could be done separately. It has been used to open airlocks and cut into hull plate to assist boarding operations.

Appearance

The Aether Saber is essentially a cut down Aether Blade-Saber rifle, modified to fit into a handle and projector that can fit into the hand of an armor. The hilt is a fairly utilitarian handle with a guarded switch to prevent accidental activation or deactivation. The bottom of the unit has a rectangular socket for a BR-28 battery cell, and a cord that allows the unit to connect to the forearm projectors of the Mindy 2. While most of the weapon's casing is rubber coated Durandium Alloy, the blade projector contains a Zesuaium edge that allows the Aether Saber to be used to block and parry other Aether Sabers. The Saber can be controlled by the Armor connected to it.

  • Retort: A deep thrumming sound while active.
  • Beam Appearance: narrow, bright pink beam of constantly seething energy.
