DESCRIPTION	The Ne'tra Kar (Mando'a; lit. "Black Star", translated as "Blackest Star") is a Mandalorian ranged weapon utilized specifically by the Mando'a Runi'naast. Sleek, lightweight and sturdy, the Ne'tra Kar is the only rifle utilized by the Mandalorian Nightment. Unlike most modern ranged weapons, the Ne'tra Kar does not utilize blaster gas, plasma, sonics or microwaves, but instead utilized gravitons. The rare graviton-pulse weaponry is a powerful weapon that utilized a graviton coil that caused radioactive subatomic excitement in ambient electrons and disrupted polarized magnetic fields. Used in conjunction with a gyro-stabilizer and pressor field unit, the Ne'tra Kar produced silvery-white spheres of concenstrated gravitic energy, impacting upon targets as raw concussive force. Thus, instead of "burning" their enemies, as Blasters, Masers or Disruptors would, the Mandalorian Nightmen literally "blast" them. Because of the boundries of physics, motion and recoil, the expulsion of energy can only be so relative as per the size of the weapon itself and the well-being of the individual firing the weapon must be able to utilize the rifle without sucumbing to the recoil effects. As such, in terms of output, the Ne'tra Kar is as efficent as most modern ranged infantry weaponry. ​

Wanted to make a blaster, but different than what's currently going on. And in case you're wondering, yeah; believe it or not I really do write stuff as a form of relaxing or taking breaks. Kiro or Vencu, needs approval.

 

[Kiro]

Approved.

Really, MandalMotors is becoming THE best at experimental/exotic weapon forms.

P.S. How does gravitonic pulses turn into silvery-white light?

Depends. One is the same reason is blaster bolts are red, purple, green, etc. Another is that the invisible nature of tensor weapons would be OP to the max. Yet another is because nobody uses white as a color for weapons so it seemed cool :p Take ur pick

Hehe, works for me. I was just wondering if there was some weird physics thing I was missing!

 

[Orphen]

I think a good thing to add would be its firing rate, as it charges gravitons, I imagine it would be rather slow ~<3

Just some input.

 

[Solaris]

The only information you need for a weapon's firing rate is semiautomatic, automatic, or single-shot. Rounds per minute is largely useless.

 

[Orphen]

I just read through it again, and either i am blind, or it does not even say that much >.>

Actually, that's not true. Any tech application needs only to fill out the template as it is prescribed. Anything more is done only by each user's personal taste, some peeps like adding on sections for their own interests, and that's usually fine. It is not, however, a requirement to list a weapon's rate of fire or firing class. As Solaris said, in an RP setting, a weapon's RPM is a useless mechanic, with noting the technical distinction between autos, semis and singles also being relative non-factors for practical purposes. For the record though, the Ne'tra Kar a semi

Sorry to bump this, but 'not applicable' for ammunition capacity? It's got to have a power source of some form, and said power source won't be infinite (unless you're running around with a starship reactor on a trolley, but that might be a bit noticeable)

It's self recharging, much like the DC-15s model. So at the expense of a slower rate of fire, it doesn't possess a standard ammunition capacity until the power pack itself at some point in time fizzes out and needs to be replaced.

But on that note, I did forget to say it was a SNK micro-coil, so thanks for the heads up

 

[Green Ranger]

You might want to detail that a bit more in the write-up itself just to avoid confusion, so noone else confuses it for having unlimited ammo or anything. Soem sort of balancing restriction might be an idea too considering these things are pretty damn powerful.

Actually, of all things, most users tend to have a good grasp of the ammo variables in Star Wars. I can only actually recall one time where someone tried a true "unlimited", and it got sorted out pretty easily.

But on another note, the Ne'tra Kar is an alternative to the blaster (tech wise). It's not significantly more powerful than a well made blaster, just different; concussively "blasting" someone instead of "burning" or "searing" through them like a normal blaster or maser or whatev.

 

[Green Ranger]

Really? To me it reads more along the level of power as a concussion rifle.

 

[Jiang Winters]

Two questions:

Is it semi-automatic or does it have selective fire capabilities?

How many shots can it fire in a minute without having a chance to recharge?

Semi, but slow fire, like the Mattock from ME2. And I'd say 2- shots before the recharge necessity kicks in.

 

[Bee]

Would it be possible to unarchive this? I spoke to Gaja about acquiring one for my character (which he said would be fine) and just noticed it was in the archives and not the approved tech board.

 

[Jiang Winters]

No, sorry. I'm not comfortable with bringing this particular weapon back from the grave.

 

[Bee]

Time to go beat up Gaja for getting my hopes up!
