Weapons & Armor of the 'Verse

Weapons and Armor Tech

Weapons within this universe are similar to all sorts of weapons ranging from blasters to shotguns. Light sabers are still primitive here and run off a short rechargeable battery and blasters run out of energy quickly but do very large amounts of damage to targets. Weapons tech is spread out from modern weapons of today (2013) to highly advanced prototypes. Some weapons run off a micro-scaled mass accelerators, using mass-reducing fields and magnetic force to propel miniature slugs to lethal speeds. Other weapons rely on highly dense chemicals to propel the rounds at extreme velocities to match advanced weapons. 

In order to combat newer weapon prototypes, older weapons are fitted out with shield generators to protect them from being instantly cut in half. Some swords come with heated edges to easily cut through hardened materials and clash with light sabers. Other melee weapons have special weaves through them that vibrate the swords molecules to match the vibrations of light saber energy causing them to work on a similar frequency so they aren't easily cut in half.  Armor can be made out of extremely dense and durable materials and depending on how armored one wishes to be they will have to compensate for weight. 

Lighter armor can compensate with personal shield generators. Though primitive these generators can take a shot or two before shorting out and leaving the user defenseless, they can be the difference between life and death. 


Examples of Weapons:

• Light Sabers (prototypes not reliable)
• Vibroswords
• Heat Blades
• Blasters (prototypes not reliable)
• Thermal Clip Guns
• Casters
• RPGs
• Fire Fly Guns (cause they're awesome)
• etc.

Armor Examples:

• Exosuits
• Sneak suits
• Impact combat body suit
  
• Mass Effect armor
• etc.

Mechs

There are mechs within this world yet they are more of exosuits for the time being. They aren't very mobile yet pack a heavy punch with their weapons. Most mechs range from 10-15 feet in height. Given enough time mechs may become more relevant on the battlefield, for now they are more of a conversation piece. Some snipers enjoy mechs for their stability and targeting procedures, yet they are hard to hide from range.
