Primary Weapons

Rapid-fire Laser Canon

Blastech’s Spitfire rapid-fire laser cannon is capable of delivering an unparalleled number of bolts per second for a sustained period due to its low power consumption. Its damage fall-off and poor accuracy, however, limit its effectiveness to short-range engagements.

• Tier 1 – Increased Damage: Blaster damage increased by 5%
• Tier 2 – Reduced Power Cost: The cost of using blasters is reduced by 10%
• Tier 3 – Ignore Armor: Blaster damage ignores 100% of enemy armor

• Tier 5 – Increased Shield Damage: Blaster damage to enemy ship shields increased by 18%

Heavy Laser Cannon

The SoroSuub HLC-14 heavy laser cannon has high accuracy, long range and does great damage. Its slow rate of fire and significant power consumption are seen by many pilots as a fair tradeoff. Since SoroSuub’s Sullust manufacturing centers were captured by the Empire, both Republic and Imperial navies have scrambled to obtain enough HLC-14s to arm their respective fleets.

• Tier 1 – Increased Damage: Blaster damage increased by 5%
• Tier 2 – Increased Range: Blaster range increased by 5%
• Tier 3 – Increased Hull Damage: Blaster damage to enemy ship hulls increased by 8%
• Tier 4 – Improved Tracking and Critical Chance: Critical hit chance increased by 3%, and weapon tracking penalty reduced by 5%
• Tier 4 – Ignore Armor: Blaster damage ignores 100% of enemy armor
• Tier 5 – Shield Piercing: Shield piercing increased by 15%
• Tier 5 – Increased Shield Damage: Blaster damage to enemy ship shields increased by 18%

Ion Cannon

Santhe Corporation ion cannons (nicknamed “Sparkers” by Republic pilots) do almost no damage to ship hulls but eliminate shields at frightening speed and easily disable enemy systems. They are too inaccurate to be used effectively at long range and have a slow rate of fire, but consume only moderate amounts of energy.

• Tier 1 – Improved Accuracy: Weapon accuracy increased by 6%
• Tier 2 – Reduced Power Cost: The cost of using blasters is reduced by 10%
• Tier 3 – Increased Rate of Fire: Blaster rate of fire increased by 8%
• Tier 4 – Drain Engine Power: Blaster hits drain 4 engine power from the target
• Tier 4 – Increased Range: Ion Cannon range increased by 5%
• Tier 5 – Drain Weapon Power: Blaster hits drain 4 weapon power from the target.
• Tier 5 – Drain Shield Power: Blaster hits drain 40 shield power from the target.

Quad Laser Cannon

The gold standard of laser cannon design. Merr-Sonn’s LCQ-4 quad laser cannon fires alternating pairs of bolts from four cannon barrels, dealing considerably more damage than standard laser cannons while maintaining formidable accuracy and rate of fire. Its biggest downside is its power consumption–a drawback Merr-Sonn is keen to downplay.

• Tier 1 – Increased Rate of Fire: Blaster rate of fire increased by 8%
• Tier 2 – Increased Range: Blaster range increased by 5%
• Tier 3 – Increased Damage: Blaster damage increased by 5%
• Tier 4 – Increased Critical Hit Damage: Critical hits damage an additional 15% of Quad

• Tier 5 – Increased Critical Hit Chance: Critical hit chance increased by 10%

Secondary Weapons

Proton Torpedoes

Merr-Sonn recently unveiled its latest proton torpedo, the PX-4–a weapon capable of locking onto targets at extreme range and causing massive damage, ignoring armor and shields alike. While its drawbacks include a lengthy lock-on period, a narrow lock-on targeting cone, and the launcher’s limited ammunition capacity, the PX-4 is nonetheless ideal for deployment against armored objectives.

• Tier 1 – Reduced Lock On Time: Lock on time reduced by 14%
• Tier 2 – Increased Critical Damage Chance: Critical damage chance increased by 10%
• Tier 3 – Increased Damage: Missile damage increased by 5%

• Tier 5 – Increased Range: Range increased by 15%

Concussion Missiles

Too massive for any ship to carry in large numbers, Balmorran Arms L04 Silent Thunder concussion missiles can lock onto a target within a moderate timeframe and carry enough fuel to travel long distances. Only two L04s are needed to destroy most ships; the missiles are also capable of doing substantial damage to satellites and other mission objectives.

• Tier 1 – Shield Piercing: Shield piercing increased by 8%
• Tier 2 – Reduced Lock On Time: Lock on time reduced by 14%
• Tier 3 – Increased Damage: Missile damage increased by 5%

Cluster Missiles

Renowned for their quick lock-on time, Czerka’s RK-77 cluster missiles are a favorite for close-range dogfights. The missiles’ small frames allow pilots to carry more ammunition into battle, though this compact design also sacrifices fuel and payload space, resulting in comparatively low range and damage potential.

• Tier 1 – Reduced Lock On Time: Lock on time reduced by 14%
• Tier 2 – Shield Piercing: Shield piercing increased by 8%
• Tier 3 – Increased Damage: Missile damage increased by 5%
• Tier 4 – Increased Range: Missile range increased by 10%

• Tier 5 – Plasma Warheads: Missiles cause an additional 15% damage over 5 seconds

Shields

Feedback Shield

The Mandalorian Clan Deshra reverse-engineered the alien technology behind their Retribution feedback shields almost a century ago, and now sell handcrafted Retribution devices to the highest bidder. These shields have only moderate strength, but can be activated with an additional energy charge that delivers significant damage to the next enemy to hit the shield with a primary weapon.

• Tier 1 – Increased Feedback Damage: Feedback damage increased by 15%
• Tier 2 – Reduced Cooldown: Ability cooldown time reduced by 10 seconds
• Tier 3 – Critical Feedback: Feedback Shield has a 20% chance to do critical damage to enemies.
• Tier 3 – Reactor Feedback: Feedback shock drains 10 points of the attacker’s weapon and engine power.

Charged Plating

The Merr-Sonn OOD-A charged plating shield system includes a strong shield with a good regeneration rate; however, approximately half of all damage done to the shield bleeds through to a ship’s hull. To compensate for this problem, the pilot may activate the system’s charged plating and significantly increase the hull’s damage reduction for a short period.

• Tier 1 – Reduce Shield Damage Bleedthrough: Reduce the amount of damage that bleeds through your shields to your hull when hit by 10%
• Tier 2 – Increased Duration: Ability duration is increased by 4 seconds.
• Tier 3 – Weapon Power Shunt: Damage taken while Charged Plating is active will generate 5 weapon power per hit. This effect can occur once per second.

Retro Thrusters

Elsinore-Cordova’s Lukaze Four engine and thruster system stands out for its inclusion of retro thrusters, allowing a ship to briefly accelerate in reverse. The maneuvering ship flies straight backwards, boosting its evasion before resuming its original course (and accelerating back to its forward speed). Named for the famed Bothan pilot Ne’wha Lukaze, retro thrusters allow a pilot to slip behind pursuers who get too close.

• Tier 1 – Reduced Power Cost: Reduces the power cost of activating Retro Thrusters by 15
• Tier 2 – Reduced Cooldown Time: Ability cooldown time reduced by 5 seconds.

This maneuver has the added benefit of evading any missiles that might be locked on.

• Tier 1 – Reduced Power Cost: Reduces the power cost of activating Koiogran Turn by 15.
• Tier 2 – Reduced Cooldown Time: Ability cooldown time reduced by 5 seconds.
