CLASS I — PERSONAL SIDEARMS
ELISTEIN M1
Type: Condensed-energy pistol
Role: Elite sidearm / precision energy weapon
Capacity: Six condensed-energy discharges
Effective Range: 50 metres
Maximum Range: 100 metres
Fire Mode: Semi-automatic
Mass: 1.4 kg loaded
The Elistein M1 is an unusually powerful compact energy weapon intended for specialised military personnel and elite operatives. Its power-cell system produces six condensed-energy shots per loaded cycle, with each discharge designed around extreme penetrative and destructive performance.
The M1 incorporates stabilisers, a holographic smart sight, integrated rangefinding, biometric authorisation and thermal-management systems. It can communicate directly with compatible tactical HUDs and possesses a reduced-signature operating mode for situations where energy emissions might compromise an operator's position.
Early records also describe the weapon as sufficiently destructive to reduce a single-storey structure to rubble. Jacob carried an Elistein M1 during the first recorded campaign.
Registry Assessment: Compact frame. Strategic-level output relative to conventional sidearms. Not considered appropriate for unrestricted civilian circulation.
XRM19
Type: Pistol
Role: Unspecified
Technical Record: Incomplete
The XRM19 exists within the arsenal register but currently lacks technical description.
DATA DEFICIENT — PENDING ARCHIVE EXPANSION.
DAYBREAKER
Type: Heavy condensed-plasma hand cannon
Creator / Primary Operator: Mitsuko
Role: Extreme destructive sidearm
Capacity: Six condensed-plasma discharges
Effective Range: 75 metres
Maximum Range: 150 metres
Loaded Mass: 5 kg
Calling Daybreaker a pistol is technically correct.
It is also misleading.
Designed and hand-built by Mitsuko, Daybreaker is a custom heavy-energy weapon capable of producing effects normally associated with weapons far larger than a conventional sidearm. Its condensed-plasma architecture generates immense thermal and kinetic output, with recorded effects including structural destruction, armour penetration and molecular-scale disintegration.
Its recoil is correspondingly severe. The weapon's output produces enough kinetic backlash to make conventional one-handed use unrealistic for ordinary personnel. Mitsuko nevertheless operates Daybreaker one-handed.
Technical records describe a high-capacity fusion cell, active liquid cooling, thermal targeting assistance, biometric security and an Overcharge Mode capable of consuming two plasma charges for a substantially more powerful discharge.
Unlike most military sidearms, Daybreaker should not be viewed as a defensive weapon.
It is a portable act of escalation.
Registry Warning: Unauthorised personnel are not to operate Daybreaker under any circumstances.
E9-360
Type: Energy pistol
Tier: Low-level / common issue
Identification: Thick barrel
The E9-360 represents the lower end of commonly available energy sidearms. Its thick-barrel configuration distinguishes it visually from higher-tier E-series weapons.
No further specifications are currently recorded.
E9-470
Type: Energy pistol
Tier: Mid-level / common issue
Identification: Thin barrel
A higher-grade relative of the E9-360. The E9-470 uses a narrower barrel architecture and occupies the middle tier of conventional energy sidearms.
F7-11
Type: Energy pistol
Tier: High-level
Configuration: Single barrel
The F7-11 represents the high-grade end of common energy sidearms.
Precise output and issue doctrine remain unspecified.
CLASS II — INFANTRY RIFLES
113-7C GELLAR PULSE ENERGY RIFLE
Classification: Standard Zeus service energy rifle
Capacity: 40 energy pulses per fuel cell
Effective Range: 300 metres
Maximum Range: 600 metres
Fire Modes: Semi-auto / three-round burst / fully automatic
Loaded Mass: 7 kg
The 113-7C Gellar Pulse is one of the definitive infantry weapons of Zeus military doctrine.
Designed for flexibility across multiple engagement ranges, the rifle uses advanced fuel-cell technology to generate concentrated energy pulses while integrated stabilisers and recoil dampeners maintain controllability.
Standard systems include multispectral optics, thermal vision, night vision, HUD connectivity, biometric firing controls, active thermal regulation and modular accessory mounting.
The rifle is used extensively by Zeus Guardsmen and is associated with Lynch's weapon Isabel.
Its defining strength is not overwhelming output.
It is reliability.
The Gellar exists to function repeatedly, accurately and under hostile battlefield conditions.
157-7C GL5
Classification: Advanced Gellar-pattern rifle
Role: Honour Guard / elite service rifle
The GL5 represents a significant refinement of the Gellar family.
Its extended thermal compartment accommodates approximately 150% additional heat-sink capacity, largely eliminating the overheating limitations encountered in earlier Gellar-derived designs.
Additional recoil-energy buffers permit the rifle to operate at approximately 15% greater power without suffering corresponding handling penalties.
Operational Character: Where the standard Gellar is dependable, the GL5 is deliberately over-engineered.
The weapon is associated with Honour Guard formations and should be considered an elite derivative rather than routine infantry issue.
M97E LIBERATOR
Type: Rifle
Known Operator: Toby
Technical Record: Incomplete
No additional specifications are currently documented.
P1-97 STARFINDER
Type: Semi-automatic rifle
Role: Precision infantry weapon
Known Operator: Ivy
The Starfinder is described as sleek, elegant and whisper-quiet.
Its design philosophy is markedly different from heavy Zeus weapons, favouring precision and controlled engagement rather than overwhelming destructive output.
Registry Characterisation: A rifle for shooters who intend to hit exactly what they aimed at—and nothing else.
THE DEMOLISHER
Type: Electrically driven rifle
Role: Lethal / incapacitating assault weapon
The Demolisher uses electrical technology to generate intense thermal concentration within high-velocity projectiles.
Recorded terminal effects include both death and paralysis.
Further technical classification remains incomplete.
SALAMANDER
Classification: Anti-armour thermal/chemical rifle
Role: Heavy infantry / anti-mech / anti-material
The Salamander is a dual-purpose weapon designed specifically for targets too heavily protected for conventional infantry arms.
Its primary function projects a mixture of superheated flame and fluoroantimonic acid, intended to compromise reinforced metals used in mechs, armoured vehicles and heavy infantry protection.
Its secondary configuration behaves more like a shotgun, launching napalm rounds that detonate on impact and ignite the target.
Unlike conventional rifles, the Salamander defeats protection through destruction of the protection itself.
Preferred Targets: Armoured infantry. Light vehicles. Mechanised platforms. Fortified access points. Close-range hard targets.
NIGHT-VALE
Classification: Mass-reactive ballistic rifle
Fire Rate: Three rounds per second
Role: High-lethality infantry weapon
The Night-vale represents an alternative technological philosophy to the dominant energy-weapon paradigm.
Its operating principles are recognisably ballistic, but enormously enhanced.
It fires mass-reactive shells that detonate on impact, dispersing shrapnel throughout the target while producing a wound cavity approximately the size of a fist.
At three rounds per second, the result is devastating.
Registry Note: Technologically conservative does not mean obsolete.
P1-80 FLUX RIFLE
Classification: Flux rifle
Service: Scarlet Sisterhood
Role: Standard infantry weapon
The P1-80 is identified as the standard flux rifle of the Scarlet Sisterhood.
Technical specifications remain unrecorded.
G1-6
Classification: Condensed-energy rifle
Fire Modes: Single / semi-automatic / full-auto
Historical User: Jackals
The G1-6 is a capable but imperfect energy rifle.
It can operate fully automatically, but the resulting recoil makes accurate sustained fire extremely difficult. Full-auto operation also reduces individual-shot power, leaving semi-automatic operation tactically preferable in most situations.
Registry Assessment: Functional. Versatile. Compromised under maximum cyclic fire.
HEAVY THERMITOUS RIFLE
Classification: Heavy thermal projection rifle
Service: Zeus
Role: Anti-horde / close-range denial
The Heavy Thermitous sacrifices range for terrifying killing power.
Instead of conventional bolts, the weapon projects streams of condensed heat from an extended barrel, producing a barrier of superheated flame capable of catastrophically destroying organic targets.
Under favourable conditions, the residual flames may remain active for up to an hour.
Its greatest weakness is ammunition consumption. Like a railgun, the Thermitous burns through available reserves extremely quickly.
Against advancing hordes, however, few infantry weapons are better suited.
KINETIC MAG RIFLE
Service: Scarlet Sisterhood Guard
Type: Magnetic / kinetic rifle
The Kinetic Mag Rifle is issued to Scarlet Sisterhood guards.
No further technical data are currently recorded.
P1C9 AUTOMATIC RIFLE
Service: Nameless
Type: Automatic rifle
The P1C9 is identified as the standard automatic rifle used by the Nameless.
C7-M4 CROSSFIRE
Classification: Twin-barrel projection rifle
Service: Scarlet Sisterhood
Role: Primary combat weapon
The Crossfire is a twin-barrelled projection rifle favoured by the Scarlet Sisterhood.
Its twin barrels maintain a latent energy charge during operation. Field descriptions characterise the weapon as somewhat unbalanced in the hands, suggesting considerable forward or lateral weight associated with the paired projection assemblies.
The designation also appears under the cannon registry, reflecting the system's unusually heavy projection architecture.
FC3
Classification: Conventional ballistic rifle
Environment: Omega slums
Magazine Capacity: 60+ rounds
The FC3 is a common ballistic weapon within the slums of Omega.
Its defining feature is its extended magazine, capable of holding sixty rounds or more while maintaining relatively low rates of jamming and misfire.
Unlike prestigious military energy systems, the FC3 survives because it is practical.
P1-3
Classification: Plasma rifle
No additional registry information currently exists.
CLASS VII — INCENDIARY & CLEANSING SYSTEMS
FTN-12 “PURITY”
Classification: Heavy Flamethrower Unit
Issued By: Zeus Command Forces
Role: Anti-Possession / Cleansing Operations
Fuel: Zeus Standard Type IX refined napalm
Loaded Mass: 47 kg
Fuel Capacity: 100 litres
Effective Flame Arc: 35 metres
Burst Projection: 50 metres
Burn Temperature: 1,200–1,400°C
The FTN-12 Purity was developed specifically from lessons learned during the early Ag’nagaruth incursions.
Reports demonstrated that conventional fire could inflict irreversible damage on organisms capable of surviving trauma that should have destroyed ordinary biological life.
Zeus answered with Purity.
Its twin pressurised tanks feed Zeus Standard Type IX refined napalm through reinforced ceramic fuel lines into a triple-arc plasma ignition assembly.
The system can sustain approximately twenty minutes of continuous discharge and is powered independently through a micro-fusion cell.
Purity is optimised for: Shipboard cleansing. Urban extermination. Corridor denial. Anti-possession operations. Containment failure.
Purgator units operate alongside shields or heavy infantry, laying overlapping flame curtains that prevent possessed formations from advancing or regenerating.
The FTN-12 is therefore more than a flamethrower.
It is a doctrinal response to an enemy that does not reliably stay dead.
“Purity is not mercy. Purity is fire.”
CLASS VI — RAIL WEAPONS
SUP.3
Classification: Railgun
Technical Record: Restricted / incomplete
Current archive documentation confirms the SUP.3 designation but provides no further operational specifications.
CLASS IV — PRECISION WEAPONS
B75-C LONG-RANGE RIFLE
Classification: Long-range rifle
Detailed specifications remain unavailable.
P60.2
Classification: Sniper rifle
Technical file incomplete.
CLASS V — CLOSE-ASSAULT WEAPONS
“SHELLY”
Classification: Fully automatic 12-gauge shotgun
Owner: Jacob
Construction: Gold-plated custom weapon
Role: Extreme close-quarters combat
Shelly is an anomaly.
In an age of plasma weapons, lasers and artificial intelligence, Jacob carries a fully automatic twelve-gauge shotgun styled after firearms from Earth's twentieth century.
Its exterior is plated in polished gold.
Its internal engineering is anything but primitive.
Shelly fires high-impact scatter ammunition at extremely high rates of fire, producing devastating effects against flesh and armour at close range.
Only one Shelly exists.
Jacob treats the weapon not simply as equipment, but as something approaching a companion and heirloom.
In military terms, that sentiment is irrelevant.
In practical terms, it means the weapon is maintained obsessively.
Registry Annotation:
CERBERUS SHOTGUN
Classification: Rotary-chamber shotgun
Ammunition: Tungsten slugs
Role: Heavy close-quarters assault
The Cerberus shotgun uses rotating chambers that spin into firing configuration with a distinctive mechanical report.
Its tungsten ammunition allows it to deliver a dense, high-mass barrage at close range.
CLASS VI — CANNONS & HEAVY PROJECTION SYSTEMS
AVENGER MK6
Classification: Twin-barrelled energy weapon
Model: Mk6
The Avenger is a twin-barrel energy platform listed under cannon-grade weaponry.
No further specifications are available in the current registry.
CLASS VIII — EXPLOSIVES
P15
Classification: Plastic explosive
The P15 is a portable plastic explosive system.
No yield, trigger system or deployment specifications are currently recorded.
CLASS IX — EDGED WEAPONS
STANDARD BOWIE KNIFE
The Bowie-pattern combat knife remains listed within the arsenal despite the dominance of advanced ranged weapons.
HERMES
Blade of the Obsidian Maw
Weapon Type: Sword
Material: Oblivium
Wielder: Captain Chontos
Affiliation: Pantheon Knights / Leviathan's Umbrella Echion
Forged from Oblivium mined within the Obsidian Maw, Hermes is simultaneously military weapon, religious symbol and instrument of authority.
Its midnight-black edge carries no unnecessary decoration. Its history provides all the ornament required.
Captain Chontos carries Hermes as commander of the Pantheon Knights, where the sword's appearance on the battlefield represents something far greater than the arrival of an individual combatant.
It means judgement has already been passed.
BOREAS’ JUDGEMENT
The Winter King's Claymore
Weapon Type: Claymore
Material: Cryonium
Wielder: Captain Leva
Boreas’ Judgement is forged from Cryonium, a rare alloy that remains perpetually glacial regardless of surrounding battlefield temperature.
Its wounds do not behave like conventional blade trauma.
The weapon's ornate gold hilt and elaborate craftsmanship contrast sharply with the brutality of its function.
It is from this weapon that Leva's title—The Winter King—derives much of its meaning.
AZRAKAR, THE BLIGHTREAVER
Weapon Type: Sword
Wielder: Malcharion
No further technical description is recorded within the current archive.
Given the weapon's named status, it should remain categorised separately from ordinary military blades pending expansion of its historical and material record.
ARES
Weapon Type: Sword
Wielder: Yeon-jin
Technical specifications remain unrecorded.
