Objective

The war with the Children of Mortis has yielded interesting results so far, with one important revelation: the special crystals that have been gifted to the Clans by the Dark Council can be used for more than just creating monstrous crystal ascendants. As such, you have been tasked with designing a weapon that utilizes these nearly indestructible crystals.

Create a suitable weapon prototype for Synergy Technologies Inc. for use by the Dark Jedi Brotherhood that utilizes the ascendant crystals. The prototype can be any type of weapon you want, excluding a lightsaber.

Note: Winning entries are not guaranteed addition to possessions, but are a possibility.

Crystal Hardpoint.jpg
Textual submission

Item name: Guided Crystal Launcher

Item Type: Large Hardpoint - IV

Item category: Large Hardpoint

Proposed shop: Synergy Starship Outfitters

Proposed rarity: Rare

Item Cost: 125,000

Item description: A hardpoint on this vessel has been fitted with guided crystal warhead launchers. The crystal munitions are 28 cm in length and when in a dormant state are red in color, but when loaded into the launcher, are energized and produce a pulsing red glow. These guided projectiles are fired at such a high velocity that they ignore a ship's shielding and can pierce a standard hull. They explode with a violent wave of physical and electrical energy capable of shredding armor plating and overloading electrical systems.

Name: Volatile Crystal Cannon
Rarity: Legendary
Category: Repeating Blaster
Cost: 79,000
Description: The Brotherhood has managed to contain a crystal inside an exposed blaster chamber.

Item Prototype Name: **Yeet Canon Deluxe**
Image: https://i.imgur.com/zETjljg.jpg
Item Prototype Proposed Rarity: Rare
Item Prototype Proposed Cost: 20,000 Credits
Item Prototype Description:
*The Yeet Canon Deluxe is large charged-based energy weapon infused with the power of magic Force crystals with no questionable ethics or quandaries. The stock is compressed and features the power cell levels, while the barrel is opened up with two prongs that edge towards where the beam can be emitted from. The trigger mechanism is loose, but requires a steady depression to charge. Without 3-seconds of charge, minimum, the weapon will not fire and just spit out a weak, faint puff of light. The strength of the power scales based on how long the charge is. Charging for more than 30 seconds, however, will cause the unit to overheat and explode. Use with caution, and always point away from the body.*

Item Prototype Name: Crystal Diffraction Gun
Example Item Image: https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/warhammer40k/images/d/df/Neuro_Disruptor.png/revision/latest?cb=20150302000406
Item Prototype Proposed Rarity: Legendary
Item Prototype Proposed Cost: 60 000
Item Prototype Description: The Crystal Diffraction Gun is an elongated but slender blaster pistol with a limited capacity. It is constructed with an adjustable Ascedant Crystal matrix that either focuses or diffracts the enhanced plasma beam. In its focused configuration, all of the enhanced crystal energy is projected in a tight beam with enough power to punch through even light vehicle armor. In the diffracture mode, the beam is dispersed into a scattergun pattern with each individual bolt equivalent to a blaster pistol. The weapon offers excellent utility in dealing with either heavily armored foes or groups of light infantry. Switching between the modes requires a quick physical adjustment of the crystal matrix.
