Description
The Imperium commissioned an new design of weapons to fit the needs of the newly drafted human soldiers of the Grand Duchy.The E.I.C was one of an series of weapons made to suit the needs of the humanoid forces considering most of the current Imperial weaponry were designed for use by the Varanus.
The Engineering Corps worked closely alongside Farnin's primary weapons development and manufacturing company known as Elnre Industries,securing goverment subsidies for them as they used their knowledge of human manufacturing alongside Varanus engineering.
The Elnre Industries Carbine was the first to be approved by the Legion and deployed among the soldiers of the Grand Duchy and other humanoid races serving the Imperium.
The E.I.C today is the standard issue weapon for most of the Duchy's soldiers,it's design was praised by it's users who found the versatility of the rifle to outweigh the lack of stopping power common in the more powerful Kinetic and energy weaponry used by the Varanus Legionnaires.
The weapon also has an export version containing Imperial patents embedded within the weapon to safeguard it against smuggling and to make it much harder to reverse engineer.
