Name: Plasma Scimitar
Owner: Drosden pirate fleet
Creator: Parhichi scientists
Development Thread: N/a
Type: Plasma coated standard issue scimitar
Ammo: Short range heatwaves
Rarity: Common
Strengths
-Meelee combat. The plasma scimitar is a common meelee weapon carried by most drosden fleet pirates and intended for last resort hand to hand combat. The heat that the blade produces is high enough to cut through alot of armor types, specifically the untreated metal ones (some metals can be made out of a metal that makes melting less likely while other armors can be made out of a different material such as Cykx plexiglass) and the blade itself is sharp enough to provide excellent meelee damage against heat ressistant targets. Additionally, when overcharging the plasma engines the blade can produce and fire a heatwave that carries roughly 5 meters.
Weaknesses
-Meelee combat. As is common with swords they are not very usefull in a gunfight when one isnt extremely skilled. Additionally the range of the attacks is limited by the length of the blade (save for the heatwave) and even then can swings be easily blocked out, parried or dodged. The blade runs on a generator that keeps the plasma flowing evenly to heat up the blade and after a heatwave the blade will no longer be heated for a varying period of time (usually somewhere between 10 and 20 seconds). Unlike most swords, stabbing with the scimitar is rather tricky due to the shape of the blade.
Description
Contrary to popular belief, the drosden pirate fleet actually does have a scientific branch that researches a variety of equipment for the fleet next to civilian research. One of these projects was a standard issue meelee weapon for any crewmember of the fleet to carry. Prototypes showed potential already and it didnt take long for a standard issue weapon to hit the market.
