Luclear technology is heavily influenced by the technologies and materials found native to their home planet. The Luclear are a race that believe heavily in the use of natural materials and alloys, but also have a high level of technology. The mix of the two make for extremely potent, durable weapons not matched by any other race. Plasma Whip The Plasma Whip is an extremely dangerous weapon crafted for Luclear members that work closely with animals. They are often used to control and command various species, and can also be used as a dangerous weapon. The handle contains a powerful magnetic field generator to control the plasma it issues. The field is easily manipulated by moving air currents and electric pulses controlled by the handle, allowing the plasma whip to function as a traditional leather whip would. The whip glows a white color. The handle is made of steel alloys native to the volcanic regions of Zeta Cerberi. The electronic components are made of a rare silicon alloy also found only on Zeta Cerberi. Because of the rarity of the materials, these whips are not commonly used, and parts can not easily be found. Instead, most Luclear carry a traditional leather whip, if they'd be using on at all. The whip itself, while not fatal after a single slash, can tear skin off of most races. Most animals the whip would be used on will feel minimal pain, but suffer no major injuries. When used a a weapon, multiple lashes could lead to sever bleeding and lacerations, eventually leading to death. Electronic Armor Systems ![]() Concept by dasAdam Electronic Armor Systems are a very simple, but effective armor system developed by the Luclear. It is essentially a steel shell with small electrical charges running throughout them, to help neutralize close threats. The electric pulses eliminate direct hand to hand combat, and make close range combat effective for the Luclear. The armor is heavy, but Luclear are strong, fast, and agile and it has minimal impact on their overall movement speed. An EMP blast could render the electric pulses useless, but the armors primary defense comes from its steel plating, not the electric pulse. The steel plating is made out of a special steel native to Zeta Cerberi. It can be repaired using any kind of steel, but it looses strength over time with this repair method. Overall the armor is extremely durable, but under enough pressure it will crack, break, and effectively become useless. EMP Pistol The EMP pistol looks like a standard sidearm, albeit slightly larger in size. It is used by the Luclear to disable their opponents armor and vehicles, as well as some other technology, without damaging their own. The pistol works by charging an extremely hot bolt of plasma, and then containing it within a magnetic field. The plasma and field react in a special way ensuring the shot remains solid and effect less until hitting it's target. On impact, however, the field disintegrates and reacts with the plasma to create a small, short ranged EMP that only affects the target hit. It has proven extremely effective and controlled, unlike the standard, large scale EMP blasts used by the human race. It is the only small scale EMP technology known to exist. Bolt Launcher The Bolt Launcher is a simple plasma machine gun. It fires super-heated, concentrated plasma bolts at rapid speeds with some degree of accuracy. The bolts often shine a bright blue or white color, and can deal high amounts of damage when hitting in large numbers. A single bolt is likely to be almost harmless to any shielded victim, and leave minimal scarring on an unshielded one. When fired at full capacity, however, the weapon can be devastating. It has a set charge, and will overheat after enough use, making it unable to fire until it cools. Some Luclear have chosen to modify their weapons to have extra cooling vents to enable longer periods of use before overheating. Harp Blade The Harp blade is one of the preferred blades used by the Luclear. The blade is made of strong ores and minerals that are found on the planet it is being wielded, and can easily be mass produced, maintained, and created. The blade is engulfed in a superheated plasma to increase damage and lethality. The plasma can be turned off, and the weapon used as a normal sword to save power or when no power is avaliable. Unlike other traditional plasma blades, which simply pass through each other, these blades will clash when they collide because of their metallic core blade. The entire weapon is crafted from strong, naturally occuring materials except for the plasma, which is generated within the blade. They are fragile compared to most other Luclear technology, but are durable enough to be an effective, cheaply produced weapon. Plasma Knives Plasma knives are single hand blades carried by most Luclear as a small melee based weapon used in addition to plasma based projectile weapons. Some Luclear will carry two of these blades and use them as weapons also. The Plasma Knife consists of a handle that generates a simple, slightly curved plasma blade that can be used to cut through forests, materials, and foes alike. When two blades come into contact they simply pass through one another, or appear to merge. Because there is no solid core, they can not clash like a traditional sword, and have no defensive value against a sword or other non-knife weapon. Haron Saw The Haron Saw is probably one of the most advanced of the most advance pieces of technology developed by the Luclear. The Haron Saw consist of two separate handles joined together by an extremely strong plasma blade and magnetic field. The blade takes on the appearance of a saw, and functions as one. These saws are often used for harvesting natural materials such as wood, ores, and other materials, since they can cut through almost any material. While it takes two luclear to effectively use the saw, it can be used as a weapon. Two luclear would simply run up to a large enemy structure or vehicle and begin using the blade to hack away at vital areas until it becomes useless. It has no anti-personnel value. Haru The Haru is a standard all purpose blade designed by the Luclear early on in their history. The handle consists of the most durable woods from the planet on which it is constructed, and the blade made from naturally occurring alloys from the planet as well. Materials for the Haru obviously vary from planet to planet. It is almost impossible to gauges strength and durability of the weapon as a whole, because there are too many variables in determining it. The materials used and the craftsman are extremely important. A skilled craftsman could make a durable Haru with horrid materials, where as an amateur could make a horrid one. High quality materials almost always ensure a decent blade regardless of craftsman skill level. Akela is known to have high quality materials from which these blades could be made. Kaibur Shield The Kaibur Shield is a hand held, rounded shield that can be carried by a Luclear into battle. They are made of some of the strongest alloys found at the ocean depths of Zeta Cerberi and are extremely resilient to most impacts and damaging weapons, for several hits and attacks. The alloys are rare to find anywhere else in the galaxy, and the Kaibur Shields are extremely valued amongst collectors and the Luclear themselves. Owning one of these shields is often a symbol of power and skill in combat, and most can not use them effectively in combat. They can make great melee weapons at close range should the need arise, and in the right hands, could easily turn the tide of a small conflict in favor of the user. Pulse Hammer The Pulse Hammer is an extremely rare weapon, because the plans to build them were long lost due to the lack of recorded history. This is an incredibly massive weapon designed to be technologically advanced, and extremely brutal. The hammer itself is extremely powerful, and is capable of causing catosrophic damage to living targets, save some of the strongest wildlife on Akela. The initial blow of the weapon on it's own will crack or break most bones, and cause damage to most internal organs. A single strike is not an instant kill, and will leave the target to die a slow, painful death. Armor may provide some basic protection against the weapon, however it will most likely not survive multiple hits. The sheer size of the weapon and the power of the wielder are deadly, and the pulse makes it all the worse. Inside the head of the hammer is a pulse generator rigged to impact sensors. The moment the weapon strikes an object at force, it emits powerful pulses that can create stress weaknesses in most armor, and will send most objects flying within a close range. Combine the sheer size of the hammer with the pulse generator, and you've got an extremely effective, deadly weapon, with close to medium range combat options. It is a preferred weapon for clan leaders and commanders of Ganos armies, as few are known to have survived, and they are a symbol of power and competency in combat. To date these weapons are extremely rare amongst the Luclear, and attaining one is diffucult strickly due to the fact that they haven't been made in some time. Family Blade This is a blade held within each individual family, constructed from extremely powerful alloys and made using secret methods held close to each family. Not much is known about them except that they hold an extremely high personal value to each of the Luclear that weilds them. Edited by Skiggs, Jun 3 2010, 03:03 PM.
