Description
Krao, the mindless, virtually limitless alien swarm used by the skrith has caused the reappearance of weapons such as shotguns and heavy spread weapons, as well as many unusual designs and inventions, including electrical armaments. The HVC (High Voltage Cannon) Mk9 is one such device, making its first appearance during the second Human-Skrith war. Designed by Nexron defense, pioneers in Terran energy weapon technology, the HVC is indeed suited to destroying Krao drones in vast quantities. In battlefield trials, the 'lightning gun' has proven to be highly effective in close combat against Krao and occasionally proving useful against Cryons and even Skrith. Using a large energy cell mounted on the user's backpack, it can produce extremely high-voltage charges of electricity. These arcs can rake across an area, grabbing hold of enemies and throwing them around at will. Although the fairly low current charge does little damage, the shock is extremely disorientating to enemies and the ability to throw targets around makes this a very effective weapon in the right situation.The HVC-Mk9 can also charge up a devastating 'red lightning' attack, providing much more damage by using a plasma stream to form a controlled arc of high current electricity. This, unfortunately, has the added side-effect of a potential overcharge, should the weapon overheat. The only drawbacks to HVC-Mk9 are its limited range and tendency to overheat due to its high energy usage. This can cause the weapon to malfunction and jam or, if the weapon continues to charge, a deadly electrical discharge. The weapon does, however, feature a manual shutdown and venting system to manage heat levels. It should also be noted that, due to its electrical properties, the HVC should not be exposed to excessive moisture.
