About the Ion Projector
Purpose-built to unmake machines, the ion projector floods its target with ionized energy that overwhelms circuits and seizes servos, dropping droids and disabling electronics the way a stun bolt fells the living. Against a battle droid or a security system its extra ion payload is decisive, the discharge functioning much as a stunning blow does against flesh, scrambling the machine until it locks up or falls. Techs, saboteurs, and anyone who expects to face automated foes carry weapons in this family for exactly that specialty. It is a poor choice against organic enemies, who shrug off ionized bolts that would cripple a droid, so the wielder must know the fight they are walking into. In a galaxy that fields entire armies of machines, a dedicated anti-droid weapon like this one earns its place in the loadout many times over.
Notes
Anti-droid weapon. Adds +2d6 Ion damage vs droids and electronics. Ion damage to droids functions like Stun damage to organics.
