Squib Tensor Rifle

About the Squib Tensor Rifle

The Squibs, that famously acquisitive species of scavenger-traders, are also improbably gifted with tensor-field technology, and this rifle is one of their stranger exports. Rather than firing a bolt, it projects a manipulated gravitic tensor field that seizes, crushes, and repels matter, letting a Squib salvager wrench a hull plate free or throw an intruder across a cargo bay. Turned on a living target, that same field batters with invisible force, an energy discharge that ignores the usual armor its makers were never designed to punch through. The technology is temperamental and poorly understood outside Squib hands, which keeps it rare and expensive on the open market. Two hands and a steady stance are required to manage the recoil-that-isn't, a strange shove-and-pull as the field engages. Odd, exotic, and unmistakably Squib, it is a weapon that treats the battlefield like a junkyard to be rearranged.
