Welcome to Gaia! ::

As Abh technology stresses particle generation, a field well researched by the Abh, the Abh require significant amounts of energy and have massive, multi-deck power cores using matter/antimatter reactions to produce the energy needed.

Monofilament Weapons - Monofilament is a line of wraithbone one atom wide. It is used in projectiles of several calibers.

Anti-Ship Monofilament weapons, such as the Deathblossom Torpedo use projectiles cast through the Warp (what the Randir call the Void) into the center of a target. Once the projectile enters it's target ship, a monofilament web "blossoms" and then begins to convert matter into energy and then into wraithbone, expanding throughout the ship. The projectile will continue to expand in a web of monofilaments until the web exceeds the size of the ship, then it will collapse in on itself, doing further damage to the target.

Anti-Personnel Monofilament weapons are sometimes formed into hard armor-piercing projectiles that will react with and convert liquids. The idea behind this is that a projectile will pierce body armor and then expand when it is exposed to body fluids, optimally moving along the bloodstream in an expanding web that will doubtless prove fatal to the target. The monofilament rifle, a weapon available to warp spider exarchs, works this way. The deathspinner, the standard ranged weapon of warp spiders, fires nets of monofilament that contract on any targets that they do not simply slice through. The contraction causes further damage to the victim.

Shuriken Weaponry - Shuriken weapons are the most common infantry weapons of the Randir. Shuriken weapons use solid cores of ammunition that are usually cylindrical. High-energy impulses shear off monofilament layers of the core and quickly project them through the barrel to the target. This method allows for a hundred shots for every two second burst and ten such bursts for each standard ammo core. At long ranges shuriken weapons are not very accurate, but shuriken weapons are always to be used in large numbers at shorter ranges, making accuracy or inaccuracy for each individual weapon of no consequence.

Distort Cannon - The Distort Cannon, often abbreviated D-Cannon, is among the most powerful weapons the Randir possess. It is a perfected purely Force-based weapon. The D-Cannon works by firing a Wraithbone projectile containing a Force Entity, a detached essence of a spiritstone-housed Force ghost. The highly energized projectile emits a massive explosion of a broad range of energies upon reaching it's target. However, the true power of the weapon comes from the projectile's second stage in which it draws on the energies of its surroundings, including any energies that may have been released in the initial explosion, creating a powerful implosion and subsequent explosion of exponentially greater yield than the initial burst. The projectile is created, charged, launched, and guided by a Force ghost within a spiritstone.

Long Rifle - The Long Rifle is the primary ranged weapon of Randir rangers. It fires a fragile, hollow nail-like wraithbone projectile containing wet plasma that is superheated just before the projectile is fired out of the weapon. The wraithbone itself is charged with Force energy to keep the plasma from destroying the projectile. Upon impacting its target, the projectile is designed to puncture armor and be shattered by the time it passes inside the armor. Once inside, if the target is hollow (i.e. the cabin of a vehicle) the superheated plasma splashes out of the punctured point in the armor melting most types of material it comes in contact with. If the target is infantry personnel, the round bursts inside the armor and releases its vicious liquid plasma contents, causing a horrendous amount of damage on any flesh and possibly enlarging the hole in the armor through which the projectile went. If the projectile doesn't puncture the armor at all and merely shatters on the outside, the wet plasma from inside the projectile may potentially weaken that point in the armor by burning through it partially.

Chainswords - Weapons that that are like one-hand-held chainsaws and are the standard melee weapons of Striking Scorpions. They have extremely sharp teeth that hurtle rapidly around on a chain when triggered.


Mandiblasters - Mandiblasters are mounted on helmets; one on each side. They fire lasers and volleys of micro-needles. The laser beams are guided along the needles. Mandiblasters have very short range, but tend to be extremely deadly at close range. In conjunction with chainswords, striking scorpions use mandiblasters to greatly terrifying effect.

Webway Gate Cloak - Webway Gates are capable of generating an exotic energy field. Wraithbone within this field reacts with this energy, withdrawing into only one of the eleven dimensions apparent in normal space in a manner similar in principle to a phase cloak. However, the technology is actually related to Void travel and so cannot be countered in the same manner as a phase cloak. The final effect is that any wraithbone and anything encapsulated in wraithbone will be pulled into a pocket dimension where interaction with normal space matter is limited to matter fixed for extended periods of time (on the order of centuries, at least). However, cloaked objects are still able to observe matter in normal space.

Ranger Cloak - Rangers wear cloaks made of wraithbone in a cloth-like mesh form. Using specific Force powers, a ranger is able to alter the way his cloak bends light, and thus alter it's colors. This skill, combined with a Force power that gives the ranger a 360 degree view in a small radius around himself, allows the ranger to have chameleon-like stealth. Rangers are trained to use this cloak in conjunction with an advanced Full Force Cloak. The Force Cloak used by the Randir effectively removes the Ranger from the awareness of anyone who might perceive the Ranger through several processes that bend radiation around the Ranger and prevent many of the Ranger's own emissions and noises.

One form of Randir communication is a Force-based language, similar in principle to the Mirai language, but using the Force of the Force Entity contained in the Randir Craftworld and being of a very different form from that of the Mirai language. The two languages remain distinct, though both are used by their respective nations for both communication and control of various machinery. The Randir Force language is the Randir's primary method of coordinating on the battlefield. Randir commanders are able to maintain awareness of the locations and situations of each of their troops throughout entire battles as long as the commanders devote enough concentration and have the energy to maintain their "psychic ears and eyes" of sorts. The required level of concentration varies with the skill of each commander. A veteran commander is almost always skilled enough to maintain Force communication with all his army even when he is in the heat of a duel himself. Though Randir have evolved a natural ability to proficiently use the Force and communicate through it, all but the most unique Randir must make some mental effort to maintain their telepathic Force language ability. A veteran commander is almost always skilled enough to maintain Force communication with all his army even when he is in the heat of a duel himself. The Randir primarily use auditory communication and often use this in dealing with alien species and off of the battlefront.

The Randir use converted psychic Force energy as a power source. The Randir possess psychically attuned crystals into which Force ghosts can be trapped. Each Randir warrior has such a crystal, called a spiritstone, embedded into his or her armor suit, so that if the warrior dies, their Force ghost goes directly into the spiritstone. If it is retrieved, power can be drawn from the spiritstone or the spiritstone can be inserted into one of many types of Randir machines operated solely by spiritstones. In areas with high concentrations of Force ghosts, Randir place machines capable of capturing Force ghosts and transferring them into spiritstones. Since most spiritstones contain the precious souls of deceased Randir warriors, they are treated with great care.

Infinity Circuits - Randir spaceships and large colonies are powered by infinity circuits. Infinity Circuits are collections of large numbers of spiritstones (hundreds to thousands in most ships and colonies, but sometimes millions or more) which are inserted into large wraithbone constructs. In these constructs, each soul held within the spiritstones is connected by a closed psychic network. The vast amounts of psychic energy that are constantly emitting from infinity circuits are converted into other forms of energy providing power to the Randir.

Pulsar Cannon: A repeating tachyonic weapon of unknown origin and power
Terra Cannon


II. Shields/Armor
Nightshade armor: an armor slightly out of phase. As such, it is near indestructible, however, protected areas cannot fire. This leaves the Nosferatu still using cannons when they have more than enough technology to make beam emitters.

III. Cloaking Technology
Phase cloak: Tried and true best cloaking procedure. Nosferatu phase cloaks are so advanced, they can enter and exit hyperspace and the Void phased out.

V. Communications Systems
Most communication is done through latent Nosferatu ability, "Whisper."
