Herapi Weapons |
The most common Herapi side arms are known as “Pain Makers”. They work by shooting out a coherent blast that overloads a targets senses and renders them unconscious. Even though they can be set for different types of stimulation the pain setting is the most popular for Herapi pirates. The pleasure settings have been known to be abused by the pirates on themselves.
In addition to firing bolts of intense pain or pleasure Pain Makers are also formed into the shape of various blades. These razor sharp edges are reserve red for close combat and emergences. Even when the blades are used for fighting the Herapi are trained not to use them fatally if they can help it.
Pain Maker blasts have a small area of effect when they hit. The blast can penetrate most unpowered armor, and even some walls. Even a near miss can temporarily disable a target.
The Herapi have slowly started to out fit combat slaves and their Mynotaer troops with modified Pain Makers. But due to cost this will take a while.
