Ashnar

Ashnar is Athena's personal side arm, it is a railgun revolver capable of piercing most hulls.

Properties
Ashnar in most regards is a typical rail gun utilized in a three-shot revolver; utilizing a magnetic cartridge which is discharged from the pre-charged rail gun. The gun itself requires an additional power supply, from which cartridges can be placed and charged; each one of these cartridges at full power can fire a total of 30 shots. At base strength Ashnar can fire after a half second delay.

Ashnar is later upgraded by the Empire once it's power starts to be diminished by other firearms; under Athena's personal research and work Ashnar is further upgraded utilizing Eridian components, increasing it's power dramatically and eliminating the need for a charge cartridge.

Ashnar features a holographic site capable of measuring the distance and needed aim for long range blasts. Ashnar can also be further charged for a more powerful shot, useful for highly armored targets or long range targets, this however consumes far more charge and requires a somewhat lengthy charge period of several seconds.

History
The weapon was not native to either the Ban Union or Antheon States, the weapon hailing from another universe that either Ragnorak or his men have visited in the past. The weapon was offered as a reward for a black mercenary mission by Ragnorak, from which the most infamous member Masha, later to be known Athena, completed and gained. This weapon served as Athena's personal side arm for years to come, with no known wearable armor being capable of protecting against a shot, with even armored vehicles risking penetration from a fully charged blast.

The weapon greatly aided Athena in becoming widely known, and eventually selected for the General program, during the Proprietary Arm War, being capable of shattering the eyes of Enforcers and other drones.
