The Armory

10mm Magnum

Lightweight sidearm · legal civilian carry in the Alliance, Spain and Taiwan

• Highly modifiable — modifications often exceed the gun’s base price
• Light enough for dual-wielding (Covenant Vorons carry a pair)

A symbol of personal freedom among American college students.

Jade

10mm Magnum · AI-assisted custom build · Zhi-Xin Wu

Specimen of 10mm Magnum

• Neural-link targeting integrates with Xin’s glasses — intuitive aim from visual cues
• Compact mini computer beneath the barrel processes the data · runs notably hot
• Modified gradually as his skills — and his need to protect Håkon — grew

Two months’ salary for the frame. Everything after that, desperation.

Plasma Handgun

Directorate energy pistol · slow-firing · lime-green core

• Slow rate of fire · high pure-energy damage per shot
• Lime-green plasma core and projectile

One shot at a time. Each one counts.

Breacher Shotgun

Terra Alliance close-quarters shotgun · designed for tunnel warfare on Osram

• Cascade Chamber — rotating cylinder holds three ammunition types, thumb-selectable: breaching rounds, buckshot, specialized loads — no manual reload
• Recoil dampening for single-handed operation — built for zero-gravity boarding, loved by dual-wielders
• Shortened barrel with magnetic field stabilizers keeps the spread lethal · integral muzzle brake redirects blast away from the face

Standard Breachers dominate doorways.

Skuld

Heavily modified Alliance Breacher · Emmanuel Boateng’s forge · Sigrun Fjeld

Specimen of Breacher Shotgun

• Extended barrel with integrated choke: 40% tighter spread
• Effective range 25 m (standard Breacher: 15 m)
• Requires two-handed operation until the user develops sufficient strength

Standard Breachers dominate doorways. Skuld controls corridors.

Oriental Hemorrhagic

Imperium double-barreled shotgun · discontinued · black market only

• Double-barreled · excels at close range
• Inflicts bleeding damage — wounds keep bleeding after the shot
• Known bearer: Iron Roach, Slumbering Mantis Inn

The cruelest of all known shotguns.

Uranus Sonic

Sonic-burst shotgun · origin unknown · believed Nirboh

• Non-lethal “boop” configuration — knocks enemies backward with little damage
• Radioactive-coil configuration — interferes with electronics: sensors, communication devices, some armor systems temporarily disabled
• Many modifications between those two extremes

The most humane and elegant of all known shotguns. Few have ever seen one.

Gauss Rifle

Electromagnetic accelerator rifle · backbone of Xing Hong ground forces

• Ferromagnetic projectiles at devastating velocities
• Standardized ammunition · rapid magazine reloads
• Drawbacks: battlefield casing litter · ammunition weight limits extended patrols

Consistent, reliable firepower.

Thunder

Covenant-issue L85A9 bullpup · Birmingham Armory · Marcus Thorne

Specimen of Gauss Rifle

• Heavy kinetic impact — punches light armor or drops a Bone Fiend at 100 m (in theory)
• Semi-automatic · each pull requires deliberate aim
• In practice: man-sized targets at 30 m with concentrated effort

Beyond thirty meters he mostly makes noise.

Plasma Rifle

Gongon Mk IV plasma repeater · Emerald Directorate

• Full-auto capable · deadly at mid-range
• Extremely heavy — extended carry is difficult for most soldiers; Directorate soldiers like Jabari wield it comfortably

Named after the West African protector spirit.

Pulse Laser

Full-auto Alliance energy weapon · low-temperature blue beams

• Excels in vacuum, where conventional firearms struggle with heat dissipation
• Requires sustained fire to match Imperial gauss-round penetration — Vanguards compensate with volume and precision

No casings, no propellants — built for vacuum.

Anti-Gravity Bolt-Action Rifle

AGBAR · bespoke Nordic firearm · 19th-century action, 23rd-century materials

• Quantum-assisted cycling functions in zero gravity or extreme atmospheres
• Smart ammunition switches between kinetic penetrators, explosive rounds, and limited-yield plasma charges
• Iconic manual operation retained

Craftsmanship over standardization.

Proximan Entropy

Rakshasa entropy rifle · quantum-instability field

• Fires concentrated fields of quantum instability that slightly alter the target’s molecular structure
• Damage usually cannot be healed by Medi-Vap
• Easily healed by any level of Nucleus Cultivation

Medi-Vap cannot heal what it does. Cultivation can.

Phoenix SMG

Imperial submachine gun · Kunlun titanite frame · late 21st century

• Kunlun titanite: dense, recoil-absorbing — exceptional control
• Nearly twice the weight of comparable weapons — demands upper-body strength for extended use
• Rarely seen: rare and expensive materials, gun and ammunition alike

Control over portability. At twice the weight.

Huginn SMG

Terra Alliance submachine gun · polymer composite · kinetic acceleration

• Weighs less than most pistols · adequate firepower through kinetic acceleration
• Modular: barrels, stocks and fire-control systems swap without tools
• Full polymer body naturally dissolves in outer space — an environmentally friendly weapon, assuming such a concept applies

Weighs less than most pistols. Dissolves in space.

Kinetic Crossbow

Magnetic-acceleration crossbow · Griot tradition · Imperium design

• Magnetic acceleration — bolts penetrate modern armor · near-perfect accuracy at medium range
• Modular: explosive tips, tranquilizers and other bolt types
• Light and easy to learn · slow reload — poor for rapid engagements

Consistency over flashiness.

Oya

Kinetic Crossbow · teal-bronze frame, Yoruba storm patterns · Jabari Adomako

Specimen of Kinetic Crossbow

• Modular frame allows extensive modification
• Possible upgrades: sonic resonator bolts · plasma string · auto-loading magazine · psionic targeting interface · dual-fire mode
• Nobody else handles it

She carries my voice across distances when my songs cannot reach.

Psi Bow

Psionic bow · Nordic Commonwealth weapon traditions · heavy weapon

• No physical ammunition — the archer draws back Aether and shapes arrows of concentrated psionic force
• Arrow type follows discipline: Lunar = gravity-distorting bolts · Solar = healing or burning light · Eclipse = pure destruction
• Unlimited ammunition · power scales with the user

No ammunition. Only Aether.

Thermal Battleaxe

Imperial thermal weapon · two-handed standard / one-handed variant

• Thermal core superheats the edge past 300 °C — slices contemporary armor
• Integrated handle cooling — no thermal feedback; sustained combat without protective gear
• One-handed variant: compact, fast, concealable; doubles as a utility tool

Devastating power, simple operation.

Járn

Double-bladed thermal axe · Imperial ceremonial commission · Sigrun Fjeld

Specimen of Thermal Battleaxe

• Norse knotwork in Damascus-pattern steel · gold-inlaid runic blessings along the fuller
• Thermal edge cauterizes as it cuts — enemies don’t bleed out before they’ve talked
• Demands no Aether — a natural extension of eleven years of muscle

Járn carries no memories, only purpose.

Zephyrium Sword

Zephyrium-treated longsword · Zorian Covenant standard blade

• vs organic targets: Zephyrium disrupts cellular regeneration at the molecular level — Radi-Mon wounds heal far slower than their biology allows
• vs inorganic targets: nearly useless — the disruption does nothing to metal alloys or mineral composites

The Covenant’s answer to the Radi-Mon threat.

Justice

Covenant longsword, Jorvik Viking variant · New Lister Mills · Marcus Thorne

Specimen of Zephyrium Sword

• Effective against unarmored Radi-Mons and light combat armor
• Standard psionic conductivity — no special abilities
• Struggles against heavy plating

Durable, affordable, reliable. The name was Marcus’s idea.

Titanium Shield

Layered titanium shield · Covenant Stalwart signature equipment

• Layered construction dissipates kinetic energy — effective from slug-throwers to modern gauss rifles
• Melee weapons leave superficial scoring · Radi-Mon claws typically cannot penetrate
• Critical weakness: no defense against psionic attacks — Eclipse fire, Lunar gravity and Mirage illusions pass straight through

Faith shields what metal cannot.

Bulwark

Hospitaller-pattern kite shield · Solar Brothers, Jerusalem III · Marcus Thorne

Specimen of Titanium Shield

• Projects Solar barriers from the shield face — extends Marcus’s natural abilities through a larger, more stable surface; does not amplify them
• Battle damage retained: Skuggr acid pitting along the bottom edge · three parallel Bone Fiend claw gouges across the upper quadrant

Scars prove service.

Moonstone Cutlass

75 cm curved blade · former Emerald Directorate naval issue

• Critical Edge — curve and balance excel at armor gaps
• Quick Draw — light, rapid deployment
• Psionic Conductivity — the regolith allows Aether channeling

Pearl-white shimmer from lunar regolith folded into the steel.

Sankofa

Moonstone Cutlass · Directorate craftsmanship · Jabari Adomako

Specimen of Moonstone Cutlass

• Veins of blue energy pulse faintly when drawn
• Pommel battery upgraded: 8–10 powered strikes per charge (standard: 3–5) — a parting gift from the weaponsmith
• Bronze-gold guard worked with Adinkra symbols · worn leather grip

Adinkra symbols on the guard tell the story of the Griot who carried it before him.

Soma Dagger

Grown bio-crystalline blade · Rakshasa Horde and allies

• Harder than conventional steel
• Bioluminescent veins pulse faintly with the wielder’s Aether
• Cultivation: a seed-crystal in nutrient beds enriched with fusion waste, fed three drops of the intended wielder’s semen or vaginal fluid weekly for three months

Not forged. Grown — and fed.

Kage

Amethyst Soma Dagger · 30 cm blade · Fuuka Natsukawa

Specimen of Soma Dagger

• Parrying weapon and close-range strike tool
• Pierces light armor · struggles against heavy plating
• Growth patterns unique to Fuuka’s genetic signature and Mirage affinity

Insect wings and alien orchid petals — grown, not carved.

Karma Spear

Two-handed psionic spear · Imperium × Nordic Commonwealth joint design

• Spell conduit: cast through the crystallized tip — the spear is aiming instrument and focal lens (any psionic school)
• Melee and ranged spell discharge in the same motion, no weapon switching
• Standard Aether cost · no potency amplification (that is the Psi Fan’s job)

कर्म शूल (Karm Shūl) — “Spear of Action.” Built for fighters, not casters.

Kṛpā

Void-attuned Karma Spear · forged by Ivar Lindqvist & Olav · Zhi-Xin Wu

Specimen of Karma Spear

• Void spells (Pierce Beyond, Nullification) discharge through the crystallized tip — psionic reach for a fighter with Power: 1
• Cannot harm Nordlings — Ivar encoded the limit into the Zephyrium crystallization (Draugs do not count)
• Blade permanently green — Void-attuned since the bonding at Camp Yusuf

It kills the dead and spares the living. The name fits.

Glacial Hammer

Nordling warhammer · primordial Europan ice · one- and two-handed variants

• Harder than steel · retains ancient cold
• Targets frozen by repeated strikes become brittle enough to shatter completely
• Devastating against Radi-Mons — regeneration is useless once biomass is scattered as frozen debris

Only those who earned the cold may wield it.

Nucleus Sword

Psionic Blade · Aether-driven · 21st-century design

• Blade color by affinity: quantum blue Lunar · gold Solar · red Eclipse · purple Mirage · green Void
• No external battery — the wielder’s heartbeat sustains ignition
• Dormant after years of neglect; reactivate with fresh semen or breast milk poured into the cylindrical core

The invention that ended World War Three.

Baldr

Nucleus Sword · Jotunheim Institute build · Sigrun Fjeld

Specimen of Nucleus Sword

• Harmonious Resonance — serene wielder: soothing frequency calms allies and pacifies hostiles; can defuse tension and aid negotiation
• Harmonious Resonance — heightened aggression: disruptive frequency disorients enemies
• Activate: “Baldr, virkjaðu” (VIRK-yah-duh) · Sleep: “Baldr, sofðu” (SOV-thoo) — Jǫturmál

Sigrun’s ultimate weapon. Kept in her apartment as a shrine to lost love.

Imugi

Eclipse-attuned Nucleus Sword · Imperium royal variant · Prince Joon-Seok Pak

Specimen of Nucleus Sword

• Activate: “Imugi, uttiṣṭha” (oot-TISH-tha — rise) · Sleep: “Imugi, śāmya” — Devavāṇī
• Blade burns Eclipse red

Named for the serpent that must prove itself worthy of becoming a dragon.

Aušrinė

Solar-attuned Nucleus Sword · Covenant reliquary blade · no bearer approved

Specimen of Nucleus Sword

• Named for the Baltic morning star, herald of the dawn — a sister-symbol to Zori’s own name
• Blade burns Solar gold

Sealed until a worthy dawn-bearer appears.

Hongu

Void-attuned Nucleus Sword · Atayal-forged · hidden in Proxima Centauri

Specimen of Nucleus Sword

• Ignites only for Atayal Aether — lineage, or something that can stand in for it
• Blade burns Void green

Named for Hongu Utux, the Rainbow Bridge the worthy cross to reach their ancestors.

Nucleus Watch

Personal mobile device · replaced the smartphone

• Core functions: computation and custom applications · communication · bounty/kill verification · PRIMAL stat display (private to the wearer)
• Aether Resonance Monitoring — tracks biological-psionic interplay during intimacy
• Consensual encounters: male −30–69% Aether regeneration for 2–4 h post-ejaculation · female +20–69 Aether immediately, +15% regeneration for 4–6 h from semen absorption

Planetary-local natively. Interplanetary only through a licensed QEC Chakra.

Nordic Journey — Model 47

Nucleus Watch · Nordic Journey series · Sigrun Fjeld

Specimen of Nucleus Watch

• Nordic Journey series, model 47

Sigrun’s watch.

Pacific Islander — Model 886

Nucleus Watch · Pacific Islander series · Zhi-Xin Wu

Specimen of Nucleus Watch

• Pacific Islander series, model 886

Xin’s watch.

Covenant Faithful — Model 44

Nucleus Watch · Covenant Faithful series · Marcus Thorne

Specimen of Nucleus Watch

• Covenant Faithful series, model 44

Marcus’s watch.

Venus Traveler — Model 233

Nucleus Watch · Venus Traveler series · Jabari Adomako

Specimen of Nucleus Watch

• Venus Traveler series, model 233

Jabari’s watch.

Poison Dragon — Model 81

Nucleus Watch · Poison Dragon series · Fuuka Natsukawa

Specimen of Nucleus Watch

• Poison Dragon series, model 81

Fuuka’s watch.

Psi Fan

Caster’s amplifier · conceived in the Celestial Kingdom of Choson · refined by the Imperium and Japan

• Unfolded: amplifies any psionic spell
• Defensive: erects ethereal barriers that stop bullets and absorb energy attacks
• Resists conventional damage — can parry Nucleus Swords and Thermal Axes

Exorbitantly priced, highly specialized. It turns a moderate caster into a formidable opponent.

Dilinur’s Psi Fan

Psi Fan · Prefect Dilinur Altai · name not yet on record

Specimen of Psi Fan

• Dilinur’s melee instrument — AGBAR at range, the fan up close
• Amplifies the Prefect’s casting · parries blades

The Prefect snipes with an AGBAR and closes with this.

Nucleus Shield

Quantum-fiber hair clip · Proxima hunter technology · metallic clip, subtle blue accents

• Hair Function — programmable nano-fibers weave through the strands: Contract Mode draws hair into a compressed quantum state at a preset length; Release Mode restores natural length and volume · hair remains fully intact
• Optional pheromone modifier alters the wearer’s natural scent via perspiration compounds
• Soul Barrier — sleeps until sensors detect an incoming threat, then manifests barriers from the wearer’s Aether: bullets fragment, energy beams scatter through dimensional barriers existing for microseconds

A hair accessory that stops bullets — if you’re wearing little else.

Hamr

Programmable Hair Clip · Psi Lynx cover-identity kit · Sigrun Fjeld

Specimen of Nucleus Shield

• “Valkyrie” — combat half-up ponytail (Psi Lynx operations) · adds lavender to her sweat for combat focus
• “Freyja” — sleek shoulder-bob (Leased Lily appointments) · adds a faint lily scent, her signature, recognized by regular clients
• “Shield-maiden” — full tactical bun (heavy combat)

Warrior to courtesan in one touch, under three seconds.

Spirit Lantern

Rakshasa ceremonial artifact and battlefield implement · hovering psionic focus

• Hovers at the wielder’s preferred height (shoulder or head) — 360-degree spell projection with hands free
• Amplifies natural psionic abilities · advanced practitioners drive lanterns independently as mobile spell anchors
• Glow by attunement: golden Solar · silver-blue Lunar · deep purple Mirage · emerald green Void · crimson red Eclipse

The glow tells you what the wielder is.

Hotaru

Hexagonal Spirit Lantern · toxic violet · Fuuka Natsukawa

Specimen of Spirit Lantern

• Anchor point for her most powerful summoning — creatures called from Proxima Centauri emerge from portals centered on Hotaru
• Stores trace Aether from defeated opponents, or semen from men she has had sex with — not enough to boost her power, but insight into their techniques and kinks

Usually concealed within her kimono sleeve. Until it isn’t.

Echo Drum

One-handed percussion device · Griots only · worn on hip or back

• Rhythm Shield — rapid drumming creates sonic barriers that deflect projectiles for seconds
• Momentum Sync — sustained rhythms boost the Griot’s and nearby allies’ movement speed
• Disruption Beat — specific frequencies interfere with enemy Nucleus Watch targeting and Radi-Mon pack coordination

Martian titanium, synthetic membrane, psionic impulse.

Nucleus Mill

靈核礱 (Líng Hé Lóng) · Artifact Class · pocket-space transmutation vessel

• Creation — Heilgjöf, the Whole Gift: forms only when a being pours its entire life force and the last sliver of its soul for a lover at the summit of a perfect cultivation — willingly, knowingly, without remainder
• Death-in-bliss is the raw condition; consent is the fork — harvested at its peak, a being becomes a Sáðturn (mindless, sessile, weaponized); given whole, it becomes a Mill (generative and loyal)
• The Coercion Rule — worked with consent and rest, a Mill transmutes as asked; coerced (stolen catalyst, denied dormancy, an unwilling proxy) it produces ruin, at worst actively hostile to the operator · no known exceptions

Mills are not built. They are born.

Grótti

Nucleus Mill · Kraken spermatophoric sac · Sigrun Fjeld · “GROHT-tee”

Specimen of Nucleus Mill

• Storage — items fed through the orifice are membrane-wrapped into compact packets; the pocket space accepts objects far larger than the Mill (a full-length weapon; a bath’s worth of shed scales) and holds them without decay
• Transmutation — one or more ingredients + one catalyst → a one-time ultimate spell or a unique equipment · the catalyst must be a substance from Sigrun’s body, or from someone physically or emotionally intimate with her
• Feeding Ladder — 1. Offering (poured in like any ingredient) · 2. Latch (tendrils hook to the breast, orifice suckles the nipple — the “chyu chyu” sound) · 3. Deep Latch (vulval attachment; for transmutations at the edge of possibility — unused as of Volume II)

Known to the family as “Chyu-Chyu.”

Uyên Ương

鴛鴦 (“Mandarin Ducks”) · Nucleus Mill, dormant · catalogued as “the tea set of Vinh Tra”

Specimen of Nucleus Mill

• Dark porcelain glazed with a drifting starfield no catalogue has matched to any sky · small golden pearls like captured suns sleep at the pot’s floor
• The pocket space sits behind the belly of the pot
• Operation — ingredients steep in the pot; the transmutation completes only when the brew is poured into both cups and drunk together by two true companions

It pours more than it holds.

Håkon’s Coloring Book

Unique coloring book · “Book-Book” · Håkon

• Items he’s seen or learned about · people he’s met
• Visualizations of future events he sees with his “Chrono View” passive ability — and does not entirely understand yet

Things he’s seen, people he’s met — and things that haven’t happened yet.

Medi-Vap

Inhaled vaporized medication · pocket-sized cylindrical vial

• Aerosolized medication speeds metabolism — rapid healing of wounds from bullets, blades and bruises
• STD effect: effective against the diseases that once plagued humanity (syphilis, AIDS, gonorrhea)
• Side effect: infertility — regular use is strongly correlated with infertility in both sexes; the drug kills sperm and eggs

Rendered condoms obsolete. Also, quietly, a good part of humanity.

Indra-Sprite

Indonesian Aether elixir · mangosteen, salak, lychee, blue durian

• One sip gives an immediate surge of Aether — psions maintain peak power
• Replenishing and mood-enhancing
• Risk: overconsumption while Aether-drained can induce insomnia, anxiety disorders, or recurring stomach pain

A single sip. An immediate surge.

Catalyst-U

Psionic supplement capsule · nutrients found only in Uranus minerals

• Swallowed with water: boosts Aether capacity for 17 hours — more spells, calmer mood
• Swallowed: also helps a Radi-Mon stay healthy while accelerating mental development
• Crushed in the mouth with Indra-Sprite: chain reaction stimulates psionic DNA and raises Libido — amplified spell casting capable of turning the tide of combat

Usually safe. Absorption depends on how you take it.

Bodhi Agni

बोधि अग्नि · “The Fire of Enlightenment” · crimson Martian spice

• Thermal Regulation — raises core body temperature 1–2 °C for 4–6 hours; natural protection against cold environments
• Enhanced Metabolism — +15–20% metabolic rate; aids healing and recovery
• Psionic Conductivity — some users report slightly enhanced Aether flow (possibly psychosomatic)

Sweet like cinnamon, then a slow-building heat that warms rather than burns.

Håkon’s Lotion

Legendary lotion · replenishable · Proxima-native ingredients · refills like a White Phial

• Replenishable — used to wash Håkon
• Enhanced with new ingredients as Xin travels the Seven Realms — every one collected on journeys Håkon takes with his found family

Made just for Håkon.

Zephyrium

Crystalline mineral · cold-fusion catalyst · cornerstone of interstellar energy

• Facilitates cold fusion — the basis of interstellar energy generation
• Threaded into alloys: Tether Arches, Covenant shield cores, the Karma Spear’s crystallized tip
• Consumed by every Tether Arch activation, in proportion to transit mass

Where the deposits are, the powers are.

Aether

Internal psionic energy · depletes with every spell

• Carriers: semen, menstrual blood, saliva, breast milk, vaginal mucus
• Feminine and masculine Aether can transform and replenish each other
• Balance Principle — leaning too heavily toward masculine or feminine energy reduces efficiency

Complete abstinence and promiscuity both waste it.

Indra Fountain

Nirboh structure · restores Aether completely · never runs dry

• The luminous liquid restores Aether completely upon consumption
• All fountains share two properties: deep blue luminescence, and they never run dry
• Resist damage · repair themselves when harmed · cease functioning entirely if removed from their original locations

Humanity’s first encounter with Nirboh technology.

Silk Spring

अमृत स्रोत (Amṛta Srota) · “Amrita Spring” · geothermal Nirboh derivative

• Healing — bathe until you begin to sweat (15–20 min): trace calcium-silicate compounds enter dilated pores and bond with damaged tissue; recovery +222% over conventional treatment
• The sweating requirement is absolute — brief immersion gives only cosmetic benefits that fade within 48 hours
• Resonance — partners with an established romantic bond bathing together: 12–18 h of increased lubrication and elasticity, elevated semen volume, faster metabolism, heightened libido · strangers and solo bathers get healing only

Recovery rates 222% over conventional treatment — if you stay in long enough to sweat.

QEC Chakra

Quantum-entanglement communication bank · vault-sized · the arteries of interplanetary information

• Communication through a Chakra is instantaneous regardless of distance
• Counted per world — no power shares one it can afford to keep
• Within a planet, information flows freely; between planets, every message funnels through a Chakra and its operator

Whoever operates it can delay, filter, tax, or silence.

Tether Arch

टेदर आर्क (Tedar Aark) · “Star Gate” · Nirboh quantum transportation · strategic asset

• Paired Endpoints — both origin and destination require functional Arches; the system cannot create an exit where no Arch exists
• Paired Arches create a stable corridor through folded space between endpoints regardless of distance
• Zephyrium Reserves — each activation consumes Zephyrium in proportion to transit mass: personnel are standard usage; something Genbu-sized consumes a month’s operational budget

Humans can wake them. Humans cannot build them.
