DESCRIPTION​

Manufactured on Charubah, a Hapes Consortium colony world in the Hapes Cluster that is technology-oriented. The Gun of Command is very unusual weapon that is rarely sighted outside the Transitory Mists if ever.

The Gun of Command is almost like a stun blaster but not quite. The Gun of Command when fired, launches blaster bolts that release electromagnetic wave field which when they connect to a victim, disables a persons thought processes which leaves them vulnerable to suggestions. They will not be able to distinguish between their own thoughts and this weapon's wielder. The bolts have to hit the target's torso or head to take effect. Shots to other areas on the body do not have any effect. Same as stun bolts, the blasts from this weapon are attenuated by armor.

Once the target is fully under the effects of the Gun of Command, they will stand around aimlessly, then afterwards the victim will follow any simple commands given to them.

The mind-blanking of the Gun of Command isn't permanent, and full recovery takes the same amount of time as recovering from stun bolts, meaning the effects are not permanent. People with strong enough willpower may be able to resist the mind-control effects of the weapon, but will find themselves stunned as if they were hit with normal stun bolts.

Those under the effects of the gun of commands are not capable of higher thinking. They can not recall information when asked of and will move shambling and slowly. Making the Gun of Command ineffectual with getting targets to leak information, not so great at 'converting' enemies to fight for them or to commit espionage for them .etc

These weapons are not common and only authorized users in addition to the Queen Mother are authorized to use or possess Guns of Command. Notably In the Hapes Consortium when a male is sentenced to death, one commonly used execution entails an executioner shooting the condemned with the Gun of Command, giving him a blaster, and then ordering him to kill himself.

LEGALITY​

Highly illegal on civilized jurisdictions outside the Hapes Consortium, although these uncommon weapons look like regular blasters and can be mistaken for them. Also these weapons are proprietary property of the Hapes Consortium. Only select Hapes Consortium persons may use or possess these, and highly illegal for anyone else.

INTENT​

To import this interesting and potentially fun weapon from Legends. For clarification, the 'Command' effect follows the Stun Rules.

RESTRICTIONS​

Cannot be used on NPCs for information gathering or espionage purposes. Also the 'Command' effect can't be applied to other Player Characters without their permission, they will be stunned and knocked out instead.
