Charric

The charric was a Chiss ranged weapon.

Similar in appearance to a blaster, the charric fired a maser-guided particle discharge. By delivering both kinetic and thermal energy, the charric rendered both ceramic and polymer-based armor ineffective, and causing an electric shock upon contact with metal armor.

Charrics were used as both personal weapons and vehicular hard points.
