Description: A common firearm found in many Earth Alliance security forces, as well as authorized private civilians, the Phased Plasma Gun quickly supplanted the use of slugthrowers in all space-based installations and craft. It utilities plasma technology by firing an energized bolt of helium held within a magnetic containment field, which is propelled by an electrical charge. Designed to cause enough damage to organic tissue to quickly subdue a Human or alien, its energy dissipates quickly around hard materials, thus reducing any risk of a stray shot going through the hull of a spacecraft and causing explosive decompression. The standard PPG uses a small power pack or ‘cap’ that contains enough energy for 6 shots.
