Thunderfire Weapons

Thunderfire weapons are specially produced tools designed for maximum damage, violating multiple Senate laws in the process. They are constructed to make use of Cores, which means that anyone caught with a Thunderfire weapon without a proper license can be jailed indefinitely or fined a minimum of five million credits. Although they violate Senate laws, in certain instances they are brought out of storage to support the Senate in times of need, but anyone seeking to possess such a device must have the proper authorization and clearance.

There are a variety of Thunderfire weapons, most of them unique. They all share one thing in common: a binary Core-based dynamo located somewhere within the weapon. This dynamo possesses a "deposit" from both a Yellow Core and a Red Core, and is used to fuel the weapon. The result is a tool that can heat up to extreme temperatures while still delivering a powerful electrical shock.

Thunderfire weapons can heat up to almost 9,500 degrees Fahrenheit, and often times the heat-bearing portion is constructed from a tungsten-iskindite alloy to prevent melting. The grip, on the other hand, is often plated with larcorium panels and managium-based gel pockets in order to keep heat from spreading back to the user.
