[Dusty Lens]

In years past I found myself wondering where the knights of the movement secured their weaponry. It seemed that they were beset on every side by enemies and without the means of assembling the sophisticated instruments of modern war. When I came to the point where I was able to see for myself how this had come to be I found the reasons very appreciable.

Our guns are, for the better part, the weapons of our fallen enemies the Bounty Hunters. Hunter weapons are designed to be the template of simplicity. Easily maintained to be repaired no matter the port of call. The knights simply found a way to take the base componentry of those weapons and modify them for our own purposes. Rad shielding stripped away to make room for additional power capacitors, power management systems and overload safeties tossed to the corners of chop shops to make way for heavier gauge energy transference conduits.

Our guns rarely retain their paneling, being twisted versions of their former selves. Taps from the burning cores of our vessels with barely a filter between those energies and the hulls of our enemies. Effective ranges are dramatically reduced from the Buckshots that served as their foundations, but the results at range are extra-ordinary.
