Plasma ArrayA retractable coarse mesh of electromagnetically protected wire covers the wide muzzle of a plasma array; this mesh breaks apart plasma into a flurry of discrete charges. Plasma arrays are manufactured in the typical classifications for plasma weapons: red star, yellow star, white star, and blue star.Plasma WeaponsSuperheated or electromagnetically charged gas becomes ionized plasma, which plasma weapons emit in a controlled blast. Ionized plasma deals both electricity and fire damage, tearing through organic flesh and metal alike. Plasma beams can be projected, as from a gun, or maintained in a steady beam with a powerful magnetic field, as the blade of a melee weapon.
Followers of Sarenrae popularized terms for the different intensities of plasma swords based on the heat they emit. The hottest, deadliest plasma weapon is a blue star, followed in descending order by white star, yellow star, red star, and finally tactical plasma weapons.
