Tech Stop

Tech Stop

General Term describing a series of weapons and weapon systems used by the United Stars Military. Tech Stop Weapons are for the most part legal to be owned by civilians. But they still need to be licensed as they are potentially lethal to Centmacs (X101's) and No Corps.[1] All Tech Stop weapons rely on Electromagnetic Pulses. (EMP)

The latest series of Tech Stop Weapons comes from DeNoir Industries where the Pulse of an atomic explosion is amplified and focused in a tight beam. Tech Stop Weapons come in hand held guns, grenades, bombs, mines, rifles and large ship mounted projectors. Tech Stop beams are generally useless against energy shielded targets, and are not harmful to most living biological organisms. However the Mag Pulse Knife Series of DeNoir put so much magnetic energy into a very small area that it can overwhelm shields.

Strong Tech Stop can permanently damage and thus kill a X101. Strong focused Tech Stop can scramble the electromagnetic controls of a Non Corp and destroy its Ego center and thus kill a Non corp.
