• Nobles of Null is a forum based roleplay site where sci-fi and magic collide. Here, Earth remains fractured and divided despite humanity reaching out to the stars. Worse still, the trans-human slaves of one major power have escaped, only to establish their own Empire, seething with resentment at abuses of the past. Even the discovery of aliens, though medieval in development, has failed to rally these squabbling children of Earth together with its far darker implications. Worse still, is the discovery of the impossible - magic. Practiced by the alien locals, nearly depleted and therefore rare, its reality warping abilities remains abstract and distant to the general populace. All the while, unseen in the darkness of space, forces from without threaten to press in. For those with eyes opened by insight, it is clear that an era is about to end, and that a new age will dawn.

History

After the massive leak of the Zero Point and the poor reception of it's 45 ACP model Mass and Mechanix promised to deliver on its unique sidearm for the New Austin Sherrif Rangers. The resulting research is the Starhawk, it's fully electromagnetically propelled BB's have more stopping power than traditional chemical propellants.
A Unique model for New Austin Stellar Rangers dubbed "Talon" was given to the Law enforcement which stood out from the civilian release by adding a more robust barrel design with extra housing to cover the Coils. The Coil Covers were machined for the department but later the Talon went to public market and custom coil covers became common. Sadly they offer entirely cosmetic differences and add no tactical advantage whatsoever. The coils are sealed during manufacturing and lock in when assemble making the cover more like a decorative case.

Layout

The unique cylinder can hold 24, Twenty Four 12.7mm FM BBs in a spiral that feeds forward. The cylinder does not roll out and us instead loaded through one hole. Speedloaders can fill the cylinder in under a second. The gun does use universally available parts from other appliances like its Fuse and Compacitor Array produced by Universal Appliances LLC, a UA based company birthed from a failed Ikea- General Electric Merger in 2116. Their power cells were household items to New Austin settlers. In the grip of the pistol is a rectangular prism powercell known as a UA-S12, or Universal Appliances- Size 12. This has a battery lock next to the trigger where a mag lock would typically be. An indicator led on the front end of the gun let everyone know its ammo count while a small horizontal light bar on the grip displays the battery power remaining. A colored indicator ring on the outside of the gun diagnoses problems like no battery power, blown fuse, dangerous coil damage. The Coils are hidden inside 3D Printed housing and sealed with inert gasses. They are replacable in sections to repair damage however Marines have found that you can keep stacking sections and with a bipod and body mod you can turn the Revolver into a Sniper.
All models delivered to Law Enforcement had Arboretum Organic Covers as a stock option with the GPS trackers connected to the New Austin Satellite arrays going up during its introduction.
