## About The Pull Request Moves the deep lore proc to the parent for guns. Adds deep lore to some of the pistols. Rewrites the deep lore for the stun baton and contractor baton. Repaths the Liberator pistol to a more sensible path name. Rechambers the Regal Condor to .45, because I was today years old when I learned that the Tiger Cooperative are _[radical Christian extremists](https://github.com/tgstation/common_core/blob/cf1edb9f770e7d3c38ca894e951ab5ac50395a47/Governments%20and%20Organisations/Corporations/The%20Syndicate/The%20Syndicate.md?plain=1#L73)_. I just thought they were nutso about changelings, I didn't know they also think they're God's ubermensch. Anyway, that freak who started the cult would chamber their relic pistol in .45 and you know it. ## Why It's Good For The Game I love dumping large amounts of text into the code base that will rarely, if ever, be noticed by the player. It's also the means by which I can summon forth my good friend Hatterhat to contribute to this codebase. Like a carrot on a stick. If I post enough, one day he'll PR flashforge mines like he promised me.

|
Invented in the think-tank laboratories of Nanotrasen's weapon development team towards the end of the 24th century, the Type 1 found \

itself adopted broadly by various factions and military entities vying for control over the frontier once it hit the market. One \

hallmark of those who stood successful in these conflicts was the adoption of the Type 1 as a standard infantry \

|
weapon. The logistics required to maintain the operational peak of the HDS-1 allowed most quartermasters to merely dump a half \

dozen of the weapons into the hands of bloodythirsty marines, knowing full well the weapons were rugged enough to survive \
|
|
most anything thrown at them, only needing a recharging station with a power supply to become operational again once they ran empty.<br>\

'laser gun', the Type 3 is usually what comes to mind.<br>\

<br>\

When Nanotrasen announced its replacement, the Type 4, skeptics were quick to pan the weapon, claiming that it lacked several notable \

features that users of the Type 3 had enjoyed for years. As it turns out, most of those critics would end up vindicated after word of \

The success of the Type 3 resulted in shareholders urging marketing to bring out the 'next best thing' in energy-based weaponry. \

However, there were some concerns raised amongst researchers as to the 'moral implications' \

News outlets and tabloids alike railed against the company for creating what was now being called the 'hellfire' laser gun. In response, most \
|
|
legal bodies rushed to ban the firearm from sales within their region of space, and the weapon became infamous for its unethical means of ending \
|
|
sentient life. Laws were passed to ensure power regulators were installed in all future energy-based weaponry sold by Nanotrasen. Nanotrasen quickly \
|
|
discontinued the Type 4 in response, and it never saw production from that day forth. However, retrofit kits still exist \
|
|
on the black market and in some of Nanotrasen's own warehouses. While, legally, it is unlawful to sell and possess a Type 4, Nanotrasen itself \
|
|
does not regulate possession of the firearm aboard its own stations, nor does any legal body intend on preventing them from utilizing it in defense \
|
|
of its own assets." \

|
|
clients, primarily composed of wealthy starship captains, politicians, and military leaders looking to demonstrate prestige before \
|
|
the common folk.<br>\
|
|
<br>\
|
|
The Type 4 was a commercial failure, but this particular variant earned its own infamy, linked to narratives of crazed \
|
|
despots using it to put down political rivals and dissidents, as well as tales of mad generals marching ahead of their \
|
|
forces, this weapon brandished and running hot in an outstretched arm, pointed towards any moving target they could find on the \
|
|
battlefield.<br>\
|
|
<br>\
|
|
Copies of this firearm are now prohibited within TerraGov space, and any captured are quickly decommissioned.\
|
|
This is largely why Nanotrasen <b>insists</b> that any examples held by ranking officers be kept under lock and key. \
|
|
All records of the schematics surrounding this variant of the Type 4 were seized and destroyed, and the creator behind \
|
|
it was detained in a maximum security TerraGov sanitorium. When they found her again, she appeared to have smeared the walls in her \
|
|
own blood, claiming that 'She' was coming, and that she had paid dearly for the knowledge of how to make the weapon.<br>\
|
|
<br>\
|
|
Even the microfusion breeder cell housed inside the weapon is practically a lost technology, and Nanotrasen have been unable \
|
|
to reverse engineer the devices exact means of functionality.<br>\
|
|
<br>\
|
|
The Syndicate are obviously just as interested in exactly how this weapon is capable of self-perpetuation, hence why the collective \
|
|
seem hell-bent on capturing them whenever possible. Maybe keep this somewhere safe. Or don't." \

development of man-portable directed energy weaponry.<br>\
|
|
<br>\
|
|
Very little is known about the Type 6, as it is a relatively new experimental weapon only accessible to Nanotrasen security forces. \
|
|
Somehow, Nanotrasen has found a means to 'slip' the energy beams produced by the Type 6 through unintended targets, only impacting \
|
|
once it has made contact with a pre-designated target by the weapon's user. It appears to be unable to slip past organic matter reliably, \
|
|
which hampers its potential for eliminating friendly-fire. However, inorganic targets are left unscathed unless the weapon is directed towards \
|
|
firing upon the object. This makes the weapon exceptional for asset recovery, defense of entrenched positions, and assaults on defensive structures. <br>\
|
|
<br>\
|
|
Nanotrasen claims that this phenomenon is achieved 'through the power of X-rays'. Most critics have highlighted that this is total nonsense. Some claim \
|
|
that Nanotrasen has discovered a yet-unknown state of matter that the company is exploiting for weapons development and manufacturing. The most \
|
|
conspiratorially minded of Nanotrasen's critics have even gone as far as to claim it is 'proof of ectoplasm as the sixth element,' \
|
|
perhaps even allowing the weapon to operate through supernatural means: perhaps even powered by the 'spirits of the damned'.<br>\
|
|
<br>\
|
|
Whatever the truth may be, the weapon seems to function as advertized, and is even more energy efficient than the Type 5. Nanotrasen \
|
|
expects full commercial rollout sometime in the next quarter." \

amongst TGMC troopers) was a shaky first step into automatic directed energy weaponry. <br>\
|
|
<br>\
|
|
Intended for use in special operations, particularly in the hands of orbital drop shock troopers, the Type 5/R was foreseen to be an excellent \
|
|
addition to Nanotrasen's arsenal of offerings to military forces across occupied space. However, field performance proved grim.<br>\
|
|
<br>\
|
|
The advantages of directed energy weapons is the lightweight impacts felt on the supply chain for logistical officers and quartermasters due to the \
|
|
only necessary upkeep for the weapons being a consistent power supply, either established or brought to the front, and the occassional cleaning.<br>\
|
|
<br>\
|
|
This, however, is not a benefit that soldiers operating behind enemy lines or during tactical deployments are capable of exploiting. As a result, \
|
|
operators often chafed against the limited ammunition supply compared to conventional ballistic firearms, and the weapon quickly was abandoned by \
|
|
most special forces units.<br>\
|
|
<br>\
|
|
Instead, the weapon found favour in the hands of private security teams, who enjoyed the volume of fire it provided, while maintaining \
|
|
exceptional accuracy even at long ranges, along with being compact enough to allow a high degree of discretion compared to a full sized rifle. \
|
|
The weapon is also often utilized by rim pirates and marauders, giving the weapon something of an ill reputation." \
