Built using cutting edge technology and experimental materials, The Nova Foundry X Series Gladius .45 ACP is their flagship sidearm. Using a sleek and functional design, the counter-balanced weapon also houses a specialized firing chamber and barrel that adds a mild energetic charge that can have an adverse effect against mechanical ( or energy based ) targets on impact.

Special Qualities:
Transduction Chamber: Converting hydrogen from the environment into transferrable energy, slug transducers supercharge projectiles as they leave the weapon. Using a tightly controlled fissile process to produce this energy, they can be quite dangerous if they are poorly maintained or damaged, but often the benefits outweigh the risks, as transduced ballistic weapons are extremely dangerous to electrical and mechanical targets, adding the [Energy (Ion)] tag to the weapons damage.
Nova Munitions: Designed to fire ammunition exclusively produced by Nova Foundry allows for experimental alloys to be used in each round. The Gladius 45x specifically uses rounds that take advantage of an alloy that has a phase-locking effect on matter that has been disentangled from corporeal space, striking it as normal.
Nova Reliability: Nova Foundry understands the dangers of deep space conflict better than most may be aware, which is why they ensure that the operatives they equip are not worrying about their weapon failing in the middle of a firefight. Once per encounter, the wielder can reroll their attack on a Natural 1, and use the second result to resolve the attack.
