EXOHUMAN WEAPONS IN THE GAMMA AGE

Since the Peace Treaty with the Native Tribes of VOI 700 D, ExoHumans are subject to strict regulations on weapon possession. Only specific individuals, such as the Federal Sheriff, Local Sheriffs, and their Deputies, are legally permitted to carry arms. Additionally, certain civilians, like loggers and farmers in Morningstar and Hope, as well as the Federal Landlord or Landlady of the Halfway Inn, may carry Federal Stun Guns for self-defense in the wilderness.

For all others, the possession of weapons is considered “illegal possession” under Civil Code section 6/5. The Kourou, despite its official discontinuation, has become the primary currency for black-market weapon deals. Smugglers and Outlaws often trade Kourou for contraband arms, fueling underground resistance and organized crime on the Dark Side.

Arms of the Federal Sheriff and Deputies

The standard weaponry of the Federal and Local Sheriff’s Departments is carefully regulated, maintained, and centrally manufactured by the Federal Weapon Manufactory (FWM) in Morningstar. The Manufactory produces the following weapons for the Federal and Local Sheriff's Departments:

Illegal Weapons (for Exohumans)

Despite strict enforcement, numerous illegal weapons circulate among the human settlements in the Gamma Age. Many settlers secretly retain or fabricate weapons, often claiming they were lost or destroyed after the Great War. Due to limited resources, most illegal weapons are handmade or improvised, constructed from materials salvaged from the remains of the crashed spaceship Last Frontier. The most popular among these are as follows:

Improvised Weapons

In addition to conventional and improvised firearms, many settlers and gang members rely on makeshift weapons for defense. Improvised weapons can include broken bottles, stones, and other readily available items. These weapons vary in effectiveness, depending on the item used and the user’s skill.

The Legendary Laser Gun

One of the most feared rumors circulating within the Confederation is that Jane Mendoza, the infamous leader of the Jane Mendoza Gang, possesses a Laser Gun. This weapon, last used by Volunteer Army of Man during the Great War against the Natives, was officially surrendered as part of the Peace Treaty and supposedly destroyed. However, if true, this rare and immensely powerful weapon would give the gang a considerable advantage in any conflict.

Tactical Advice for Dungeon Masters

The Gamma Age is shaped by strict weapon regulations, the black market, and the lingering power of pre-war technology. The scarcity of firearms makes every weapon a valuable asset, leading to high-risk missions, smuggling operations, and law enforcement crackdowns.
