Rebel-Confiscated Federation Sidearms
A matched pair of Federation-issue pulse pistols seized from sentries during the corridor confrontation. The weapons remain holstered but are wrenched free by rebels when a guard resists, their compact polymer frames gleaming under the dim corridor lighting. Gharman confiscates them without discharging a shot, underscoring the rebels' disciplined restraint despite the escalating violence. Their power packs are visibly depleted from prior engagements, hinting at Davros' loyalists' overconfidence in their control of resources.

Purpose
Standard-issue sidearm for Federation security forces, designed for close-quarters combat and crowd control. Typically used to subdue threats with directed energy pulses rather than lethal force, though capable of lethal deployment.
Significance
These weapons represent the tangible shift from covert resistance to open confrontation. Their capture shifts the rebels' strategic advantage from moral superiority to material leverage, directly enabling their push into the armory and subsequent confrontation with Davros. The rebels' refusal to use them unnecessarily cements their moral high ground amid escalating aggression.
