Tala's Sidearm

A compact energy projector issued to Minyan security forces, its narrow emitter glowing faintly in the tunnel darkness. Tala grips it one-handed, her finger steady on the trigger as she fires into the chaos of the collapsing mine. The weapon hums with controlled charge before discharging a precise bolt, felling the guard with minimal collateral damage. Its lightweight frame and efficient energy draw make it ideal for close-quarters engagements where speed and lethality balance against the need for restraint.
