Nyssa's Laser Pistol

The angular laser pistol fits Nyssa's grip with precision during the Hydromel exchange. Its compact frame shows no external markings, though its lethal potential gleams in the weak light of Vanir’s room. She handles it with the ease of someone familiar with forensic tools, reinforcing her shift from political observer to decisive leader. The weapon’s measured presence contrasts with the urgency of the rebellion planning unfolding around her.
