Sidrat Guards' Weapons

Sidrat-spawned guards brandish these weapons—blasters or guns suited to the Sidrat landing bay and barn environments—during critical moments of the alliance's collapse and Harper's assassination. In the landing bay, security forces seize the companions' arms, enforcing submission through drawn barrels and immediate threats. In the barn, guards discharge these weapons at Harper, killing him instantly without visible wounds or sound. Resistance fighters subdue the guards, and Russell attempts to use one but finds it inert without SIDRAT proximity. Jamie explains the devices require the SIDRAT's presence to activate, highlighting their alien technology and lethal precision.
