Fusion Weapons are a type of High-Energy Weapon that fires a stream of hydrogen plasma at fusion temperatures.

Description (Specifications)

Fusion weapons channel out heated plasma at higher temperatures than plasma weaponry, heating the energy projectile to fusion temperatures.

FGMP (Fusion Gun-Man Portable)

The FGMP-14 is similar in design and function to the PGMP-13. The FGMP-14 differs only in that it contains the plasma slightly longer until a fusion reaction begins to take place The weapon is somewhat more powerful than a plasma gun, and it may only be used by individuals wearing Battle Dress.

  • The FGMP-15 incorporates a gravity field generator similar to that used on the PGMP-14 and a weapon system similar to that of the FGMP-14.
  • The FGMP-16 is an advanced, lighter-weight version of the FGMP-15 with all of its features.

Fusion Rifle

The Fusion Rifle is a highly advanced, very portable version of the earlier FGMP weapons. Fusion rifles are projected to become available somewhere at or beyond TL-17. Such technological guesswork is all conjecture.

Naval Fusion Guns

Ship-mounted versions are available starting at TL-12, being to the TL-11 naval plasma gun what the FGMP-14 is to the PGMP-13.
