Rift weapons, also known as rift projectors, are weapons powered by Aeternal Energy that open a short-lived rift directly into the Lux Aeterna. Anything that gets caught in the rift is drawn in, sometimes even being torn apart if the rift ends up opening inside them.
In order to open the rift, the weapon uses an aeternically-sensitive crystal mounted in the spot where the muzzle would be on a normal weapon. The crystal is then supercharged with Aeternal Energy, which is contained within a reinforced shell near the back of the weapon. The energy is then projected at a target, tearing open a hole in reality that lasts for as long as the energy is projected.
The effect these weapons can have is devastating, ranging from annihilating an entire squadron in an instant to collapsing a skyscraper. They are also highly effective on targeting weak points on large targets, making them great for dealing with superheavy ground units. However, as containing so much Aeternal Energy within such a small space is quite difficult, the weapon is rather rare, and, in the modern day, production has essentially ceased.
Types of Rift Weapons
Rift lances are shoulder-mounted weapons similar in appearance to a rocket launcher, the most notable difference being the crystal sticking out of the business end. While powerful, these weapons tend to exhaust their supply of Aeternal Energy rather quickly.
Rift cannons are powerful weapons usually found mounted on ground vehicles. Vehicles using these weapons often end up as high-priority targets, forcing them to eschew armor in favor of speed.
Rift devourers are massive, starship-mounted rift weapons that take an enormous amount of Aeternal Energy to fire. As such, these weapons are extremely rare, only being seen on vessels belonging to nations with high thaumic prowess. However, the firepower these weapons can provide is more than worth it, able to tear apart even battleships with ease.
