Background

Manufacturer: Legendary forge.
Historical record:
This more than strange Katana was forged by the Holy Forge in a very limited number. Each saber is unique and has a mood that is proper to it. A mysterious eye lies on the weapon, and seems to be alive. Very rare studies about it have shown that it has an organic nature, without being able to say more about it.
The first manufacture was done so long ago no one can remember; the Secreta is the Forge's main client for this weapon. Some rumors say that each Facere Mortis would be made out of Metastreumonic creatures' chunks... however, nobody has been able to prove that.

Manufacturer: Legendary forge.
Historical record:
This long two-handed sword is made exclusively by the Holy Forge, even if it has been often reproduced by other weapon-manufacturers since then. A distortion field created by a generator commonly placed on the handler travels through the blade: the energy is driven to the blade by small conductors sometimes located inside the weapon, and sometimes outside. When the blade touches something, and if the owner activates it, the distortion field's shock waves pass through the blade in order to penetrate and tear the target apart.
This weapon is often used as a standard close-combat weapon for federal officers, however it is also very popular among looter chiefs. The Secreta uses it especially during ceremonies, even though many soldiers of E.Y.E enjoy it for its efficiency in combat. The only let-down of this powerful sword is its loud noise and the light the distortion field produces when the blade hits its target.

Manufacturer: Legendary forge.
Historical record:
With this weapon, the Forge created an engine of incomparable devastation power and strength. The first hammer was created so long ago no one can remember... At the beginning, this weapon used some kind of nuclear fusion technology, but very soon distortion versions appeared. Only a few other weapon-manufacturers ever managed to reproduce it, and some rare copies are above the level of the originals. Its name only is sufficient to make any warrior shudder. This massive and heavy hammer integrates a powerful distortion engine; when the hammer hits its target, a powerful explosion is freed from the weapon, grinding its target to mere dust.
Only a very powerful and experimented warrior can use this weapon, because of its weight and the powerful explosion it generates on impact. This weapon is often used by heavy federal troops and also by warriors from E.Y.E.

Manufacturer: FKO.
Historical record:
The Black Crow was first conceived to counter Croon's heavy pistols. This weapon, coming from the Dark Ages, has been used by mercenaries, bandits, rebels and bounty-hunters alike for a long time. Its firepower and fast rate of fire let it quickly reach the level of other weapons of the same category. Its low production count makes it a very rare and coveted weapon. Before its reintroduction in the conflict against the Metastreumonic force, this weapon was only used by experts.
The Black Crow is currently being used by federal special forces and shock troops, but also by warriors of E.Y.E, without counting organized criminal groups such as the Syndicate, the Black Dragons or the Camarilla... Croon, however, is pressuring the federation to prohibit the use of all weapons designed by FKO.

Manufacturer: Croon
Historical record:
This automatic pistol was still being used by official forces such as private corporate armies even before its large-scale reintroduction. Massively built during the Dark Ages, this weapon, with an infernal rate of fire, has proven itself to be an excellent and reliable handgun. Its low recoil, its lightness and its large magazine seduced many warriors from all ages.
The BK13 is currently the standard pistol used by the federal military and police forces, as the Metastreumonic force terrorizes the whole federal territory. Many criminals still like this weapon, that's why you generally meet its bullets each time you meet punks and other looters...

Manufacturer: Legendary Force
Historical record:
This legendary pistol, which origins were lost, is the more powerful pistol ever made. Ancient texts show that it has existed since the Dark Ages. Only some lucky men had the chance to use this weapon. The Holy Forge manufactures only a few quantity of this marvelous gem. Only some special forces officers and shock troops are using this powerful weapon. E.Y.E has its own stock, but it is still very limited.
A tale deals with a man, one day, lost in the forest, who was attacked by a very angry and wounded bear. The man managed to kill the animal with his bare hands. A Techno-Monk of the Holy Forge passed-by and saw the scene. Some days later, the man woke up and found a very strange and heavy pistol beside him; a pistol that could disembowel a bear with a single bullet, and that could even kill several aligned bears in a single shot.
The fame of this weapon comes mainly from its unequaled power as a pistol, but also from its unbelievable accuracy. Its recoil, however, is terrific.

Manufacturer: Croon
Historical record:
Croon tried to create an equivalent of the 444 Bear Killer with this six-bullet cylinder pistol, created at the beginning of the Technological Middle Ages. It has been a failure, but the result is a very easy-to-use weapon, with a good fire power, a great accuracy and a lower recoil compared to the 444.
At the time of its creation, the 222 was especially used by police officers and also by some criminals. It currently equips the federal police along with the BK13. Some military officers also use this pistol as their secondary weapon; the last-chance weapon. It could be able to kill a Carnophage with a single bullet.

Manufacturer: Croon
Historical record:
This sub-machine gun bearing the signature of Croon, and built during the Dark Ages, is well known for its incredible rate of fire for a weapon belonging to its category. With its three rotating barrels, it creates a real hard rain of high-velocity projectiles. Even though its rate of fire and recoil relationship seems to be very good, it's actually not the case for its accuracy. Its secondary firing mode is still a fable for everyone: the well-known high-speed doubling the rate of fire, but also damaging the weapon at an alarming rate.
Since its creation, this weapon has equipped the main private corporate armies, but also every rebel and terrorist groups, without counting organized criminal groups such as the Syndicate, the Black Dragons or the Camarilla... After its recent reintroduction, this weapon could be seen in the hands of the federal police, but also in the hands of some looter groups. It has been said that some federal special forces soldiers also deeply love this weapon.

Manufacturer: Vindico
Historical record:
When this submachine gun was launched, during the Dark Ages, Vindico created the surprise by being better than Croon on its own familiar ground. The Motra combines power, thanks to its high caliber, and accuracy. The weapon is also very compact. This weapon has known a large success among of the security services and among Special Forces. Now it is used by federal Special Forces, and also by the federal police. Many terrorists and rebels groups use it for their missions

Manufacturer: SLM
Historical record:
SLM, the now sadly-defunct manufacturer of the Dark Ages, made a legendary hunting shotgun; the Bourru, and then a version with a shorter butt and barrel; the Betty Boom. This shotgun has two barrels shooting two caliber 12 cartridge shells. It is often assimilated to the "little criminal" weapon, even if the Betty Boom proved to be an excellent emergency weapon.
This weapon has still not been officially reintroduced in the ranks of the federation yet, but some federal fighters unofficially use it. It is more common among looter groups. Some E.Y.E priests have developed a martial art dedicated to the use of the Betty Boom.

Manufacturer: SLM
Historical record:
Few years before SLM's bankrupt and closure during the Dark Ages, they created the Depezador, a very powerful shotgun. This shotgun has, without a doubt, and incredible fire power and a destructive efficiency. It was very appreciated by all kinds of security forces during its time. The Depezador also found its clients in criminal groups as well as in assault forces.
Currently, it has been used by federal forces and also by E.Y.E. Its high-capacity ammo clip has a large role in this choice.

Manufacturer: SLM
Historical record:
SLM, having the supremacy in the shotgun market during the Dark Ages, had some strong rivals. Taking advantage from SLM's sudden bankrupt and its soon-to-come closure, Vindico created the Caw Hammer; a highly-reliable automatic shotgun with an incredible fire power, in an attempt to take over SLM's reputation. This automatic 10-caliber made itself a bloody name during the Dark Ages. It has a great rate of fire, but a small magazine.
Like every other shotgun built during this period, its life-span was rather short despite its fame. However, since the Metastreumonic force began to strike, it found a new existence thanks to the federation, and is also used in some looter groups. Its use is more marginal among E.Y.E.

Manufacturer: Vindico
Historical record:
The B.O.S.C.O had its time of glory among the assassins guilds during the Dark Ages, thanks to its medium rate of fire, its powerful rounds and its very efficient silencer. As the plasma-induced weapons began to rise, the B.O.S.C.O became outdated and slowly abandoned, even if some assassins still enjoyed its maneuverability and continued to use it.
Its great accuracy and efficiency in medium to long-ranged assassination operations was never topped, and since the Metastreumonic force as well as the looters began to attack several worlds again, the federal special forces have been equipped with this silent and efficient killer.

Manufacturer: Vindico
Historical record:
The TRK was created with the purpose of combining a powerful sniper rifle and a plating-piercing weapon. These objectives have been reached with great success, as the TRK was probably the most powerful firearm the Dark Ages ever known. Its low rate of fire didn't discourage long-distance-firing amateurs, because of its great power and its very high accuracy. Some assassins currently use it, but it is more common to find it among heavy federal shock troops, as their reinforced armor can absorb the high recoil with ease.

Manufacturer: Legendary Force
Historical record:
This strange weapon, with its origins unknown, is a very rare weapon; almost as rare as the 444 Bear Killer. The 444 would be the pistol version of the Hunting Machine. The name was coined by a bounty-hunter during the Dark Ages who made himself a reputation by killing an incredible number of pursued with this rifle.

Manufacturer: FKO
Historical record:
Powerful, low cost and extreme reliability are the words used by the amateurs of this legendary rifle from the Dark Ages. This weapon was used in these times by all armed forces without money; rebels, terrorists, and also many criminal groups. It was also paradoxically used by many special forces' members during that era. The KA93 is a robust and efficient weapon despite its weight, its size and its heavy recoil that would demotivate many fighters. It is still a very common weapon, used by the federal forces even though Croon and Vindico are trying to make the federation abandon this weapon in profit of theirs.

Manufacturer: FKO
Historical record:
This very old weapon at the first glance could seem to be strange, why re-introduce a semi automatic rifle with medium power? Simply because it's one of the most reliable weapons ever created during the Dark Ages, used in more than one hundred conflicts. It has never shown a sign of weakness, with an honest accuracy and a low recoil, this is a weapon very inexpensive and terribly efficient. The federation equips its police with this old rifle to Croon's and Vindico's great displeasure.

Manufacturer: Tyroll
Historical record:
The S6000 was Tyroll's answer to the KA93 during the Dark Ages. The first particularity of this assault rifle is its very small caliber, relying more on the impact speed rather than on the size of the projectiles. The S6000 is the assault rifle with the highest rate of fire of its category, having a very low recoil and a surgical accuracy.
The detractors of the S6000 prefer the KA93 for its power. The S6000 was quickly forgotten but is now being reintroduced, especially in federal special forces.

Manufacturer: Vindico
Historical record:
"They have created a monster !", these were the words of the patriarch and boss of the regretted Mega Corporation AyAette when Vindico, around the beginning of the Technological Middle Age, took the head office of the company by force, testing at the same time this powerful assault canon. This extremely potent weapon proved to be usable even by an un-motorized infantry unit. It was the first time a weapon with such a caliber and power was used that way. Several conflicts confirmed the utter power of this weapon, until the day when the issue n°21 in the Ion-Portable Canons was fixed, making this weapon obsolete as the plasma canons performance was rejuvenated. Nevertheless, during these confused times, the Excidium makes an explosive come-back, demonstrating why it is nicknamed the "Monster".

Manufacturer: FKO
Historical record:
Was it because Croon and its auto-canon were bothering FKO that they decided to create the mighty Sulfatum during the Dark Ages? This weapon, with its inconceivable rate of fire, makes bullets fly with an infernal rhythm, and with the recoil that comes with it. This kind of weapons could only be found on top of vehicles in the past, before the Sulfatum was made especially for infantry purposes.
Indoubtedly worthy of its name "Minigun", this weapon is now a real fashion among federal shock troops. Its three rotating barrels and its particular noise gave it a nice little nickname, the "Sander Triangle".

Manufacturer: Legendary Force
Historical record:
As often with the Forge, no historic elements could have been retrieved concerning the date of creation of this automatic grenade launcher. We simply know that it has been massively used during bloody conflicts making the Dark Ages, outdoing Vindico's models, which had, at that time, the supremacy for that kind of weapons.
The superiority of this weapon is largely based on its rate of fire, the power of its shells, and also the accuracy of its shots, even with indirect shots. Because of its weight and power, it is mainly found among federal shock troops.
