| The Magnetically contained charged plasma saber was an idea that was carried by the Lorath Fyunnen caste for some time. unfortunately, the technicalities of such a weapon proved to be unable to be overcome. The resulting weapon was either found to be unable to deliver the proper damage to a target, or if improperly executed, would result in the user being harmed far more than the target. Due to these obstacles, it has been decided that the weapon would only be fielded to armored personnel, and used with responsibility. | The Magnetically contained charged plasma saber was an idea that was carried by the [[:lorath_matriarchy|Lorath]] Fyunnen caste for some time. unfortunately, the technicalities of such a weapon proved to be unable to be overcome.

| Keeping with the incorporation of the magnetic confinement mechanism, the weapon is able to be carried inside of sensitive areas of starships and buildings while on and not pose a threat of collateral damage. When the weapon is to be used, the magnetic containment field would be deactivated, resulting in the weapon's heat and energy being released and able to interact with the target. | Keeping with the incorporation of the magnetic confinement mechanism, the weapon is able to be carried inside of sensitive areas of starships and buildings while on and not pose a threat of collateral damage.

| **Firing Mechanism: Plasma energy is channelled from a plasma storage cell or plasma generator device. The plasma is then passed through a magnetic acceleration and confinement chamber which is also within the field effect of two small subspace field emitters. Once the plasma passes out through the hilt of the weapon, the plasma is rapidly slowed and contained within a projected magnetic field which focuses the plasma into a blade-like shape. The strength of this magnetic field is strong enough to contain the heat energy released by the plasma. The heating and disruptive effects of the plasma remain confined within the interior of the magnetic field. When the field is deactivated, only the initial magnetic acceleration and confinement remains in effect upon the blade, resulting in the accelerated plasma being released in a torch like projection. | **Firing Mechanism: Plasma energy is channelled from a plasma storage cell or plasma generator device.

The heating and disruptive effects of the plasma remain confined within the interior of the magnetic field. When the magnetic field exterior contacts a target surface, the initial magnetic acceleration remains in effect, while confinement projection remains in effect only upon portions of the blade projection not in contact with a target object. Due to the magnetic containment applied, the accelerated plasma is effectively released in a torch like projection which can selectively interact with objects destructively while avoiding collateral damage. |
