!SCA: Self-Charged Automatic Blaster The standard plasmatic weapon of the [Starship Marines]. It is not very effective in an atmosphere because an atmosphere tends to degrade the plasma and dissipate its energy very quickly - significantly reducing effective range. In a vacuum the energy will degrade suit systems and cause heat damage very effectively without ricochet risks or risking damaging hull integrity. !!Main types **SCA I** - hand held weapon - about the size of a large pistol. Standard issue for combat robots. Can be used by individuals in spacesuits, or unarmoured personnel. **SCA II** - hand held SCA I weapon used in conjunction with space armour. The armour's electronics and power supply gives the SCA II greater range and effectiveness. **SCA III** - A heavy version of the SCA II that can overload its power supply to create a slightly increased 'punch'. **SCA IV** - a large weapon that requires space armour and an additional power pack. This creates a large plasmatic blast (a bit like a flamethrower). However the technology is unreliable and the weapon itself is prone to catastrophic containment failures.
