Description
The plasma rifle was developed by the Capellan Confederation. Based upon their man-portable version, the Confederation was able to create what is essentially a massive flamer.
Plasma weapons used the power of the fusion engine or power amplifiers to power an electromagnetic accelerator to a stream, pulse, or toroid of plasma (i.e. very hot, energetic, and excited matter). The plasma was created by using a lasing process to flash cartridges of plastic foam into white-hot projectiles that caused thermal, as well as physical, damage. Because this foam ammo was inert, it could not explode even if destroyed.[2]
The primary damage mechanism of these was thermal transfer; the weapon caused serious burns, and often immediate death of living creatures, melting or evaporating other materials. The plasma weapons may also have had a significant kinetic energy component, wherein ionized material was projected with sufficient momentum to cause secondary impact damage, in addition to causing high thermal damage.
In addition to dealing scatter damage, the plasma rifle inflicted either 1-6 points of heat or an extra 2-12 points of damage, depending on the unit it struck:
| Unit | Heat | Additional Damage |
| Unarmored infantry | N/A | 2D6 |
| Mechanized infantry | N/A | 2D6 |
| Battle armor | N/A | 2D6 |

| ProtoMech | N/A | 2D6 |
| Vehicle | N/A | 2D6 |
| Individual infantry | N/A | 5E/10CS |
