Squibs are among the galaxy’s foremost experts on tractor-beam technology, having adapted tractor beams to function as effective weapons. The tensor rifle, which fires invisible bursts of compressed tractor beams at the target, inflicts extensive cell disruption upon living targets hit with successive blasts. The weapon is also noted for being incredibly loud, and more than a few Squibs have used tensor rifles to get the undivided attention of beings who would otherwise dismiss them.
A character using this weapon makes an attack roll against the target’s Fortitude Defense. If the attack is successful, the target moves −1 step on the condition track, regardless of the actual damage roll. Squibs treat Squib tensor rifles as rifles, rather than as exotic weapons.
A Squib tensor rifle is treated as a rifle for the purpose of determining range, and it requires a power pack to operate. After 15 shots, the power pack must be replaced.
