Imperial Prototype EX-A1
Mandalorian fighters of the Tribe had always used disruptor rifles to maximum effect. Their accuracy and deadliness was famed and feared throughout the galaxy.
After he came to power, and rebellions and insurrections broke out, the Emperor wanted to use that fear for his own purposes.
Although outlawed, Palpatine tasked the Imperial Department of Research and Development with the development of a smaller version of the infamous disruptor rifles. These were to go to elite jet troopers as the Emperor saw them as the best tools to cow unruly populaces in dense urban settings.
Development of the first prototype, EX-A1, took a long time as it proved difficult to miniaturise the internals of Mandalorian disruptor rifles. Getting samples of those in the first place was a task all of it's own since Mandalorian fighters never parted willingly with them.
Developing and building the prototype took so long that the Emperor died on Endor before it was finished. Thus there now exists only one EX-A1 and it never entered Imperial service. It's current wielder or whereabouts are unknown.
Done in PMG 0.6.
