Xindaryn Phase Slug Pistols are capable of utilizing a number of highly specialized rounds, almost all of which were developed during <b>The Great Crog War</b>. Not quite as rare as the pistols themselves, caches of the ammunition, which are incapable of being fired by any other type of firearm, have been known to occasionally surface. These fetch a rather lucrative price with collectors that actually possess one of the weapons, and many of the round have also been donated to a number of interstellar museums. In the case of Cat, the majority of her ammunition has been 'liberated' from such caches and in several cases, collectors. The Master Gunner on <i>The Captain's Daughter</i> has been able to craft a few special rounds of his own design for the pistol as well.<br><br> | Xindaryn Phase Slug Pistols are capable of utilizing a number of highly specialized rounds, almost all of which were developed during <b>The Great Crog War</b>.

  "I do to some degree regret on my lapse of judgment in Meriwether’s abilities; his embellishment was not quite as grand as I had initially hoped, though I do put to question how he was able to gather some information concerning my various escapades." ~Prowler, Cat Capt. The Candid Capers of Captain Cat: An Anthology,by Sir. Lucian Meriwether. (Earth, London: Knightsbridge Publishers, 2010), ii.[1] Captain James Prowler & The Destiny [i]In which Captain James Prowler loyally serves the King of England and is later parted from this service by beings from afar, only to find himself soon beginning a new privateering career to an interstellar monarch.[/i] Put Him in Bed With the Captain's Daughter In which Captain Prowler's daughter, Cat, enters the picture and begins to earn a fearsome reputation all her own. Treasure Planet The Progenitor's Compass yields a treasure beyond imagining and the Prowlers are the ones to lay claim to its riches, at least until incredible danger rears its head. Mutiny on the Destiny In which greed and lust for power overcome loyalty and the good Captain Prowler is brought low by treachery. Shipwrecked Left for dead Cat has no one to turn to but herself, and a considerable number of questions concerning her father's legacy. Pieces of Eight An adventure upon a thought to be deserted world. A daring escape. A reuniting. Dead Men Tell No Tales Cat sets out to solve the mystery of the Prowler legacy and the Progenitors.

 Cybernetic Hand: Her hand pinned beneath the crushing force of the blast door, she couldn't reach for her saber which was but centimeters from her grasp. The ax hummed with malicious energy as the Ack'alian Captain raised it on high, preparing to finish our Captain with a single killing stroke. I could barely look, but as I began to turn my eyes askance, knowing us all doomed, I saw that Cat had not yet given up. Rolling back onto her shoulders she brought both legs up and delivered a solid kick to the side of the weapon as it sung towards her neck. Sparks erupted from steel as the ax's cruel kiss skimmed across the door's surface and then sliced through her wrist before embedding itself in the deck-plating. With teeth grit she rolled free and was soon on her feet once more, saber in hand, her eyes burning with revenge. ~Meriwether, Lucian Sir. Over a Barrel from The Candid Capers of Captain Cat: An Anthology, P. 60[2] Loss of an appendage is a big deal, depending on the world you live on, or what species you happen to be. For those lacking frog DNA, it really just comes down to having access to the right technology. In Cat's case, she was fortunate enough to be able to get to a sector of space where she could be fitted with a highly function prosthetic. Though her first cybernetic replacement was rather crude, she's acquired several over the years that serve a variety of purposes.
Graviton-Saber: The air around the blade practically sang with fury as she lunged at her opponent. A wound by any blade is a nasty thing, but gravitonic weapons are a horror all their own, for the ease with which they pierce their quarry cares not if armor nor bone try and impede its path. Krel'awk's beady black eyes widened in terrible realization as the Captain's blade thrust through his chest and the gravity field tore his heart in twain. ~IBID, 61[3] Optical Overlay:
Progenitor Compass: The source of so much trouble. There are times when I'm tempted to throw the blasted thing out the nearest airlock, but the thought of it tumbling into the clutches of some less deserving, and much less prepared waister is simply too much for me to bear. No, I must bear this burden alone, figuratively, that is; still have [my crew] and soon my fleet to help with some of the heavy lifting after all. ~Cat, IBID[4] The Progenitor Compass is a curious device that somehow found its way to earth at least over four-hundred years ago. Captain James Prowler originally came into possession of the device after winning at high-stake cards with a rival. Given the choice of taking the man's ship, Captain Prowler chose to greatly wound the man's psyche instead, claiming the good luck charm that his rival swore as the reason for his success instead. The rival Captain Greenwater succumbed to a case of hungover and hit by a runaway manure cart the very next day, his luck finally catching up with him. Revitalizing Nano-Treatment: Xindaryn Phase Slug Pistol: That pistol belongs in a museum, not in the hands of the likes of you! The Xind were once an advanced and powerful force on the rim of the Milky Way Galaxy, that was until the end of the Great Crog War that happened hundreds of years ago. Some, albeit few, still remember the attempts of the Xindaryn fleets to police their sector of the galaxy and bring order to otherwise lawless rim-worlds. It was the power of this militant galactic police force that eventually drew the attention of the Crog, during the reign of Crog'Zok the Red, a powerful warlord who successfully normally divided Crog under his banner of conquest. The conflict could have ended when the Crog successfully drove the Xind off numerous worlds and proved their superiority, but the stubborn and almost zealous drive of the Xind demanded that they reclaim these sovereign, holy territories. Faced with this mighty enemy they were forced to develop new weapons to better deal with the resilient Crog. It was in this arms race that the Phase Slug Pistol was developed.
