Description
Conceptualized as a powerful personal defense weapon for the frontier and a short-range military sidearm, the affectionately named 'Ace of Spades' is a blaster pistol that draws on the design of the S3A Blaster Rifle used by Imperial special forces and secret police units, featuring an identical feed system that encases both the Tibanna gas canister and the battery within a single power cell which can be easily swapped out for a fresh one, once spent.

Already adopted as the primary service sidearm by the Imperial military, as well as various other planetary militia and law enforcements units within the Unknown Regions, the KC-95 is also distributed through a number of retailers around the galaxy and offered for purchase to civilian and military customers alike.

Powerful at the expense of high recoil and long-range accuracy, the KC-95 is being marketed as an all-round companion sidearm for frontiersmen, adventurers and law enforcement agencies, especially on lawless frontier planets, where a powerful sidearm that can stop a large beast in its tracks, is a necessary piece of equipment.
