Weapons in Dark Frontiers: SG20 BLASTER

Dark Frontiers
3 min readJul 14, 2022

As settlers increasingly began to independently explore the surface and subsurface of the Moon, close quarter encounters with hostile aliens became more frequent. As more expeditions were assigned dedicated security details, demand increased for a locally produced weapon with a greater firepower than the S05 pistol. The result was the SG20 blaster “shotgun”.

Blaster weapons are notorious for being almost as dangerous to the user as they are for the intended target. The suspended plasma in the chamber is highly unstable, and if the plasma build-up and release is not carefully controlled, it can overload the containment fields, invariably leading to an explosive meltdown.

Despite this, the decision was made to strip back some of the core systems in order to improve the portability of the weapon and remove the need for large external power packs. The weakened containment field can now only hold the charge of three plasma shells, and with no automation, the shells must be inserted into the loading chamber and then pumped into the plasma chamber by hand.

Even in its slimmed down state, the SG20 is still awkward to wield, and the manual loading and priming of the plasma chamber reduces its effective rate of fire in sustained engagements. Nonetheless, the weapon remains popular among those that often encounter aliens in tight quarters, who value the quick devastation they can unleash when caught out at close and melee range.

About Dark Frontiers

“Dark Frontiers” is the newest, gamified space realm governed by a Gamestarter produced DAO. As NFT standards and values are shifting towards promoting use-cases, Dark Frontiers’ goal is to drive mainstream adoption by enhancing the usability of NFTs through staking, item ownership, and the creation of real-world value through in-game items.

Embarking on the gamified metaverse, players will pilot their own spaceship and conquer new planets, defeat oppositions, form guilds and capture new and unique NFTs that can either be built on or sold on the open markets.

The $DARK token in Dark Frontiers will cover an array of opportunities. For players interested in dominating entire sections of a universe, say, by owning a moon, or a planet, they can use this digital plot of land to earn interest on their $DARK. The token will not only be used for staking, but players can also purchase and upgrade their starship Galactica’s using $DARK. After upgrading your ship for universal domination, you are prepared to stand head-to-head with other opponents that are in your way!
