Helios P-1 'Corona' PPC Pistol
Glitter-tier particle sidearm; the rarest class of personal weapon.
The P-1 'Corona' is Helios Foundry's particle projector pistol, a glitter-tier sidearm that represents the absolute minimum viable particle weapon system. Fitting an accelerator array into a pistol frame required Helios to push miniaturisation to its limits; the result is a weapon that fires low-energy particle bolts at short range, delivering armour-piercing capability that no beam or coil sidearm can match. The Corona's power demands are severe for its size: each shot drains a significant portion of its charge cell, and the weapon's thermal management allows only a handful of shots before requiring a cooling cycle. The Corona is not a practical combat weapon in the conventional sense; it is a status symbol, a tool for the glitter-world elite who wish to carry the most advanced personal weapon technology available outside Asset Realisation's classified programmes. Its cost reflects its rarity and the engineering achievement it represents.
