C-13 rifles were long ion rifles created by the Rakatan during the Second Galactic Civil War and were used extensively against the Mandalorian clans. The rifle fired a low-density ion beam that was very easy to use from long-range. The weapon also came with a scope attachment for use as a sniper rifle. After the wielder pulled the trigger a small loaded plasma cartridge heated up a gas tank in the back of the rifle. Then, a small bit of the energized gas made its way into a negative-flux module, which reversed the atoms in the gas into pure negative ions. After this, the ionized gas made its way into a positive-flux chamber that filled it with positive energy particles, thus forcing the negative ions out at a high capacity. After this, the heavily charged beam went through an electrical co
