Object
Gatherers' Rigellian Phaser Rifle
A long‑barreled, rugged shoulder‑fired Rigellian phaser rifle cobbled from salvaged parts and wielded by Gatherer fighters. Coarse alloy framing, scuffed plating, crude bolted joints, a squat emitter muzzle and oversized power pack allow sustained, concentrated serrated phaser beams used for suppression and area denial during the junkyard ambush.

Significance
Function as the ambush's primary threat, confirming Gatherer hostility and ending Act One on a cliffhanger that forces the away team to abandon salvage priorities and shift to urgent combat and tactical reassessment.
