By the way I came up for an explanation as to why the Vanara use electromagnetically accelerated kinetics as opposed to the plasma everyone else seems to prefer. For one electromagnetically accelerated kinetics are just as effective(when your pistol fire depleted uranium or tungsten alloy bullets at mach 5 you have some serious fire power). But also because the Vanara homeworld of Alastor is not only really cold, but has a heat absorbing gas in the atmosphere. As heat would be a plasma weapons primary form of damage, the gas absorbs the heat rendering the plasma ineffective so plasma weapons would not have been developed on Alastor.

Not really important, but I thought it would be interesting.
