'''Psi Weapons''' are devices designed to attack, disrupt, or corrupt psionic systems and biological neural networks through manipulation of the [[Psi Field]]. They represent the offensive threat that [[Psionic Defenses]], [[Defense Discs]], [[Psi Stabilizers]], and all other defensive [[Psi Devices]] are engineered to counter.


== Threat Types ==
The term "Psi Weapons" typically refers to '''hostile''' psionic weapons wielded by adversaries — distinct from [[Clan Tho'ra|Tho'ra]] offensive devices like [[Psi Blades]] which are combat tools rather than terror weapons.


=== Neural Disruption ===
== Weapon Classification ==
Psi Weapons can target [[Neural Network Hardware]] directly — scrambling the mesh network that [[PsiSys]] runs on. This is the primary threat that [[Defense Discs]] are designed to block.


=== Mental Attack ===
{| class="wikitable" style="width:100%;"
Attacks targeting the biological nervous system of the wearer inducing confusion, pain, fear, or unconsciousness. Countered by [[Psionic Defenses]] aura generation and [[HelmKit]] magnetogravitic bubble.

Related Psi Devices (master catalog), Psi Blades (Tho'ra offensive)

Psi Weapons are devices designed to attack, disrupt, or corrupt psionic systems and biological neural networks through manipulation of the Psi Field. They represent the offensive threat that Psionic Defenses, Defense Discs, Psi Stabilizers, and all other defensive Psi Devices are engineered to counter.

The term "Psi Weapons" typically refers to hostile psionic weapons wielded by adversaries — distinct from Tho'ra offensive devices like Psi Blades which are combat tools rather than terror weapons.
