Project SEMELE

SEMELE was an unfinished plasma rifle project, developed by Poseidon Energy.

Background
SEMELE was the original project designed to replace the original Winchester P94 plasma caster. Although it was stolen by REPCONN Aerospace, the technology and design specification used in SEMELE, specifically the Heisenberg compensation field when dealing with matter conversion, was later used to develop RobCo Industries' own model of the plasma rifle.

The first functional prototype from this project was the Q-35 matter modulator. While the Q-35 was the proof of concept the SEMELE needed, the Q-35 was unfit for actual combat use due to the durability of the material it was constructed of. By 2281, the Q-35 is still being held at REPCONN headquarters in stasis.
