The Saurians navy has not perfected warp-technology, instead harnessing fusion from small neutron stars as engines of their interstellar fleet. This presents an unusual problem with the Prime Directive, as the Federation contact with pre-warp cultures prohibits the sharing of technology and cultural interchange. However, space-faring '''Cityships''' ferry regiments of '''Paladins''' throughout the Avalon sector. It is worth noting that Saurian military are beholden to the Emperor and the politico-religious order that gives the monarchy the power to govern Sauria. | The Saurians navy has not perfected warp-technology, instead harnessing fusion from small neutron stars as engines of their interstellar fleet.

Each Paladin carries a small shield emitter [http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sb118-discovery/message/5819] and has fashioned a hand-held radiation emitter that functions as a blade. Saurian weapons technology is highly effective in close combat, and the radiation emitter can disrupt duranium, cauterize wounds and even deflect phased-based energy. By simultaneously emitting and attracting high velocity radiation particles toward the emitter [http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sb118-discovery/message/5539], a focused beam of energy is harnessed in a melee weapon that has demonstrated an ability to effect strong casualty rates.[http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sb118-discovery/message/5852] | Each Paladin carries a small shield emitter [http://games.groups.yahoo.com/group/sb118-discovery/message/5819] and has fashioned a hand-held radiation emitter that functions as a energy blade.

Although the progression of the weapon in Saurian history may be analogous to escalation from projectile weaponry to disruptor and phased-energy weapons, there is no known Saurian blade and little is known about their pre-history. | |||
