The Va'ruun Starshard is a weapon in Starfield.
Characteristics[]
Manufactured by the mysterious religious House Va'ruun, the Starshard is a powerful weapon, one of the few examples of Particle Beam weaponry, combining both physical and energy damage. It is a semi-automatic handgun with a moderate magazine size and high damage per shot, outclassing the more common Novalight. As is the case with other Va'ruun weapons, the Starshard is a rare weapon which only starts appearing in the later stages of the game, but is still not a common sight even then.
