Electromagnetic Pulse Grenade EPG-5 'Deadstop'
The EPG-5 is a precision electromagnetic pulse device built around a flux compression generator — a one-shot coil system that converts the energy of a compact explosive charge into a directed electromagnetic burst. Unlike broad-spectrum EMP devices, the Deadstop uses a tunable frequency array to target specific electromagnetic signatures, allowing operators to selectively disable cybernetic implants, vehicle electronics, or communications infrastructure while leaving other systems functional. The tuning dial has five preset modes and one manual override requiring a RINGO CORPONATION technician key.

base technologies
  • Flux compression generation
  • Tunable electromagnetic pulse architecture

specificationsweight: 0.9 kg
diameter: 11 cm
pulse radius: 12 m standard, 6 m in directional mode
frequency modes: Cybernetic neural implants, Vehicle electronics, Communications arrays, Drone guidance systems, Broad-spectrum (all electronics)
detonation delay: 2.5 seconds pull-pin
reuse: Single use — flux coil destroyed on detonation
operator protection: Requires Faraday-lined gloves — unprotected operators within 3 m risk implant damage
tactical useStandard deployment in anti-cyborg operations and vehicle interdiction. Military breach teams use the Deadstop to drop heavily augmented targets before entering — the cybernetic implant mode selectively crashes neural-linked weapons systems, optical overlays, and subdermal armor actuators without triggering cardiac implants, which would constitute a prohibited kill method under GLMZ corporate warfare accords. The manual override mode that removes this restriction is why the weapon is classified.
cultural contextThe EPG-5 occupies an uncomfortable legal grey zone in GLMZ — its selective modes are technically compliant with corporate warfare protocols, but the existence of the manual override is an open secret that RINGO CORPONATION refuses to acknowledge. Heavily augmented citizens fear the Deadstop the way unaugmented people fear bullets: it is specifically designed to make their body a liability. Black market units with the technician key already installed command extraordinary prices.

story hooks
  • A RINGO technician key surfaces at a street market — whoever sold it either stole it or is dead, and RINGO's internal security is moving to recover it by any means necessary.
  • A runner with extensive cybernetic augmentation is hired for a job, only to discover the client's building was just swept with an EPG-5 on broad-spectrum mode — their implants are dead and they're deep inside hostile territory.
  • An anti-augmentation cell has acquired twelve EPG-5 units with manual overrides and is planning coordinated detonations across the city's most densely augmented districts during a public festival.

physical description
visual profileA compact spherical device with a pronounced crown of segmented metal plates — resembles a modernist chess piece or command module. The upper hemisphere bristles with radiator fins and a recessed tuning dial, while the lower half is a smooth pressure-cast shell with a spring-loaded pull ring embedded in a reinforced grip boss.
dimensions110 mm diameter sphere; tuning dial face 45 mm diameter; pull ring extends 25 mm when armed
weight descriptionDeceptively dense — 0.9 kg feels substantial in palm despite compact profile, suggesting core mass concentrated in the flux coil assembly. Balanced but top-heavy from the radiator cluster.
primary materialDie-cast aluminum alloy housing with embedded copper flux coil cage; tungsten-lined detonation chamber; ceramic frequency modulators
finishBrushed gunmetal with oxidized copper patina visible in ventilation slots; matte anodized surface to reduce electromagnetic reflectance
color schemeCool silver-grey primary with burnt orange/copper accents in radiator fins and frequency dial markings; black rubber pull ring assembly
grip textureKnurled aluminum circumference band for bare-handed operation; lower section wrapped in thin Faraday-mesh fabric rated for operator protection
distinctive features
  • Crown of 12 symmetrical radiator fins — heat dissipation for flux generator prep
  • Recessed tuning dial with five labeled preset positions (Cyb | Veh | Comm | Drone | Broad) plus unlabeled manual override slot requiring technician key
  • Pressure-sensitive grip region — detonation prevented if grip released prematurely
  • Hairline seams visible around equator indicating modular casing for field replacement of flux coil
  • Halcyon Senior Living corporate logo stamped on upper pole — elegant serif lettering
  • Small engraved serial plate beneath pull ring with military classification markings
  • Faint scorch marks around detonation aperture — typical wear from flux discharge prep cycles
manufacturer markingsHalcyon Senior Living wordmark laser-etched on top hemisphere in 8mm serif font; RINGO CORPORATION technical key symbol stamped near manual override slot; military spec designation EPG-5 DEADSTOP printed in blocky sans-serif on lower band; individual serial number on base plate
condition typicalMilitary-issue grenades display field wear — micro-scratches on shell, slight darkening of copper radiators from oxidation, wear ring on grip from handling in gloved tactical operations. Well-maintained but never pristine; operator protection fabric shows creasing from storage in webbing rigs.

Dramatic side-lighting from cool LED strips illuminates the radiator fins and creates sharp shadows in ventilation slots. Secondary warm spotlight highlights the copper patina and Halcyon wordmark.
