The '''Type-55 Directed Energy Rifle/Advanced''', commonly known as the ''' | The '''Type-55 Directed Energy Rifle/Advanced''' ('''T55 DER/A'''), commonly known as the '''Storm rifle''', is a [[Sangheili]] [[directed energy weapon]].<ref name="O+A">[http://halo.xbox.com/halo4#!an-epic-universe/ordnance-armor/cbbca9b3-5108-41aa-aa21-9b523de68266 '''Halo Official Site''': ''ORDNANCE + ARMOR'']</ref> | ||
==History== | |||
Designed by [[Lodam Armory]] in the wake of the [[Great Schism]], the T55 saw use during [[Sangheili]] civil conflicts following the [[Human-Covenant War]]'s conclusion. The T55 DER/A is considered to be a successor to the widely used [[Type-25 Directed Energy Rifle]];<ref>'''Halo 4''', ''Storm rifle armory description''</ref> however, it is more similar to the [[Type-51 Directed Energy Rifle/Improved]], itself an upgrade of the T25, in both form and function. The weapon features such modifications as a modular coil set, a high-mounted cooling shroud, and an extended barrel.<ref name="O+A"/> | |||

The "Storm" in the weapon's name suggests that it was created for, or is used predominantly by the [[Storm]], a remnant faction loyal to the ideals of the Covenant. However, Lodam Armory co-manufactures matériel, (namely the [[Type-32 Rapid Attack Vehicle|Type-32 Ghost]]), alongside [[Iruiru Armory]], which is located in [[Yermo]] and is thus presumably allied with the [[State of Vadam]]. Assuming [[Kaidon]] [[Thel 'Vadam]] still holds sway in the region, it is unlikely that he would allow dealings with Covenant loyalists. | |||
