Wolfen Republic Military Weapons and Armor (Three Galaxies):

In most cases today, the Wolfen Republic uses Consortium weaponry however they previously manufactured and used their own small arms and body armors. When Consortium weaponry was adopted, these small arms were largely sold off as surplus. As such, they can be found th the hands of independent defense forces, mercenary companies, and even adventurers.

Around the time that the Wolfen Republic joined the Consortium, the designation system with regards to small arms was simplified into an integrated system. Before this, the system was considered rather complex. All small arms were given the prefix “WRA” for “Wolfen Republic Armory.”

Compared to weaponry produced by the Consortium, Wolfen Republic weaponry tends to be large but still relatively powerful. In some cases weaponry will not be comfortable for the hands of a human and similar sized users. Even so, most are usually able to be used effective by humans.
