Void weapons

Void weapons are the pinnacle of human and Xenos engineering in the art of warfare. Mostly found in the form of melee weapons infused with raw void energy or heaven energy for anti demonic operations, these weapons can cut through any material known to both man and Alien by disrupting the very essence and reality of that matter as well as disrupting it on a subatomic level. These weapons are only used by the highest echelons of the federation as personal weapons and many of them are centuries old artifacts or immense power

Utility

Void weapons work by utilizing void energy infused within them to disrupt the soul of any living being that is struck as well as break down the atomic structure of that being. Raw void energy is so volatile that it will violently disrupt any and all matter it hits. The void energy field can be activated by a button located on the hilt of a void weapon or in the case of void cannons is always switched on.

Manufacturing

Void weapons take an enormous amount of time and resources to manufacture and so are provided to only the higher echelons of the federation. All void weapons need Sanguinium in their manufacturing which is the only material known to man that can conduct void energy efficiently in large amounts. This metal is found on the planet of Sanguinius where it grows in large patches on certain areas of the planet. The sanguinium is alloyed with Valcoranium, Eclipticum and somd other materials to form the perfect alloy for the weapons. The alloy is then very carefully infused with raw void energy as it is very volatile and can cause great damage if mishandled. After the infusion is done the void energy is let to wear down before it is usable.
Access & Availability
Void weapons are an extremely rare breed of weapons accessible to only the highest echelons of the federation and the alliance . The alliance is always closely guarding what void weapons they have as them falling into demonic hands would mean grave danger for the alliance .
Complexity
Void weapons are known to be one of the most if not the most complex weapons to maintain. It takes a huge amount of effort by the most knowledgeable and skilled of artisans and scientists. Their machine spirits have a special bond with their master which means that only the owner of the weapon is able to calm down a machine spirit of his or her own void weapon if it goes mad from being corrupted by demons. Each of thier void weapons also can only be used by their owner and others who have been authorised by the owner to wield their weapons.

I like the idea of weapons that can break down matter. It's a pretty cool way to bypass the protection armor can provide. I like the way you formatted the article as well. Their are fewer walls of text broken by your headers. Im curious as to what they may look like too. Does it have an effect around it? You mention that they are often artifacts of great power. Are these items specially named? Examples? Good work
