M-98 Assault Rifle

The M-98 Assault Rifle, officially the Year 998 Model Plasma Assault Rifle (also known as the Kabansky Rifle or just the 98), is a plasma-based assault rifle, developed in the Cybertovet Union by Inova Kabansky.

The development of the M-98 started in 991, in the hopes to create a new service rifle for the Cybertovet Armed Forces. The project aimed to create a rifle that was cheap and easy to manufacture, and required little maintenance while also retaining a technological edge. At the breakout of the Galactic War, the final year of its design were rushed in order to start it's mass production. By the end of 998, the M-98 was officially adopted as the predominate service rifle of the Cybertovet military. During the duration of the Galactic War, the design of the M-98 was modified and perfected to eliminate some of the errors created from its rushed introduction.

The M-98 had widespread approval, and many Cybertovet-aligned states adopted the design for their own military. The rifle was also supplied to rebel groups in mass quantities.
