Stivas

The stivas is the single most iconic assault rifle series in the galaxy. Made of rugged materials it comes in both a burst pulse and ballistic variant, and the action of the rifle has been adapted for automatic shotguns. The series name comes from the first of its type, the STI-VAS Mark 1, a rifle developed in conjunction by the Saint Terrance Innovations and Variable Arms Systems companies of Gath-Sako. When first introduced the rifle was instantly popular, and subsequently innumerable variants, licensed models, and re-chambered models have been produced since, each somewhere in its name bearing the moniker Sti-Vas or Stivas.

The Stivas and its variants are by an order of magnitude believed to be the most produced rifle in the galaxy and is an enduring classic. Most armies within the coalition use the stivas in some capacity, and many irregular forces use it as well.
