[Official Illustration Currently Unavailable] The Aldokk, even with all of the original Necrai dead, even with many of the Arek's powers removed, even with the Fall of Hedriun VII, are fighting an uphill battle where one mistake could end their entire species. The Aldokk may have been the most devastating thing to ever happen to the galaxy, but they're not mindless destroyers, not 100% anyway, they're pretty smart too. And with their cruel intelligence, they have designed many, many weapons which are infamous for being proven the best tools for killing Arek ever crafted. The Gseri rod is one of their most infamous weapons, it's not as legendary as their nigh unstoppable ender flame, but it's in that class of weapons that will remain forever in infamy. Rumored to be designed by The Aldokk God herself, the Gseri rod is a 1.6 inch wide, 4 foot long rod that ends in a single pointed tip that is capable of penetrating many Arek armor types. It has six dark blue blades emerging from a black core It flies through the air, spinning in its path until it hits its target, if the rod touches the Arek's skin not covered by their epidermal plates, they will immediately feel a great agonizing pain. But if it penetrates any deeper than that, say...it impales them in the gut or it flies into their knee, the damage will be far worse. The Gseri Rod when it comes into contact with organic flesh, ANY organic flesh, Arek, Aldokk, whatever, every part of the living creature touching it, blood, bone, mucous, skin, wood, bark, hair, and flesh will be crystallized immediately, the first version of this abomination actually carbonized living creatures. This causes such great internal damage that most Arek, if penetrated by a Gseri rod will be crippled, and maimed. Even the most powerful of Arek soldiers getting hit by one of these anywhere on their head or torso that isn't a grazing blow may be a career ending injury if they survive. Even an Arek with super regeneration will die from a rod in them for less than a second if it pierces them in the right place. Gseri Rod related injuries however, become several orders of magnitude worse when inflicted on any organic life form that's not an Arek. The crystallization process is far more rapid, and it never stops, it spreads until it consumes the entire body if the affected body part with the rod is not severed moments after the injury is sustained. Here's another tidbit that will keep you awake at night, millions upon millions of these things exist, and in every conflict with the Arek, they will always be used, and in conflicts with aliens they're used less frequently, but they're always present. All of the Aldokk infantry wear gloves with those demon sticks in mind. If an Aldokk wearing the standard issue glove grabs it, the glove forms a hilt and moves it to the blunt end of the rod where the freak can use it as a sword.

Significance As one of the very few things capable of one-shotting an Arek if it ever penetrated their skin, this weapon is no laughing matter
