^Katana^ {{:katana-150x80.png?400|}} ^ | Japanese longsword | | **Martial weapon** | | //Cost: 2000 Credits// | | As a traditional officer's sidearm in the Space Command, the katana may seem a little bit out-of-date, but no small firearm slices & dices an unarmored enemy better than it. It is fast but lacks the power to penetrate heavy armor. The greatest advantage from wielding it comes when you face a foe eye-to-eye in close combat: with the katana, you can defend yourself effectively! | ====== Melee combat ====== ^ Property ^ Slash ^ Thrust ^ | Range (grids) | 1 | 1 | | [[weapons#Targeting modes|Targeting mode]] | [[weapons#Star|star]] | [[weapons#Star|star]] | | [[combat#The Attack Value|Static/base precision]] | 0 | 0 | | Action Points | 2 | 3 | | [[combat#Doing Damage|Base damage]] | 5 | 7 | | [[combat#Doing Damage|Random damage]] | 5 | 5 | | [[combat#Doing Damage|Base maxDmg range]] | 5-10 | 7-12 | | [[combat#Doing Damage|Target area (grids)]] | 1 | 1 | | [[combat#Doing Damage|Distance dmg. decay*]] | - | - | | [[combat#Additional effects|Impact force]] | 0 | 4 | | [[combat#Additional effects|Armor penetration]] | 5 | 7 | | [[combat#Additional effects|Tranquilization]] | - | - | | Special | - | - | | Module needed | - | - | ← [[weapons|Back to the main Weapons page]] ← [[ultimate_space_commando_steam_2015|Back to Main page]]
