Chrono-Weapons are a rare and powerful type of weapon.[1]
Chronoweapons manipulate time itself and are capable of causing catastrophic damage. Their temporal power can cause a target to freeze[2], crumble from entropy[3], or collapse into a black hole.[1] Chrono-Weapons are extremely rare and Human pieces of such technology are closely related to the Dark Age of Technology.[1]
