A standard issue retractable wrist blade. The blade is 4 centimeters long.
P45 Semi Automatic 9.5 mm pistol:
A semi automatic 9.5 milimeter pistol. It is used as a side-arm by marksmen, heavy gunners, vehicle crews and pilots. Its design allows it to be used easy and is cheap to produce, but is ineffective against armored infantry. It can hold 10 rounds per clip.
P50 Semi Autmatic 10 mm pistol:
A stronger variant of the P45, it has a bigger ammo clip (14 per clip) and caliber bullet. However, it's more expensive to produce. It's mostly used by officers.
R-285:
One of the most common rifles in the Xeltek military. It's easy to produce, but moderately to maintain and use. It uses 7.4 millimeter bullets in magazines of 25 bullets each. Its rate of fire and accuracy makes it an excellent weapon for mid-range combat.
E-22 Blaster Rifle:
One of the most common rifles in the Xeltek military. It's easy to produce, maintain and use. It uses plasma gas cartridges as ammunition. One cartridge was enough for 500 shots. However, this weapons is very ineffective at long range and had overheat problems which limits its rate of fire.
H-53 Heavy Repeater Rifle:
A heavy repeater rifle. A projectile weapon with a very high rate of fire, being effective for suppression or cover fire. It shoot metallic bolts at a high rate of fire and has a attached grenade launcher on it which shoots concussion rounds. It holds 400 rounds per clip and several concussion rounds. It was neither expensive or cheap to produce, but was easy to maintain and to use. They are used by gunners.
S-44 Sniper Rifle:
A bolt-action sniper rifle which uses .50 caliber bullets. It can hold 5 rounds per magazine. It has an excellent accuracy, but a very low rate of fire. It's effective at long-range, but is very ineffective at close range. It moderate cost and easy maintenance makes it a good sniper rifle for marksman.
F24 Anti-Vehicle Rifle:
An anti-vehicle rifle with a very low rate of fire. However, its projectiles can effectively pierce up to 10 millimeter, but has to be reloaded per shot. They are used in limited quantities in the army and only used against vehicles as its ammunition is not cheap to produce.
E-33 Blaster Rifle:
An upgraded version of the E-22. It is equipped with an advanced cooling system, allowing it for a higher rate of fire. It's accuracy is also much greater. However, each canister holds only enough for 200 rounds. The gun is also much more expensive to produce and maintain and it's only used by special forces. It's excellent at mid-ranged combat. It has several attachments available to it, including an advanced mid-range scope, larger canisters (twice as expensive as a standard one) or a grenade launcher.
D5 Disruptor Rifle:

The rest uses a combination of different weapons, ranging from pistols to machine guns and blaster rifles.
Civilian technology is also pretty far, but behind military technology as the Xeltek have their primary focus on military technology and always seek to improve their weapons in production cost and efficiency. However, some military technology is scaled down and also made for civilian use, such as repulsorlifts which gives vehicles a big advantage at rough terrain. But it has a max attitude. Though there are versions which can bring a vehicle to the lower atmosphere.
FTL: Hyperdrive
General Military Tactics:
Tactics heavily depend on the situation. When outnumbered, mostly relying on guerrilla tactics. These tactics require not a lot of supplies and support, but can end disastrously.
However, when on assaulting, most tactics rely on suppression and flanking. These tactics require quite some supplies and support.
