''Aneph has decided to submit their XAR-14 Abaddon bolter rifle to the SAU. However, the export version listed in the contest is as follows, compared to the normal Abaddon:''

*incapable of defeating advanced Aneph armorplate due to lowered round velocity

*without dual-mode shotgun/rifle fire

*chambered in 7.62x63 standard rather than the proprietary Aneph 8.5 HVR round

*magazine size reduced to 22 instead of 25 rounds

*removal of bolter recoil mitigation 

However, it is still likely that the XAR-14's design is technologically superior to any of the designs so far submitted for SAU consideration, though whether the SAU will find it adequate to their specific needs is still up to their discretion.

''Furthermore, in contrast to strict monetary compensation, Aneph also requests oversight as to their design is employed within the SAU military to ensure no reverse-engineering of the design can take place. Intervention will be as limited as possible, but it is hopefully understood by the SAU that Aneph is concerned about other countries obtaining the weapon's design and improving upon it from the XAR-14E export standard.''
