An absurd amount of work went into securing Stellar Empire weapons from 'unauthorized' use. The scientific part of it is likely trivial to the Star Gods, but mind-boggling to us; the whole gun is intertwined with molecular strands of a complex quantum computer, which monitors all kinds of biodata of the user yet seems crucial for the functioning of the firing mechanism via some exotic-physics means. Access codes are kept in a 'data cloud' on Holonet and receive constant 'updates'. Obviously we want to keep away from the Holonet. Overall, this problem seems not worth the effort until we gather more info.
