It's sort of a weapon? It can be used as one. It does have a lethal setting. Jim has it mostly to stop people from doing lethal things to him. He's a lot of things, but a killer really isn't one of them. Unless he has to be, and even then he's lousy at it.

The temptation to point out that his ship is better is strong, but his ship also has a crew hundreds of times bigger than well, just Han here.

Han? Recognition is dawning on Jim and he blinks rapidly to try and hide the expression. Wow, okay. This is a first for him, meeting someone he's only thought was fictional until he suddenly isn't. Best to keep that quiet. He's had weirder things happen in the Nexus than this.

"That's the best part about being a Captain." Jim agrees, grin turning into a smirk. "Surviving the impossible and still being able to fly another day." He scrubs a hand through his hair and sighs. "Shit, I'm glad no one was hurt, trekking them back to the forum in this weather would have suuucked."
