Submachine guns with a sickle-shaped magazine for cartridges and in white livery were used for security purposes aboard the generation ships of the Flotilla headed for the planet Journey's End.
Description[]
Then Titus Haussmann left the squad, and went back over to the train they had arrived on and pulled his own gun from it. No armour or helmet; just the weapon. It was the same gloss-white as the others. There was a sickle-shaped magazine beneath it and a skeletal stock. His father handled it with quiet respect rather than easy familiarity: the way a man might handle a venomous snake that had just been milked.
