'''Lodestar''' is an [[Exotic]] [[Trace Rifle]] introduced in ''[[Episode: Heresy]]''. It is acquired from Episode: Heresy Season Pass's premium track when purchased and at rank 35 of the free track.

==Gameplay==
===Perks===
*Intrinsic: '''Starlight Beam''' - This weapon fires a low-intensity Arc beam with enhanced stability and accuracy.
*'''Fluted Barrel''': Ultra-light barrel.
**Greatly increases handling speed
**Slightly increases stability
*'''Phase Converter''': When aiming down sights, the beam is compressed into short, high-energy bursts that interact with targets affected by Arc debuffs, dealing increased damage and causing them to detonate into blinding explosions on final blows.
*Exotic Trait: '''Arc Alignment''' - Dealing Arc damage from any source aligns the battery's coils. When alignment is complete, [Alternate Weapon Action] to disengage the safety and enable hip-fired Starlight Beam to apply Jolt to any targets damaged for a short time. Aim down sights to slow the rate at which the battery drains.
*'''Composite Stock''': This weapon has a versatile dual-purpose stock.
**Slightly increases stability
**Slightly increases handling speed

''Potentia ex nihilo.''

Shimizu, Hassan. Private papers under elliptic-curve cryptographic lock.

Discourse on the political realities of the [[Last City|City]] is suppressed. My last seven papers have been rejected by every major journal on [[Earth]], surely the work of private censors.

Should I try to continue my work on CDM or enter the field of more direct paracausal studies, I'm sure to remain unpublished. [[Hari-5]]'s unproven speculation that only [[Owl Sector|OWL Sector]] is allowed to study [[Darkness]] among mortal researchers seems increasingly likely to be correct.

Within my lifetime, I have seen cultural shifts among [[Lightbearer]]s in the Last City. In my youth, the element of [[Void]] was seen as closest to the Dark. In my adulthood, Darkness—[[Stasis]], [[Strand]], speculative elements as yet undiscovered—has shifted from taboo to standard toolset. The final stigma among the [[Tower (Destiny 2)|Tower]]'s [[Guardian]]s is against rogue Lightbearers who attack [[Ghost]]s, the source of their paracausal abilities, directly.

However, the shift in perception of Darkness among Lightbearers has not been equaled by a shift in their perception of mortal researchers.

Arc is a power humanity has harnessed for centuries. Among the Guardians, it stands with [[Solar]] [[Light]] as an element seen historically as almost entirely positive—salutary, in fact. (See [[Tyra Karn|Karn]], "Sociobiology of the Immortal," chapters five and six.)

[[Arc]] is kindly, and friendly, and unimpeachable. So must I be until more change comes and the censors move on to other fears.

There can be no complaint about my turning to work on matters that Guardians see as nothing but good for them.

Certainly not if I give them the results of that research.
