Tachyon Gun

WC 1-3 Specs

Service Date: 2669

Energy: 40 nJ

Information:

A power-hungry blaster, the Tachyon Gun is the most devastating energy gun found on Terran fighters. It slows down tachyon particles, which naturally travel faster than the speed of light. Once these particles are decelerated and forced into streams, their potential damage increases monumentally. In several documented cases, the powerful Tachyon Gun has been used to attack the shields of capital ships.
