Ke-S2-W3000 Main Weapon Array

The main weapon array for the Irim-class Heavy Gunship. This state-of-the-art Transposition Flux Cannon transposes the space between two points, causing the space-time continuum of an area to collapse on itself. Ships using space-time anchors or dimensional screens are particularly affected by the TFC and are almost guaranteed to be dragged out of existence by their anchors, even when not directly in the path of the beam (500,000 miles). Deactivating the T/SA or DS will halt the ship's approach to the rift. This weapon's new second stage fills the path of beam with a river of quintessent “dark energy” to finish off any survivors by exploding them at the atomic level. Very nasty; not to be used when friendlies are on the business end of the weapon.
