Using nearly the same technology as the Ion Engine, the Ion Cannon enhances the destructive forces of ionized hydrogen atoms by using a specifically designed focusing mechanism. It is the most powerful energy weapon in the Abwehran arsenal with the ability to even penetrate some shield systems and most armors. The intensity of the beam dissipates the farther the target is from the cannon.
