-====== El-N1-T9401 Thunderbolt-Type Nose Beam ====== 
-Introduced in [[calendar:elysian_calendar#years|AD MMMCMXCIV]] ([[calendar:elysian_calendar#years|AD 3994]]/[[calendar:ye_23]]) with the [[faction:elysia:military:equipment:starships:escorts_and_gunships:thunderbolt|Thunderbolt-class Fast Attack Frigate]], this relatively powerful weapon - built into the "nose" of the [[faction:elysia:military:equipment:starships:escorts_and_gunships:thunderbolt|Thunderbolt]], hence its name - fires a beam of plasma that phases into subspace (in order to penetrate [[guide:damage_rating_v3#barrier|barriers]] and, to a lesser extent, armor) until encountering a solid object. When the aforementioned encounter occurs, the beam is "dragged" back into normal space - and deals considerable amounts of damage. 
- 
-The beams fired by the [[faction:elysia:military:equipment:starships:escorts_and_gunships:thunderbolt|Thunderbolt]]-Type Nose Beam can bypass [[guide:damage_rating_v3#barrier|barriers]] (except for those that specifically protect against phasing and/or teleportation, such as the [[stararmy:star_army_of_yamatai|Star Army of Yamatai's]] [[stararmy:combined_field_system|Combined Field System]]) and solid objects less then one decimeter (3.9370 inches) thick.
