The weapon fired a thin (compared to the ship) beam of extremely energetic particles. It was possible to determine when it was about to fire because it typically generates a rather detectable radiation spike before firing. The beam has an effective range of over 50,000 kilometres, longer even than that of a [[UNSC]] Super Orbital [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. The long range allowed a ship armed with this weapon to 'snipe' or 'glass' targets.
