Z-8060 particle cannons are enormous floating weapons platforms. They are spherical | Z-8060 particle cannons are enormous floating weapons platforms. They are spherical, surrounded by three curving "arms" spaced at equidistant points around the main gun assembly. The cannons project a hyper-dense beam of negatively charged ions to disintegrate any target in range.{{Ref/Reuse|VIS}} They are slow to turn, however, and are vulnerable to ground-based attacks. A well-placed hit from a small [[MAC]] in the central beam port will destroy the device.{{Ref/Reuse|Reclaimer}} | ||
