The weapon fired a thin,compared to the ship, near-lightspeed beam of extremely energetic particles. It was possible to determine when it was about to fire because it typically generated a detectable radiation spike before firing. The beam has an effective range of about 100,000 kilometers, longer even than that of a [[UNSC]] Super Orbital [[Magnetic Accelerator Cannon]]. The long range allowed a ship armed with this weapon to 'snipe' targets. | The weapon fired a thin,compared to the ship, near-lightspeed beam of extremely energetic particles.
