Babylon 5 Lightning Cannon
Lightning Cannon
Dominant Faction: Vorlon Empire
Description: The unleashed fury of electromagnetic mastery, the lightning cannon is a huge focused beam of energy capable of shattering small moons. Like firing a million harnessed lightning bolts at tremendous ranges, the lightning cannon is nearly unmatched as an offensive weapon. Nothing can stand in the path of the lightning cannon.
A lightning cannon’s statistics are dependent on the size of the vessel it is attached to.
