Babylon 5 Molecular Slicer Beam

Molecular Slicer Beam
Dominant Faction: Shadows
Description: The primary weapon of the heaviest of Shadow vessels is the molecular slicer beam. A condensed beam of molecular energy capable of simply disintegrating matter at a molecular level, the slicer beam was named by the Younger Races thusly due to the image of the brilliant violet beam lopping off sections of ships with ease. Impossible to face and difficult to avoid, the slicer beam is a nightmare of Shadow technology. The same weapon was later modified and fitted to the infamous ‘Omega-X’ Shadow Omegas, who stood defiantly in the way of the White Star fleet in the latter days of the Earth Civil War. Even with the marriage of Shadow and Human technology, they were defeated and, supposedly, no more of the deadly weapons are in Earth hands.
