Editing Babylon 5 Particle Weaponry (section)

===='''Particle Cannon'''====

Leave it to the Drazi to make a more aggressive variety of particle weapon from the standard particle beam. Created in the same manner as a very large particle beam emitter, each particle cannon is attached to an extremely efficient particle charger. This mechanism supercharges huge amounts of particulate matter and feeds them into the focused firing port of the cannon.

Essentially this creates a constant barrage of charged particles, similar to that of the relentless fire of a laser. The result is a powerful cutting ‘beam’ that blasts away sheet after sheet of the target’s outer layers.

Far too large to put on common Drazi hulls, the Freehold had designed a ‘heavy’ version of the powerful weapon that they have fitted to their defensive satellites and starbases. There is rumor of them trying to create a truly gigantic warship able to carry two of these titanic weapons but the design and build crews cannot seem to agree on anything long enough to arrange for its construction.
