Babylon 5 Multi-Phased Cutter

Multi-Phased Cutter
Dominant Faction: Earth Alliance
Description: President Clark’s first and last success in creating his own version of the molecular weaponry found on Shadow vessels, the multi-phased cutter was actually designed from the Shadows’ jump point disruptor. Using molecular energy to scramble atomic bonds, the high-energy barrage that would stream from these weapons would cause significant damage when colliding with other objects. The multi-phased streams of energy blasts would blink in and out of phase as they sped towards the target, making interception all but impossible.

• Rapid Fire: Weapons with the rapid fire special quality generate multiple bursts of fire within a very short amount of time, resulting in a stream of energy pulses firing at an enemy ship. A rapid fire weapon makes the designated number of separate attack rolls every time it is fired, each of which can score a hit. However, rapid fire weapons are far less accurate than normal spacecraft weapons, incurring a –5 penalty to all their attack rolls.
