The BFRed is a super-heavy beam cannon used by the Shivans in FreeSpace 2. Four of these cannons form the primary forward firepower of the SJ Sathanas. The damage output of a single BFRed far exceeds any Terran or Vasudan beam cannon designed, let alone any anti-warship weapon ever designed by either species, and, similar to the less powerful LRed, it does not have a recharge cycle and can be fired continuously. The BFRed is the most powerful anti-warship weapon the Shivans have ever brought to bear against the Galactic Terran-Vasudan Alliance. With it, the Shivans inflicted massive losses on the GTVA, including destroying the GTVA Colossus, the Alliance's most powerful space-faring warship.

This is the undisputed king of all beam cannons in FreeSpace 2, beating out the MjolnirBeam and BFGreen. Four of these cannons can easily destroy a GTD Hecate in a single shot (Bearbaiting).
