The BGreen is a beam used by the Terrans in FreeSpace 2. It is one of the most powerful beam cannons mounted on several Terran warships of destroyer size and above, capable of easily obliterating most cruisers with a single pulse.

Description

FreeSpace 2 Tech Room Description

Basic Terran anti-capital ship beam weapon

Blue Planet Tech Room Description

The Subach-Innes Warship Engagement System, codenamed 'Crypt Hammer', was the primary GTVA destroyer beam during the Second Shivan Incursion. Reliable, accurate, easy to maintain, and highly robust, the Crypt Hammer remains a favorite of Terran warship crews. It provides the main tactical power of Orion and Hecate combatants. It has one of the lowest failure rates of any GTVA weapons system, but it produces copious heat and its mountings are bulky.

The most powerful beam carried by standard Terran warships, the BGreen is accurate and is one of the things that makes the GTD Orion so powerful, also standard issue on the GTVA Colossus unless it overdrives its beams, in which case they become BFGreen.
