Wings of Dawn Tech Room Description
The first in the new line of Tachyon weapons, the Tachyon Burst Cannon is the first LSF weapon made to fire bursts of condensed tachyon particles. These tachyon particles move faster than light, making them capable of bypassing the target's shield system, because it penetrates the generated radius of the shield before the barrier has a chance to come online and absorb the shot.
However, this weapon is still technically in a prototype phase due to war breaking out. As such, it still suffers from several drawbacks. It's hard to maintain, has a high breakdown rate and requires a lot of energy to fire. In the future it's hoped that new revisions later on will help address these issues and, in the end, fix them.
