Very Large Green Beam is a beam used by the Terrans in the Freespace 2
The BFG 90000 also happens to be the name of the most powerful weapon in Doom.

Notes
The BFGreen is not used in canon Freespace 2. It was going to be used as standard armament on the Colossus before the Colossus was rebalanced by Volition.
Veteran Comments
One thing to note is how Terran beam cannons discharge their beams. All Terran beams are weak because a significant amount of energy is lost every time they fire. In comparison, when you look at Shivan beams, you realise that they seem to discharge their energy very smoothly...and even the newer Vasudan beams do not suffer that much energy loss either. Terran beams are actually much more powerful than their Vasudan or Shivan counterparts, but because the Terrans don't seem to care very much about energy loss, they end up being less powerful instead. In the case of the BFGreen, the beam doesn't look like a beam at all (more of a green candy cane). The BFGreen releases gargantuan amounts of energy, but most of it is lost in space. With all that energy focused just like Shivan beams, a single BFGreen could probably do as much damage as a BFRed and an LRed combined, maybe more.
