During its engagement with the Sathanas juggernaught, the GTVA Colossus overloaded its 'Crypt Hammer' beam emitters, forcing additional power to the magnetic bottle and increasing plasma core feed rates. Overloading beam weapons is not standard practice on GTVA warships, but as confidence in power grid and heat sink handling has increased, trained crews have begun drilling on tactical weapon overloads. This comes at the cost of subspace engine recharge and emitter endurance.}}

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


I'm fairly sure I know what the "F" in "BFGreen" stands for, and it isn't "very." It is apparently what results when Terran beam cannons are overdriven.


Funnily enough, no ship comes standard with this weapon. All occurrences of this gun are via FRED.


The BFGreen was only used once - in Endgame - and only on one of the Colossus's turrets. It is also positioned so that it cannot fire.


Calculations point out that this weapon has a yield equivalent to approximately 64.5 GT (Gigatons of TNT) per pulse.
