Derived from advanced electromagnetic weaponry, such as the Banshee, the GTW-19 Circe disrupts shield systems by focusing a barrage of widely varying EM harmonics upon its target.

The yin to the GTW-66 Maxim Cannon's yang, the Circe eats shields for breakfast, but has no real other purpose.


I like to use this weapon in an GTF Erinyes with the GTW-66 Maxim Cannon. It's quite simple to fire off a couple of Circle bursts: completely striping away a fighters shields instantly, and then switch over to the Maxim and blow your target away.
