The following information has not been confirmed by Volition
and is therefore not canon for the FreeSpace universe.

The Bull Frost Tactical Beam, also known as the TerSlashBlue, is a tactical slashing beam cannon used by the GTVA in the FreeSpace 2 mod Blue Planet. The Bull Frost has damage ratings similar to the Aurora Wake beam, as well as the same effective range, but exhibits a much shorter recharge time and beam lifetime. It serves as the primary armament of the Diomedes-class corvette and secondary armament of the Raynor- and Titan-class destroyers.

Description

Blue Planet Tech Room Description

One of a new generation of Terran weapons systems, the 'Bull Frost' tactical beam is a product of the Threat Exigency Initiative's adaptation of Shivan beam technology. Using the Akheton Corporation's adaptive fire control suite, a dedicated meson reactor, and a cryogenic slurry heat sink, the Bull Frost offers rapid-fire engagement options against multiple turrets and subsystems. The Bull Frost serves as the primary armament of the Diomedes strike corvette and as a battery weapon on the Raynor-class and Titan-class destroyers.

Despite the typical problems of slash beams in general, this beam barely resembles the Terslash; the two Bullfrost on a Diomedes will tear up Sanctus cruisers in less than a minute. In Darkest Hour, if the Indus Karuna moves into the wrong position, as occasionally happens, it will quickly be ripped to shreds. Don't underestimate these beams and the threat they pose to Federation vessels.
