: A power-hungry blaster, the tachyon gun is the most devastating energy gun found on Terran fighters. It slows down tachyon particles, which naturally travel faster than the speed of light. Once these particles ore decelerated and forced into streams, their potential damage increases monumentally. In several documented cases, the powerful tachyon gun has been used to attack the shields of capital ships.


Particle Cannons may be installed on the gun slots of the stock [[Tarsus]], [[Orion]], [[Galaxy]] and [[Centurion]].
