The majority of shipmounted weapons are beam-based. That is, they fire particles in phase (organized and unidirectional) at or close to the speed of light. The two well-known forms of beam-based weaponry rely on the photon and electron, respectively. Space beam weapons, unlike sidearms and rifles used by ground forces, have a peculiar nomenclature. There is little correlation in the naming conventions between the two. The following table specifies the manufacturer name of the types of beam guns.

abstract
  • The majority of shipmounted weapons are beam-based. That is, they fire particles in phase (organized and unidirectional) at or close to the speed of light. The two well-known forms of beam-based weaponry rely on the photon and electron, respectively. The photon laser is simply called the laser. Through the traditional atomic orbital manipulation, photons mediating intense amounts of kinetic energy are produced and directed through an ocular lens and toward the target. There are two forms of photon lasers: pulse and duration. Pulse lasers recharge faster but convey less amount of energy per burst. Duration lasers take more time to charge up energy but release more potent shots. Overall, there is no difference in damage dealt between pulse and duration varieties of the same weapon. The electron beam weapon is called the free electron laser. Instead of using electricity to coax an atom to release photons like the photon laser, the free electron laser fires the individual electrons that make up electricity. These electrons move just marginally below relativistic speeds because they are accelerated before shooting. Similar to the photon laser, the free electron laser also comes in pulse and duration types. FELs are approximately two times more powerful than photon lasers. Space beam weapons, unlike sidearms and rifles used by ground forces, have a peculiar nomenclature. There is little correlation in the naming conventions between the two. The following table specifies the manufacturer name of the types of beam guns. Laser Pulse: Laser Repeater Laser Duration: Laser Cannon Electron Pulse: Pulse Repeater Electron Duration: Pulse Cannon
