The Amplification beam technology was created by the Ancient Bion race during an unknown period of their history. The technology was developed by the species to better adapt themselves to the harsh climate of their world. Some time after the race had disappeared the Space Pirates came across the technology and started to use it to enhance themselves and bioweapons/creatures of war after Phazon had become lost to them. The technology was most likely lost when the Federation fleet destroyed the Doomseye.
