'Lepton' Entangled Plasma Cannon
Extremely powerful plasma cannon as used by the Hyperion Federation . While each of its explosive plasma bolts are rather weak, the weapon fires a lot of them simultaneously. It takes more copies of the projectile from nearby timelines, resulting in a huge quantity of bolts being fired in 1 blast. However, this causes the plasma bolts to become quantum-entangled with each other, so that when one explodes or is otherwise compromised, the others will too. The weapon has an immense destructive potential when used correctly, but when only using one plasma bolt per blast, it is rather weak.
The Lepton was designed by a Vanadian-Yunkad collaborative team. They designed this weapon to deal with larger, well armoured starships.
It was initially used against a HEX Mainframe heavy starship. They could aim at the center of this starship causing as many of the plasma bolts to land simultaneously as possible, destroying the ship surprisingly quickly. The captain of that ship escaped alive, but was terrified about the high power of the new (at the time) HF weapon, assuming multiple bolts hit. He reported this to his superiors.
The Lepton has since been used occasionally by the HF. It is known to be difficult to properly utilize, but if done well it can easily hit multiple targets and cause great damage.The Lepton fires about 30 projectiles every time it fires.
