Concept - N Plasma Phaser
Concept-N is only a recent addition to the Hyperion Federation arsenals. The required blueprints were only recently built.
It fires a constant stream of plasma. It can use 2 different plasmas, one of which drains the energy from shields fast and the other can heat armour to massive temperatures, destroying it or making it much weaker.
It was developed using some technology from another faction called the Galactic Abyssal Federation, located in another galaxy. That faction uses many muon cannons, essentially a particle cannon that fires muons, basically a heavier version of an electron.
In shield draining mode, it can fire a large number of electrons. Normally, these will deflect off a magnetic field produced by most shields harmlessly, but the particles have been modified to actively 'shift' between different states, going from positive charge to cargeless to neutral to chargeless and back to positive very rapidly. Due to this, the force vectors on all particles over a long period of time is very small. This cycle continues until it reaches the shield itself, where the electrons will revert back to normal due to interference. The electron beams are extremely tightly concentrated, so the combined magnetic field in a very small area can easily overwhelm a shield magnetic field, for a moment anyway, and cause the plasma in the shield to become less stable and possibly eject some mass into space as it creates holes in the shield magnetic field.
In armour melting mode, the weapon instead emits regular electrons. This causes damage to the magnetic moment of enemy armour which attracts various quantum particles from nearby space and quantum foam, which causes more radiation to fall onto it and heat it up.Very powerful weapon, and is used in a very general purpose sort of way.
