Multi-Frequency Annihilator X53
Weapon used by the Hyperion Federation and designed by the Vanadian race.
A large photon cannon known for seemingly firing rainbows at the enemy. As 7 streams of light are emitted from the weapon, each one having a different effect, it can cause untold destruction and be incredibly difficult to use. It has an obscenely short range though, but Federation doctrine largely prefers to stay at long range. Thus its not seen often. It also has a large power consumption in comparison to other Federation weapons.
The weapon is very likely going to be very effective against almost all targets due to the massive variety of the beams. Especially against a faction with adaptive armour, such as the HEX Mainframe, the beams will very likely confuse the self repair systems immensely and make it nearly impossible to adapt to this highly exotic weapon. This confusion also makes it very weak against other Hyperion Federation weapons, so the use of this weapon is highly likely to cause heavy casualties for any HM forces, as long as this weapon system can get close enough. The HM even copied this using their Omnicannons, gaining the ability to fire similar though less powerful rainbows against HF ships. This has taken the HM a lot of research to figure out though, as the HF equivalent is a Vanadian technology. It was immensely difficult for even the HM to understand the principles behind this engineering.Red Beam - Cause Explosions
Orange Beam - Burns Target / Very Hot
Yellow Beam - Disruptive to Enemy Computers
Green Beam - Shield / Armour Pierce, No Damage vs Shield / Armour, highly toxic, biohazard
Blue beam - Supercool Target
Purple Beam - Shield Pierce
White Central beam - Accurate, normal photon stream
