ENERGY WEAPONS
The IJN uses several forms of directed energy weapons. The most common of these are particle beams and gravity lances, most typically mounted aboard warships.
GYAKU BEAMS
Highly charged shafts of various particles agitated to a intense degree, infused with Carchon particles and then fired, Gyaku beams travel at close to the speed of light, making them remarkably accurate in the cold of space, but diffusion bloom greatly limits their effective range. Gyaku weapons include Gyaku-Ko BDP, the Gyaku-Tanken Cannon, and the Inazuma Compound Array.
GRAVITY WEAPONS
Gravity weapons rely on the manipulation of gravity's spin foam field. As well as a variety of defensive uses, this manipulation can be used offensively in a number of ways. Common applications include the Shamisen Resonance Caster, the infantry support T800 Graviton Lance and the ship-mounted T40K Graviton Relay.
