The Gyaku-Ko Beam Defense Point is the standard point defense system of the Imperial Jade Navy. 1.6 meters long, it is typically mounted so that it can fire in a minimum 180° arc, providing the widest field of fire possible. Each ship will have dozens of BDPs providing overlapping fields of fire, with targeting controlled by Narrow AI linked to the ship's central targeting suite. Individual Gyaku-Ko are used as armaments for ground vehicles and light craft.
The Gyaku-Ko can separate osmium into streams of ionized uranium and electrons. Ionized streams are effective at cutting through matter and delivering fatal heat and radiation to biological targets, whilst electron streams foil neutralized and ionized energy weapons and deliver Bremsstrahlung radiation that can damage and disrupt electronic systems. Versions designed to be used in atmospheric conditions mount a low-powered laser that agitates the air in the instant before the primary weapon fires, in order to extend its range.
