Teragun (in action with Cynthetic Certainty)

Teragun in use on the Cynthetic Certainty.

Description[]

The Teragun is an energy weapon based on Teraport technology. The weapon projects a dense field of nanoscopic wormholes, which disrupts both baryonic and non-baryonic matter, and is therefore one of the only weapons that is effective against the dark matter Pa'anuri. The field projected by the weapon is invisible on the electromagnetic spectrum, and can only be detected by gravitic sensors[1], but is broad and diffuse in shape like a gigantic flamethrower.

The Teragun was originally conceived by Ellen Foxworthy ("a teraport that shoots teraport area denial"[2]), whose design was then copied and implemented by Petey.

Weapon History[]

The weapon first created by the Plenipotent Dominion, based on ideas by Ellen Foxworthy and her husband Kevyn Foxworthy.[3] The weapon was first used in combat against the Pa'anuri in the Xuvoth star system, when a Pa'anuri Warship assaulted the system to destroy the Unioc homeworld Othlin.

During the battle, the weapon was rapidly prototyped from the unstable Mark 3 to more stable Mark 4.[4]

A later version of the weapon, the Mark 5, was retrofitted onboard the Tagon's Tough Cruiser, Cynthetic Certainty on its mission to the Andromeda Galaxy.[5]
