Anti-xeno superweapon: Difference between revisions

Line 4:

According to an analysis of Classified Experimental Equipment performed by the [[Engineers|Engineer]] and [[Guardian]] expert [[Ram Tah]], the anti-xeno superweapon's components are based on Guardian devices found at the site of the [[Proteus]] in Trapezium Sector YU-X c1-2, and the superweapons themselves appear to be an up-scaled version of a Guardian weapon design. The superweapons function by emitting a system-wide electromagnetic pulse at a specific frequency that interferes with the bio-mechanics of Thargoid vessels. These superweapons have the drawback of provoking the Thargoids into a frenzy due to the presence of Guardian technology, however, and Thargoid fleets will invade systems where a superweapon is being assembled in overwhelming numbers.

In 3308, Salvation ordered the construction of an improved Anti-xeno superweapon - the Proteus Wave - in [[HIP 22460]], with the intention of eradicating the threat of the Thargoids once and for all.

In 3308, Salvation ordered the construction of an improved Anti-xeno superweapon - the Proteus Wave - in [[HIP 22460]], with the intention of eradicating the threat of the Thargoids once and for all. After weeks of supplying resources to the site whilst fending off frenzied Thargoids, the weapon was fired on the 9th of August 3308. Whilst the weapon initially seemed successful in shutting down Thargoid vessels throughout the system upon activation, the site it was built upon released a 'counter wave' not long after the first, which 'reactivated' all of the incapacitated [[Thargoid Interceptor]]s. Aside from suggesting that the Thargoids have adapted to and even developed the ability to subvert Guardian technology (''cf.'' [[Unclassified Relic]]) the full ramifications of the weapon's use - beyond the initial loss of life and materiel - remain to be seen.
