This weapon vastly improves upon the ionization capabilities of the Ion Cannon, while doing less raw damage and not having nearly the weapon jamming affects. It is, however, also turret-mounted, enabling it to fire at enemies in any direction instead of just those directly ahead.
This design cannot yet be mass-produced, but those that have been produced are prized by the few lucky enough to possess them.
