NOTES ON TECHNOLOGY WORKINGS

Kiith Somtaaw created beam-splitter (beam redirection) technology; thus, Hiigaran Battlecruiser probably uses that technology to accelerate particles from front of the ship towards ion turrets, redirecting them throught turrets. Similar technology is seen in Ion Cannon frigatte, althought in that case redirection technology is limited to maybe 10 – 15 degree off-axis firing

Hyperdrive uses Quantum tunneling

main drives on ships are fusion torch drives, probably using high-temperature plasma from ship's power plant

Phased Dissasembler Arrays works by combining plasma torch and mass spectrometer; plasma torch vaporizes and ionizes material, and mass spectometer converts it to basic storage form, which can be converted to materials for later use

Plasma Bomb launcher uses plasma from Bomber's fusion torch drive, venting it into self-contained magnetic sphere mounted aboard direct fire missile / bomb; at impact, sphere ruptures and releases near-fusion (in other words: f*ing hot and f*ing dense) plasma in a single burst

Ion Cannon is a particle beam using supercharged ions from Capital Ship's main drive
