Sonic Disintegrators are based upon Disruptor technology and rely upon a powerful sonic wave that can shatter armor and smash enemy equipment with severe vibrations. They are typically very large and powerful weapons. In vacuum, the sonic waves are cleverly encased in a short-duration magnetic shell that stretches to reach an enemy ship. The end of the beam that strikes the target is opened, allowing all of the sonic energy to be dispersed against its outer hull. In atmosphere and the usual planetary magnetic field, the containment field is relaxed somewhat to increase accuracy. Disintegrators can stun enemy crewmembers like the old Sonic Disruptors, but usually smash them into pulp instead. The intensity of the beam is such that hull armor is often atomized at the point of impact, effectively ""disintegrating"" the targeted ship section and causing much consternation to the aliens stationed nearby.... Heavy Sonic Disintegrators are big, bulky and ugly. Crewmen call them Warthogs and love the things.
