Blacklight Cannons are upgraded versions of the old Crystallizer technology. They continue to fling forth a ray of negative energy, freezing the target with supercold particles. The Blacklight Cannon, however, is far more effective, inducing the creation of extremely damaging crystal patterns even on the inside of targeted systems but launching blacklight energy in a series of more potent bursts instead of a continuous but weaker beam. Hull structure, armor or general equipment struck by the bursts can become very brittle or be destroyed out right, and often detonate or shatter as a result of the crystallization within their very structures. Personnel are often frozen on the spot. Even if the damage is not realized immediately, ships hit by enough of these weapons can suffer long-term structural integrity problems until fully repaired. Blacklight Cannons are awesome weapons that could proudly be deployed as the mainstay of any fleet.
