Sonic Disruptors are improved versions of Stun Beams, creating a sonic wave that can shatter armor and smash enemy equipment with severe vibrations. 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. One interesting facet of this weapon is its effect on lifeforms, often stunning them into a short catatonia. Heavy Sonic Disruptors are considerably more powerful versions of the old MSD's.
