Shockwave Generators are based on the old Sonic Disintegrator technology, relying upon a powerful sonic wave that can shatter armor and smash enemy equipment with severe vibrations. They are typically very large and powerful weapons, and are much more efficient.. 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. Shockwave Generators can stun enemy crewmembers like the now-ancient Sonic Disruptors, but usually smash them into tiny bits of pulp instead. The intensity of the waveform is such that hull armor is often atomized at the point of impact, effectively imploding the targeted ship section and causing much consternation to the aliens stationed nearby.... Shockwave Generators continue the tradition of being big, bulky and ugly. There is no official nickname for this beast, but most crewmen call their weapons Brutus or alternately Princess, for no apparent reason.
