From X-NEWS Issue 8 - Photon Pulse Cannons wrote: First Developed by Professor Jo Bydnah of the Argon, the Photon Pulse Cannon became a favourite of the Argon Military, who then sold the original designs on to the other races. This type of weapon is extremely powerful, and can only be fitted on the larger Capital craft. It works by sending highly charged photon radiation through a series of coils that multiplies the charge, creating a very deadly pulse of radiation. Other versions of this weapon include a super-conducting coil set and a proton filter that makes the weapon more effective against hull and shields. The stations that produce them were originally Weapons Research Laboratories for Argon scientists; they are now home to the production of Photon Pulse Cannons that can be used on most capital ships. Professor Bydnah still works on updating the PPC weapon and has recently become the head of the Argon Weapons Research in Omicron Lyrae, and represents the Grand Sonra University.
