Overview

A weapon equipped on medium-sized ships for brushing off attacks from fighters.

Encyclopedia Entry

A weapon found equipped on corvette or frigate-sized ships, used for fighter defense.

Developed from reverse-engineered Boron ion weapon technology, the Ion Shard Railgun fires ionised 'shards' of super-heated plasma, which are then accelerated to high speeds using magnets. This combination can wreak havoc on weapon systems.

Commentary

The ISR is a Split weapon that drains the laser energy of the target it scores. Despite low physical damage per shot, sustained fire can cause heavy damage on par with the Matter/Anti-Matter Launcher - however overall effectiveness may be limited by the weapon's relatively high power drain (a limitation not shared by the ammo-based MAML).
