Maser Technology
A maser is a solid projectile launcher, sometimes referred to as a charric. Masers launch ionized masses from the cannon. This makes them a good choice against shielded or armoured enemies. The projectile being ionized means it is good against shields, and the projectile itself is good against the armour. Masers can be set up to capital ship grade weapons, these are called megamasers. They function in the same way, but larger and more powerful.
