Alpha High Energy Plasma Thrower

The official statement on the Alpha High Energy Plasma Thrower is as detailed below:

The Beta High Energy Plasma Thrower is a larger and more deadly version of this fearsome weapon.

The High Energy Plasma Thrower is one of the oldest energy-based weapons to date, though it had to remain in prototype testing for a considerable amount of time. Even when it was released, it required incessant maintenance, making it quite unpopular despite its enormous combat proficiency. It wasn't until 420 when the Boron recognised the opportunity to use their regenerative technology to develop an organic, self-maintaining filter. From this point, the HEPT became the common weapon of choice in many of today's battles.

It is a deadly weapon found on some larger fighter craft and on some destroyers. The radiation is so dangerous that the weapon had to undergo many years of research and development until it could finally be placed on the market. This was worked around by adding a radiation sink into the weapon's main design; thus purging the weapon of all excess radiation between shots.
