Quantum Disassembler

Background
The Quantum Disassembler is a weapon running on the Birdlandian Quantum Weapons Charging System. This variant of the Quantum Ship-mounted Weapons range is powerful enough to distort and bypass most shields, as well as tear apart molecules and atoms into elementary particles. It was introduced as a weapon to effectively destroy UFE and GATO nuclear missiles without triggering the nuclear ignition process. It is also used as an anti-starfighter weapon in space.

Design and development
The Quantum Disassembler Anti-Starfighter Programme began in Cycle 38846291, with the main task of providing an effective Anti-Missile/Starfighter defense system for space and land assets. Type 1 is a more basic version, equipable on many Starfighters, although it is mainly an anti-shield system to soften up the target's defence before the main laser/energy cannons equipped do their damage. Type 2 is the medium sized version, allowing frigates, blockade runners and Destroyers to mantain a sustainable offence/defence ratio.Type 3 is a larger mount for capital ships and carriers. It can carry out all functions and has the added ability to carry out a spread shot in a cylinder of height 5 km and radius 800 m. Type 4 is the final type, and is only installable on land. It focuses its shot into one concentrated beam to destroy missiles and other kinetic projectiles.
