Gallente

By using reverse-engineered Sleeper technology and advances in focused magnetic fields, this weapon emits a beam of antimatter that is capable of obliterating an entire capital ship. Notes: This weapon can only fire on ships that are capital-sized or larger. After firing, you will be immobile for thirty seconds and unable to dock, tether, cloak, or activate your jump drive for five minutes.

Gallente Federation intelligence agencies were not slow in responding to the massive efforts of the Amarr Empire to develop capital ships and weapons fit to meet the threat of the Drifters, and any other emergent threats that might use similar weapons and battle doctrines. Consequently, the Federation Navy soon acquired the basic principles of the ‘Reaper’ beam technology and developed their own thermal energy variation. This weapon was designated ‘Guillotine’ in reference to the bladed execution weapon once used by the Gallente Federation’s homeworld precursor, the Garoun Empire. Note: Activating this module triggers a massive capacitor disruption wave that impacts ships in the immediate vicinity of the Titan, friend or foe. After firing, you will be immobile for thirty seconds and unable to dock, tether, cloak, or activate your jump drive for five minutes.

The Gallente Federation was the first of the other empires to acquire the ‘Reaper’ directed energy beam technology developed principally by the Amarr Empire. Seeing an opportunity to modify the device into a powerful variant focused along a specific target line, the Federation’s weapon labs came up with a capital level ‘Thermal Lance’ that they dubbed the ‘Phalarica’. The Amarr were quick to see the potential and, after analyzing the focusing method used by the Gallente, quickly created their own variant of the weapon, followed swiftly by the other empires. Note: Activating this module triggers a massive capacitor disruption wave that impacts ships in the immediate vicinity of the Titan, friend or foe. After firing, you will be immobile for thirty seconds and unable to dock, tether, cloak, or activate your jump drive for five minutes.

The Gallente Federation follows the other ‘Big 4’ empires in claiming that it independently developed its ‘Disruptive Lance’ technology but no doubt obtained a great deal of useful material from black market sources trading in stole Caldari State capital research program data. Federation military-industrial efforts have been strongly focused on upgrading and expanding their already impressive capital ship fleets, perhaps to the exclusion of other areas such as Stellar Transmuter technology, and an advanced dreadnought development program was certainly already in progress. The Federation’s ‘Sarissa’ Thermal Disruptive Lance emits a supercharged plasma energy beam as a carrier of specific disruptive energy patterns at ultra-high intensity and will disrupt warp and jump drives, prevent docking guidance and tethering connections, and massively inhibit the effectiveness of external repair beams. This comes at the price of an attenuated and less focused thermal destructive effect but the tactical opportunities of the weapon are considered well worth that trade. Due to the extreme energies involved in the operation of this module, a disruptive lance can only be fired when in siege mode, and ships with this module fitted are unable to activate cloaking devices. Note: Activating this module triggers a massive capacitor disruption wave that impacts ships in the immediate vicinity, friend or foe. After firing, you will be immobile for thirty seconds and unable to dock, tether, cloak, or activate your jump drive for 2 minutes.

Adapted from advanced research into natural wormhole phenomena, this module wields an Erebus' massive Magnetometric sensor array to bend local space and affect the properties of all nearby vessels. The effects of this phenomenon impact both friendly and hostile ships, altering the entire battlefield in subtle but significant ways. Clever fleet commanders can take advantage of these effects to ensure victory, even against insurmountable odds. Affected ships receive: +30% armor hitpoints +10% explosive resistances -15% thermal resistances -10% remote shield booster effectiveness
