- Uses the antiparticle of a proton to generate a powerful negatively charged high energy pulse that can be directed through differing means either theoretically as a propulsion, energy production, or weaponry.
- Extremely high energy discharge upon the annihilation of proton and antiproton
- Antiproton energy can be contained within a magnetic field which is able to extend the lifespan of the annihilation over a considerable distance.
- The lifetime of an antiproton annihilation is short, in the example of a weapons system, from the moment of firing the life of the shot would dissipate over distance, the further the target the less energy the impact will have
- Antiparticles are inherently unstable, any contact with matter will result in a catastrophic detonation as such a strict vacuum must be maintained around the anti-particle at all times.
- Due to the instability and the nature of antiparticles this technology cannot be used in a non-vacuum environment
In the continuing arms race between the Galactic powers, Elatar Enterprises recognized a need for a more potent yet portable weapons system, and through much trial and error their research and development team came up with the idea of using the antiparticle of a proton, an antiproton as the basis for this new weapons system. When an antiproton collides with a proton a massive amount of energy is discharged, an antiproton annihilation can be observed in a gamma-ray burst where the energy is contained within a magnetic field and travels for a significant distance before the energy finally dissipates.
An antiproton is just a single piece of a gamma-ray burst but it is where the high energy potential comes from, by itself, it has no cohesion and requires a method of containment to make feasible its application to military needs. In early tests wrapping antiproton annihilations in a magnetic field has proven quite effective.
