Project Ikaros began where the Helios and Hyperion left off. By taking what Primo Victorian engineers knew and understood of solar ionization weaponry. Ikaros takes the concept of plasma disruptors and solar ionization and in this proof of concept weapon combines the two. Many of the Ikaros’ core components are based on the Helios Cannon’s components.
Ikaros starts with tibanna gas that is pumped into the heating matrix where tibanna is deliberately overheated. Once overheated the plasma gets sent to the housing unit where it waits for the solar ionized plasma. Solar ionized plasma comes from collected solar energy which is then sent through a particle accelerator and pushed out into the housing unit.
Once the solar ionized plasma is sent to the housing unit, it’s then forced into the reaction core. In the reaction core the overheated tibanna gas and solar ionized plasma meet and are then channeled down the barrel where galven coils create a cohesive beam.
The result of the combined energies is a solar ionized plasma disruptor beam that not only works to punch through conventional shielding but disrupt them on impact. The disruption creates weak points within the shielding itself. While the effects of the weapon on typical hull compositions including durasteel, superheats the metal on contact. This then creates a softer, pliable hull that may result in hull breaches when followed up by kinetic weaponry, or even other energy weapons if shields are unable to hold.
