Protective shields all work along fairly similar principles: the interception and elimination of incoming energy using null-waves. A shield breaker rapidly attunes itself to an opposed shield's null-wave signature and enters the same phase, turning the shield from a subtractive waveform to an additive one. This causes a feedback loop that makes the average shield generator break down and call its mommy. Used against a solid target, the shield breaker is about as deadly as a flashlight.

This Highborn Milspec weapon was designed alongside the Lancelot superiority fighter. If nearly equivalent in fundamental design principles, its implementation and engineering is superior in nearly every respect to the Disruptor Beams it shares a common origin with.

In keeping with the naming of the ship it was co-designed with, the Shield Breaker is well suited to render any shield within reach quite humbled in but a small number of lancing blows.
