The Shield Breaker Beam is designed, as its name suggests, to take down a target's shields quickly, without causing damage to its hull and internal systems. This Confed Milspec weapon is different in fundamental design and superior in nearly every respect to the functionally similar Disruptor Beam.
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.
