Information: This ship's sole purpose is to obliterate Planets surfaces from the sky. Aswell as crush attacking Capital ships. And though they may seem lightly armed. Our newest weapon makes up for it, in sheer force.

These new weapons are called Gamma Beam Projectors. They are in a line of weaponry that Mandalore Inc. has been producing, and though they all may be difficult to create. Once we piece together the puzzle, we bask in their benefits. They are superweapons, of course, we are pointing out the obvious when we state that. But thats what we create best.



The concept design of the Projectors was rather simple. Our workers are truly devoted to these types of things. So, lets see how it works. First, we needed a Parent Nucleous (Cobalt-66) And a Daughter Nucleous (Ni-60). After we had managed to piece those into hour Beam Projector, through nanotechnology, and just hard work with long hours. We had to make a completely new computer chip for the weapons. That we've dubbed MS-Gamma-0098.--1. With that chip, we forced a decay reaction through the nucleous'. Thus making them become 'excited' after the reaction had been completed. This means that the decay has resulted in producing a nucleus which still has excess energy to get rid of. Rather than emitting another beta or alpha particle, this energy is lost by emitting a pulse of electromagnetic radiation called a gamma ray; Like all forms of electromagnetic radiation, the gamma ray has no mass and no charge.

The Gamma Beam interacts with material's by colliding with the electrons in the shells of atoms. And through the intense surge of high voltage energy that the Gamma Beam creates, it causes whatever it interacts with, to melt to nothing, almost instanly. This is what we loved so much about the weapon. For instance, since this is just a Beam of energy, it completely bypasses all types of shields. Which is perfect for combat situations. In one of our tests, we managed to complete destroy an Executer Class Star Destroyer (Through simulation). It's effects on organic materials, such as humans, was bizarre, only because it did not melt them as it did metals. Instead, their skin began to wither, then turn black, and finally gleam of bone was all that was left.

We will speculate no further on this weapon, only say that we are currently tossing the idea of making these into Rifles, Turrets, and Droid Add-Ons. Expect to see more of these weapons, in future Mandalore Inc. Projects.
I'm thinking this is entirely impossible because of Nllkon and the stardestroyers that surived it's high energy. And that this is 25,000 years behind. Also if I'm correct Gamma has a poor pentration factor. Even the armor would be enough to stop it let alone the sheilds. Plus the BS factor is this post. I don't think colbalt-66 and Ni-60 can produce this much energy.
Although I know very little about nuclear reactions. (Still have yet to graduate Highschool) I still think this is Bullshit. Can anyone help me refute this.

Actually, gamma radiation has one of the highest penetration factors. Alpha particles have the worst penetration; they can be stopped by a sheet of paper. Gamma radiation requires mass quantities of concrete and lead to properly contain. Of course, these are for RL radiation types. If he's referring to some trekspeak-like different type of gamma rays then he can make up whatever the hell he wants, sadly. But shielding will stop pure energy rays, there is no doubt of that. He just pulled that completely out of his ass.

The parent nucleus Cobalt-66 producing a daughter nucleus Ni-60 is bogus. For starters, you don't combine parent and daughter nuclei in a reaction; the daughter nucleus is what's left of the parent after the reaction is complete. Furthermore, I'm pretty sure that Cobalt would have a hard time producing Nickel. I'll get out my physics notes and make sure, but I'm fairly certain that that's bull.

There are others on this board who are far more qualified than me to answer, starting with Mr. Wong. They'll give you a wealth of stuff, I'm sure.

Well, gamma radiation does have an excellent penetration factor when compared with other types of radiation, but it would almost certainly be stopped very effectively by armor and shields on large capital warships. There is a high degree of bullshit, in that post, however. Your brain is not deceiving you: the guy is being a dumbass. Not only is he a spectacular minimalist, but I also find it funny that he claims bones would be left after absorbing so much gamma radiation so as to vaporize the rest of the being! Moreover, gamma radiation does not melt metals "into nothing" as he claims. The mechanism behind his weapon is so incredibly flawed as to be not worth delving in to, suffice it to say his most serious error was probably his claim that Ni and Co can combine in any way, shape or form (made all the more galling by his claims that a daughter and a parent nuclei combine in a reaction to form radiation).

What I meant by low penatration factor is about light waves not radiation and that is why it won't penatrate sheilds. It seems only UV and lower frequencys can go through sheilds

Technobabble and Star Wars mix poorly. It's way better just to say that it's a "Mark III Gamma-Pulsar" and that it can melt crap better than a superlaser than try to make up a bullshit scientific-looking explanation.
