 Early particle weapons such as the Electron Beam Cannon were rushed into full production, offering moderate success at long range combat. To truly engage at a stellar range, however, a relativistic weapon with enough cohesion to reach out to light minutes were required. Early particle weapons such as the Electron Beam Cannon were rushed into full production, offering moderate success at long range combat.

-Neutral Beam Cannons in the form of Proton Beam Cannons were introduced 15 years after the first mass production model EBC. These hydrogen plasma particle cannons could accelerate a beam at 30% the speed of light with enough cohesion to damage a target a light minute away. Due to limitations with focusing, acceleration, and targeting, this range could only be achieved against non-maneuvering targets.+Neutral Beam Cannons in the form of Proton Beam Cannons were introduced years after the first mass production model EBC.

 Second generation NBCs could reach up to 99% the speed of light with reasonable efficiency, but mass deployment was interrupted by The First Virtual War. Second generation NBCs could reach up to 99% the speed of light with reasonable efficiency, but mass deployment was interrupted by The First Virtual War.
