Secret IC: The TRSN has deployed Capital Force Beams in several of its Deep Space Task Forces to aide them in battle and serve as field testing. These are a modification of Tractor Technology dependant on our Magnetic Technology.

OOC: Declared because I realised I hadn't before, and I didn't want trouble.

What are these exactly? Tractor beams for towing or crushing or what?

That's not very specific. And to cover yourself it is better to have some kind of specs.

These weapons work on the same principle as tractor beams, but are much more powerful. They grab hold of pieces of the target (like a gun battery, a command superstructure, or just a chunk of hull) and rip it forcefully from the ship. They can also reverse polarity and be used to batter the ship like a big giant hitech club. And, they can be used to hurl arleady removed pieces of ship into other objects (like the same ship). As to be expected, they are pretty short range, but their power is devastating.
