[edit] Description

The Ion Cannon was developed by R & D teams at Defiance Industries Furillo plant. The goal of the project was to create a non-lethal weapon capable of destroying battle armor without harming the pilot. It proved successful enough at disabling Battlemech equipment to warrant production.

[edit] Game Effects

When a Battlemech body location is hit with an Ion Cannon, roll for critical hits (at -2) on that location. If successful, roll as normal. Each indicated system is knocked out for 1D6 turns. Battle armor is shut down and considered destroyed on 10+ on 2D6. Protomechs shut down for 1D6 turns on 10+ on 2D6. Vehicles and conventional aircraft are unaffected under CBT rules.
