Name: Particle Uplink Cannon
Origin: Command and Conquer - Generals
Type: Precision Guided Satellite Assisted Directed Energy Weapon, Superweapon
In Use By: United States of America
Notable Features: Unleashes a powerful energy beam towards a satellite system which redirects the energy towards the intended target with pinpoint accuracy, can trace the beam through the terrain for more wide-spread damage.
Weaknesses: If the control and particle launch station (which is on the ground) is hijacked the enemy is free to use this weapon. Requires satellites put on geostationary orbit synchronized with the cannon's angle for any effective use of this weapon.
Destructive Capacity: Small town level (in the low kiloton range, based on the box art of the game's expansion)
Speed: Immobile (it's a stationary building), the satellite is supersonic as it moves parallel to the Earth's rotation speed, the beam itself is at least sub-relativistic
Range: Can at least accurately aim its beam to tens of thousands of kilometers, thanks to the satellite systems the weapon has effectively intercontinental range
Durability: Building level (can withstand a tactical nuclear strike in-game)
Needed Prerequisite for Use: Having the authorization codes to fire the cannon.
