Husk-Slice

== Description ==
This massive beam weapon is relatively ineffective against shields, but cuts through hull armor like it's made of paper.
== Location ==
The Korath Slicer cannot be purchased but can be looted from Kor Mereti ships.
== Information ==
The Husk-Slice and its turreted variant are a mainstay weapon within the Kor Mereti fleets. As its description notes, the Slicer is one of the worst weapons in the game in terms of shield damage per ton, but it excels in hull damage. Combined with the power of a Shield Disruptor Turret, which occupies the other half of the Kor Mereti warships' primary arsenal, it is a deadly weapon.
The Slicer inflicts 20.7% more hull damage per ton than the next strongest human beam weapon, the Electron Beam. However, as with all Korath weapons, it generates a huge amount of waste heat, though fortunately it drains relatively little energy.
Like its Kor Sestor counterpart, the Thermal Repeater, the Slicer operates in a burst-fire fashion, even though it is a beam.
The Slicer gun is notable in that it can only be found on the very smallest Kor Mereti ships, the Model 8s, which act as mining vessels and appear behind the front lines in the Kor Mereti's eternal conflict with the Kor Sestor.
The Slicer Turret is normally found on Kor Mereti warships, Models 16 through 512. Each generation of ship adds one more turret to the arsenal, alternating between adding Slicer Turrets and Disruptors.
Neither Slicer weapon can be obtained without attacking and plundering Kor Mereti ships.
