Refinement tube

A refinement tube was a component used in the Emperor-4 beam tube. Twelve refinement tubes were installed in the weapon, and the components helped to create and focus the high-energy particle beam in conjunction with four energy cyclers and four low-grade crystals. The refinement tubes were sensitive and easy to knock out of alignment. Reconfiguring the tubes to allow the weapon to function took almost four hours.The Essential Guide to Weapons and Technology
