Gen Particle Cannon firing.png|The Particle Cannon (Command & Conquer: Generals) fires a sustained particle beam from its satellite/radar dish part up to an orbital mirror that reflects the beam back down onto enemy positions. The mirror can be remote-controlled by the commander to slowly move the beam, hitting more than one target.
