In-game Description

The Kha'ak Kyon Emitter is relatively weak, yet devastatingly accurate. In swarm formation, the Kha'ak can bring the Kyon Emitter to bear in numbers that can become lethally effective.

The Kyon Emitter has also been seen, and in some cases salvaged, in a format comparable to Medium Class conventional weapons. As expected, this larger format is more damaging.

Tactical Overview

The Kyon Emitter of the Kha'ak was once a feared and devastating beam weapon that ripped capital ships and stations apart.
But today, it has been left behind by technological advances and is one of the weakest weapons found in the galaxy.

While the damage output is meager compared to modern weaponry, it shouldn't be underestimated. The Kha'ak swarm their target with countless fighters, and all that unavoidable beam damage begins to stack up quickly. 

Fighter pilots should try to avoid Kha'ak swarms as much as possible, lest they be focused down and destroyed surprisingly quickly.
Against anything larger, the Kyon Emitter already shows its age and struggles to do any meaningful damage.

 

Advantages:
- Perfect accuracy 

- Instant hit

 

Disadvantages:

- Very Low damage output
