The Experimental Protomatter-Laced Sheller is an Experimental Weapon for starships originally of Tzenkethi design. The protomatter-laced payload it delivers is split between Kinetic and Radiation Damage. While capable of firing in a full 360' arc, this weapon was specifically designed by the Tzenkethi to be more accurate and deadly when firing on foes in your forward targeting arc. As such, it gains a scaling base damage bonus based on your targeting angle, maxing out if you are directly facing the target.
It is obtainable from the Tzenkethi Shuk-din Escort, and can be equipped on any starship capable of utilizing Experimental Weapons.
