About Ion Cannons
Ion weapons are anti-ship and anti-vehicle weapons designed to disable rather than destroy their targets.
The negatively charged particles interfere with a target's electrical systems, shorting circuits, corrupting computers, and forcing system shutdowns in an effort to subdue a target or make it easier to destroy via more traditional means. Although designed to do little-to-no physical damage to targets, collateral damage such as fried circuits, fused joints, and even fires may occur due to the intense energy surges.

About Turbolasers
Massive, heavy-caliber weapons with incredible energy requirements, Turbolasers are the largest weapons mounted to starships.
Turbolasers can punch clean through an opponent's shields, armor, and hull with a single blast; the lightest easily hulling small ships and the heaviest battering down the defenses of the largest cruiser. The trade-offs are their heavy power requirements, their slow recharge time, and their difficulty in tracking and hitting small, fast targets like starfighters.
