Ether Cannon
From Warhammer 40k - Lexicanum
Ether Cannons are deadly weapons used by the mysterious Fra'al race. Most often equipped to their Battlecruisers, these cannons fire a beam of pulsed energy. The Ether field in these beams corrode the hulls of spacecraft, ignoring their shields. These weapons also produce the side effect of overloading the shields of the target, allowing the Fra'al Battlecruiser to follow-up the attack with a volley of Lance fire. Even the Eldar have found this terrifying weapon to be a threat to their ships.[1]
