A '''Lance''' is a large, spaceship mounted weapon, often seen on various [[Imperial Navy]] vessels as well as on [[Chaos|Traitor]] vesselsships from other factions. The ability to efficiently produce long-range lance weaponry by [[Mars]] is perfected in late [[M37]].<sup>1</sup>
The principle of such a weapon is an extremely high-powered energy beam; the efficiency of a Lance turret is increased by the incorporation of several smaller beam projectors into a single, focused beam. The resulting weapon is capable of incinerating straight through the armoured hulls of other vessels as if it was irrelevant.
