==Employment==
[[Leman Russ Executioners]] and [[Deimos Predator|Deimos Pattern Predator Executioner]]s are the only known users of plasma destroyers. They are highly temperamental and dangerous to operate and Executioner crews are often seen as foolhardy or insane. The [[Ryza]] pattern gun incorporates a heat shield to protect the crew from the wash back of the weapon and two coolant lines run from the back of the vehicle in case of emergency, although these can be cut by friendly fire. Often Executioners are abandoned at the first sign of trouble. Detonation of a plasma destroyer can lead to the destruction of the Executioner and often scorching the nearby area. Plasma destroyers are equipped with [[photonic fuel cells]], but commanders complain that they do not provide sufficient power for prolonged combat situations.<sup>1</sup>
