Editing Deep Site Meson Weapon

[[File: Imperial Sunburst-Sun-IISS-Traveller.gif|right]]
[[Deep Site Meson Weapon]]s are one of the most common defenses deployed as part of [[Planetary Aerospace Defense]] networks. As a result of their ability to fire through normal matter, [[Meson Accelerator]]s are a favorite weapon of planetary defense forces throughout charted space. By burying a large meson weapon and support facilities deep below the surface, and connecting it via secure links to sensor sites scattered all over the planet, it creates a weapon which is virtually immune to counter-attack. In addition to being very difficult to detect, only another meson weapon can attack them, and a planetary meson gun is generally bigger than anything a starship can mount.

== Description ([[Specifications]]) ==
Deep site meson weapons have two weak points: 
# The sensor network used to aim the weapon is vulnerable on the surface. While having multiple sites can reduce the vulnerability, a determined planetary bombardment will render the site blind. 
# Second is the [[neutrino]] signature of the [[fusion]] [[power plant]] which powers the weapon. Large scale meson accelerators require large amounts of power, and the usual source is one or more fusion reactors. It is standard [[Imperial Navy]] tactical doctrine to target fusion power sources as a way of silencing these weapons.
