Pulse weapons are a type of energy weapon utilized on the Aurora-class battleships and cruisers utilized by the Asurans, though they are presumably equipped on the Lantean variants of these craft as well.
Overview[]
Visually, these weapons resemble bright yellow bolts of energy. When fired in succession, they are capable of destroying a shielded Traveler generational ship or heavily damaging a Wraith Hive ship with several shots. These weapons are, however, less effective against the advanced Asgard shields of the Daedalus-class vessels. (SGA episodes: "Aurora", "Inferno", "Be All My Sins Remember'd", "Lifeline", "This Mortal Coil")
