Lance

From Lexicanum

A Lance is a large, spaceship mounted weapon, often seen on various Imperial Navy vessels as well as on several Traitor vessels. The ability to efficiently produce long-range lance weaponry by Mars is perfected in late M37.

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.
