I don't remember the specifics, it was a one-off thing that somebody cooked 
up for that particular scenario.  I remember it being a fixed point weapon 
that rotated with the planet or moon that they simulated by saying it 
changed hexes once every X number of turns that it could fire on.  I don't 
remember it being area-effect enough that it could stop fighters (and 
indeed, I wound up taking it out with a single fighter dropping into 
atmosphere to shut it down, IIRC) but I don't think it ever missed.  It did 
like... 2d6 damage, I think.  Not insignificant for FT2, and enough that the 
scenario runners told me afterwards that most of their playtests had the 
side evacuating the scientists winning because of it and they'd actually 
nerfed it a little for that.  It wasn't good enough that the opposition 
flying their two highest firepower ships off the table didn't basically kill 
their shot at winning in the actual con game though.
