Personally I would love to dump the energy web concept, it was just a
naff statement to cover and sfx screwup.I actually think that the Pulse
cannon armament of the Pollux in Face of the Enemy was a much more
reasonable rear armament for the Omegas, still it appears to be canon
now (no pun intended)....AOG use it sooooo.....
