Ok, from my only source of B5 Wars info ATM (a copy of the 2nd ed. rules
compandium) - and shortening it.

In essence, up to 4 lightning cannon (the 'prongs' on the front of a
vorlon ship) can be combined into 1 weapon, as follows:

1 lightning cannon can act as an anti-fighter weapon, 2 or more,
combined, have longer ranges, and do more damage than the sum of their
individual attacks.

It could be a pain to balance - but it has potential - and people keep
saying the UN SDN looks like the Excaliber - but I don't really see that
myself.
