History
Point Singularity Projectors were distinctive elements of what was known to be Magog technology. (Episode: All Too Human) After the Long Night, the Spirit of the Abyss gifted the bounty hunter Jeger with a Point Singularity Projector which he used to attack the Andromeda Ascendant in order to capture Seamus Harper. The vessel was ultimately destroyed by the Glorious Heritage class cruiser. (Episode: Harper 2.0) Sometime afterwards, the Andromeda Ascendant encountered the Magog Worldship which fired a Point Singularity Projector that crippled the ship. (Episode: Its Hour Come Around at Last) Despite this initial damage, the Andromeda Ascendant managed to survive and evaded further weapon fire after which it managed to escape into slipstream. (Episode: The Widening Gyre) Following this event, an intact Magog Swarm Ship was discovered to be in the possession of the inhabitants of Machen Alpha and it was believed that the Magog willingly gave the technology to the planetary government in order to turn them against their neighbours. The advanced technology in the vessel including its Point Singularity Projector were reverse engineered to create the planet killing starship known as the Basilisk. This vessel attempted to destroy the planet Mobius that was part of the newly restored Systems Commonwealth but Captain Dylan Hunt managed to cause a volley of PSP weapon fire to be drawn into a slipstream portal after which he had the Andromeda Ascendant destroy the Basilisk. (Episode: All Too Human)
The planet Empyrium was subject to a raid by the Magog who seemingly left behind a Point Singularity bomb on the world which detonated after their departure. This created devastating planetary changes that slowly destroyed the world as it was covered with environmental disasters forcing the inhabitants to abandon Empyrium. (Episode: What Happens to a Rev Deferred?) At some point, the cyborg engineer Kroton was tasked by the Spirit of the Abyss to construct a new Worldship which was done so on the moon Septa Parsis of Perliss Mott. One of the protrusioms of this effort was a Point Singularity Projector that was only partially completed. The new Systems Commonwealth discovered the Projectors existence and dispatched a team consisting of Molly Noguchi along with combat engineers as well as a PS scientist. However, the crew crashed on the moon where they were attacked constantly by Kroton's androids leaving Molly the only survivor. Eventually, the crew of the Andromeda Ascendant discovered the true nature of the Point Singularity Projector when the World Ship was unleashed. (Episode: Waking The Tyrant's Device)
Overview
These devices were powerful as well as sophisticated weapons which were able to fire miniature blackholes and were portable enough to be fitted on small ships thus providing them the firepower to combat vessels much larger. Due to its nature, the projectors bullets often exerted a tremendous gravitational force that was able to effect even the Slipstream thus providing a means to track down starships using these weapons. (Episode: Harper 2.0) They effectively fired point sized black holes which could not be shot down or deflected with bigger targets suffering from more severe damage. Sensor scans on the battlefield often registered the presence of a gravity well of a planet being generated when this weapon fired giving the impression that a vessel was firing planets.
