Metal Crystal Phase Shifter (MCPS)
The MCPS is a superweapon capable of altering the molecular structure of metallic substances. The purpose of the weapon is to be able to penetrate the shields of a starship and damage its hull; once encountering the area of the phase shifter's effect, the metal within the target's hull would be turned into powder and thus be weakened greatly during the attack. While the MCPS doesn't dramatically turn an entire ship's hull into powder, it does create many tiny cracks and weak spots throughout the hull, which was sufficient to make the vessel lose critical structural integrity and collapse on itself.
