−	== Description ==
−	The '''Tight-Stream-Electro-Magnetic-Pulse Cannon''' (TSEMP) is a directed energy weapon that was created by the Republic of the Sphere. It's based on the [[Word of Blake]]'s [[BattleMech Taser]] system, but doesn't require the cabling and capacitors used by the Blakist system. The TSEMP Cannon is a multishot version of the TSEMP One-shot weapon. When fired at a powered combat unit of less than 200 tons, the TSEMP can force the unit to shut down completely or interfere with targeting systems, sensors, and other electronics equipment. Special armors and defenses like the [[Blue Shield PFD]] have no effect on this effect.<ref name="FM:3145p245"/>
−	The ability to shut down an opponent is useful, but there are several drawbacks. The TSEMP Cannon uses capacitors to charge and if these are hit by hostile weapons fire they will explode in the same way as a [[Gauss rifle]]. The unit mounting the TSEMP Cannon suffers from sensor and electronic system interference every time it fires the TSEMP. The capacitors used to charge the Cannon also require time to recharge between shots, so an operator will have to wait ten seconds between shots. Furthermore, the TSEMP Cannon's power requirements mean it can only be used by combat units with a fission or fusion engine.<ref name="FM:3145p245"/>	+	==Description==

−	*; RISC Repeating TSEMP: An experimental version of the TSEMP that could fire once in every turn, the TSEMP never left the prototype phase before the Black Out hit, and hence it hasn't seen a lot of use. Aside from its faster firing, the Repeating TSEMP has identical gameplay and construction rules to the TSEMP Cannon.<ref>''Interstellar Operations,'' page 94</ref>
