'''TSEMP''' ('''T'''ight-'''S'''tream-'''E'''lectro-'''M'''agnetic-'''P'''ulse) is an energy weapon debuted in [[3135]]. It is a long range weapon that has a low damage output. However, the weapon is essentially a focused [[w:Electromagnetic pulse|EMP]] burst, and has the ability to temporarily shut down any electronics.<ref>''Falcon's Prey'' rules insert for [[MechWarrior: Age of Destruction]].</ref>
 
 
 
The TSEMP cannon was developed by the Republic of the Sphere, and was based on [[Word of Blake]]'s [[BattleMech Taser]] technology. Early prototypes of the TSEMP cannons were used by the Republic Armed Forces during the Republic's Military Material Redemption Program to shut down privately held military equipment without inflicting a lot of collateral damage.<ref>''Era Report: 3145'', p. 121</ref>
 
 
 
The Republic developed two versions of this weapon: The [[TSEMP One-shot]] and the [[TSEMP Cannon]]. The early prototypes mentioned above were likely one-shot versions, as the TSEMP Cannon didn't enter service with the RAF until 3109.<ref>''Field Manual: 3145'', p. 245</ref>
