The '''GTW-5 Prometheus''' is a [[Primary weapon]] which was developed and used during the [[Great War]]. Its combination of heavy hull damage and wide compatibility made it the weapon of choice of [[GTA]] pilots during the latter parts of the Great War.

==Tech Room Data==
Named after the Titan who gave fire to humanity, the Prometheus is a laser-based weapon - an advanced radar and X-ray tracking system lock on the target and determine the target's material structure - argon laser focused via transparent ceramic optics - the laser is generated at the destructive frequency (full out-of-phase) for the target's material structure - emitted no more than .02 ms after targeting and activation by the pilot, the Prometheus stands as one of the GTA's most effective deterrents to enemy attack, an effective form of defense for GTA pilots, and as a durable, portable, and highly destructive offensive tool.<br><br>
The Prometheus works best against target hulls. Against shields, it only achieves mediocre performance. It's slow speed and high energy consumption work against it as well. However, the primary advantage of the Prometheus is that it can be equipped on almost any fighter in the GTA.

==Veteran Comments==
''The Prometheus is the best all-around weapon you will be issued in FS1, and remains quite formidible in FS2. A good gun to have, though the power requirements in FS1 can be somewhat daunting oh higher difficulties.''
