	The '''''Winter King'' Heavy Beam''', also known as the '''HBlue''', is a heavy beam cannon used by the [[GTVA]] in the [[Portal:FreeSpace 2\|FreeSpace 2]] mod [[Blue Planet]]. The most powerful beam weapon system ever created by the GTVA, the ''Winter King'' is the signature weapon of the [[GTD Erebus\|''Erebus''-class destroyer]] and serves as the warship's main forward armament. While slightly inferior to the infamous [[BFGreen\|overloaded ''Crypt Hammer'' beam]]s used by the [[GTVA Colossus\|GTVA ''Colossus'']] in terms of raw damage output, the ''Winter King'' more than makes up for this with a shorter recharge time, greater sustained damage and an effective range that exceeds even the dreaded [[BFRed]]. However, the ''Winter King'' has yet to be fully tested, leaving its reliability in prolonged engagements debatable.

If there's any major problems with this weapon, it's that it is so rare, making its advantages over the BBlue less appealing because it rarely ever sees use.''
