	''On the first comment, emphasis on the "roughly"--the BGreen does less than half the sustained damage and is only comparable in damage per pulse.

	''On the first comment, emphasis on the "roughly"--the BGreen does less than half the sustained damage, and is only comparable in damage per pulse. Where the BGreen takes 30 seconds to fire again, the LRed can (depending on the difficulty) fire in as little as five seconds, or even one. The major difference between the LRed and BFRed is that the LRed is a terror over time; the BFRed comes close to killing an Orion in one shot, and the Sathanas mounts four of them. If you ever encounter a Ravana or Demon, your top priority should be to take out their LRed beam cannons as quickly as possible, because otherwise they will tear your ships to shreds in short order. Oh, and why the Lilith--one of the smallest canonical cruisers period, and identical in appearance to the tiny, weak Cain-class--mounts one of these terrors is something of a mystery, especially given that it (and the Lilith) appears only once in FS2, and seems to be tasked with finishing off a few smaller Allied warships and drawing you away from the Colossus. It nearly has the durability of a Deimos corvette, with the combined firepower of a Hecate destroyer, the maneuverability of a cruiser, and is the size of a Fenris.''

	~~==Description==~~		The '''LRed''' is a heavy beam cannon used by the [[Shivans]] in [[Portal:FreeSpace 2\|FreeSpace 2]]. Two of these cannons are mounted on the [[SD Ravana\|SD ''Ravana'']] and [[SD Demon\| SD ''Demon'']], and a single LRed forms the primary forward firepower of the [[SC Lilith\|SC ''Lilith'']]. The LRed is best known for having virtually no recharge cycle, a characteristic shared by the much more powerful [[BFRed]]. It is often considered to be the Shivan counterpart to the [[BGreen]] and [[BVas]].
