	The '''''Bull Frost'' Tactical Beam''', also known as the '''TerSlashBlue''', is a tactical slashing beam cannon used by the [[GTVA]] in the [[Portal:FreeSpace 2\|FreeSpace 2]] mod [[Blue Planet]]. The ''Bull Frost'' has damage ratings similar to the [[MBlue\|''Aurora Wake'' beam]], as well as the same effective range, but exhibits a much shorter recharge time and beam lifetime. It serves as the primary armament of the [[GTCv Diomedes\|''Diomedes''-class corvette]] and secondary armament of the [[GTD ~~Raynor~~\|''~~Raynor~~''-]] and [[GTD Titan\|''Titan''-class]] destroyers.
