T-33 plasma torpedo

The T-33 Plasma torpedo was a projectile weapon designed to disable deflector shield systems and carried by the K-wing bomber. Sometimes known as "shieldbusters," "rotten eggs," or simply "eggs," the T-33 detonated at the shield perimeter and overloaded ray shields with a powerful cone of radiation. The radiation burst was described as "several times the output of a capital ship's ion cannon batteries," but this description has not been explicitly quantified.
