Couple of questions pertaining to the future.
-We see in a previous chapter that a frigate scale prototype Thanix can shoot right through a turian battleship hull, with internal and external kinetic barriers and silaris armor.
That said, what’s the difference in destructive power between the reaper version, the organic reverse engineered dreadnought version, and the frigate version?
Other question, how are you planning on having Cerberus get their hands on this weapon when last we saw it’s in secure turian space?

The Thanix weapon actually doesn’t scale up much in power, only in the size of the impact –something Thanix Palavanus will be disappointed to find out.
Thanix Frigate sized guns are about half as powerful as dreadnaught guns. This is IMPORTANT as it allows the larger masses of smaller ships the allies have to actually have an impact in the main Reaper fight, rather than only dreadnaughts having the firepower to do so (and makes sense, given how the weapon works).
That being said, a Thanix cannon doesn’t possess the Godpower-enhanced energy field or time-tweaking value of the full Reaper weapon, and is based on the weapon Nazara had, which was deliberately stepped down in sheer power and didn’t include the focusing arrays. A Reaper’s main gun is about five to eight times more powerful than the most powerful Thanix projector.
Tha main difference between the frigate and dreadnaught is how much and how often it can fire. A frigate can only store a very small amount of liquid iron slurry, a dreadnaught has space for lots and lots.
Reapers create it with Godpower, and have unlimited ammo.
The Thanix cannon designs will be “obtained” through Vigil, of course. No one else does any work around here.
