Quark Gluon Plasma is know to Terran Physicist since before the Ascent. A quark–gluon plasma (QGP) or quark soup is a phase of quantum chromodynamics (QCD) which exists at extremely high temperature and/or density. This phase consists of asymptotically free quarks and gluons, which are several of the basic building blocks of matter

Quark–gluon plasma is a state of matter in which the elementary particles that make up the hadrons of baryonic matter are freed of their strong attraction for one another under extremely high energy densities. These particles are the quarks and gluons that compose baryonic matter. In normal matter quarks are confined; in the QGP quarks are deconfined. In classical QCD quarks are the Fermionic components of mesons and baryons while the gluons are considered the Bosonic components of such particles. The gluons are the force carriers, or bosons, of the QCD color force, while the quarks by themselves are their Fermionic matter counterparts.

Although the experimental high temperatures and densities predicted as producing a quark-gluon plasma have been realized in the laboratory, the resulting matter does not behave as a quasi-ideal state of free quarks and gluons, but, rather, as an almost perfect dense fluid.

The ability to carry force and reach temperatures of 5.5 trillion degrees Celcius was realized as a weapon potential in 4500 and was steadily developed into a unique Terran weapon. No matter not even Neutronium is able to withstand these kind of temperatures, delivered with a hefty kinetic impact. Energy shields are easily overwhelmed. The QGP Cannons recently developed and delivered to Army and Navy are among the most potent weapons and are second only to Translocators. The USS Tigershark is the first Ship equipped with Faster than Light QGP Cannons, where the Plasma bolts travel in a Transmatter tunnel bridging Space at trans light speeds. (FTL QGP) The Tigershark was also the first ship with QGP Plasma Rifles and QGP Plasma Mortars in the Armory.
