Revision as of 19:30, 12 January 2005 by SchmuckyTheCat (talk | contribs) (ugh)(diff) ← Previous revision | Latest revision (diff) | Newer revision → (diff)The Yamato weapon is a concept in science fiction. The name is used for a weapon that is extremely powerful but requires considerable time to charge while leaving the ship powerless and vulnerable.
Examples include the Babylon 5 spinoff Crusade, the Terran Battlecruiser in Starcraft, even the Death Star ray in Star Wars.
The concept was introduced in the Space Battleship Yamato anime series, hence the name.
