These are plasma-based torpedo weapons that create bursts of Radiation specifically designed to overwhelm Starship Shields. The T-33 used by BTL-56 K-Wings is typical of weapons of this type. Against anything but a Shield Rating, Shieldbuster Torpedoes deal half damage. If an attack from a Shieldbuster Torpedo exceeds a target's Shield Rating, the target loses 10 points from it's Shield Rating (Rather than the normal 5). Shields damaged in this way can be recharged normally.
