The entry in the weapons.tbl for the SRed is as follows:
$Name: SRed
+Tech Title: XSTR( "Shivan Light Plasma Beam", -1 )
+Tech Anim: none
+Tech Description: XSTR( "This is a cruiser-scale beam weapon of Shivan origin, capable of firing a continuous, charged beam of plasma. The technological superiority of the Shivans is best demonstrated in their beam weapon technology, and the lightest of the plasma beam variants is no exception. It is smaller and lighter than Terran and Vasudan beams, has a notably shorter rise time, and does significantly more damage. Lower power and heat sink demands allow these weapons to be used en-masse, where they can pose a significant threat to even destroyers. The firepower and efficiency of Shivan beam weapons seems largely attributable to the zero-point-microburst effect seen in various other Shivan weaponry. Attempts by the GTVA to reverse engineer this technology for large weapons have proven fruitless.
As with most Shivan targets, prioritization and elimination of plasma beam weapons is quite paramount.", -1 )
