Ion Cannon

From Guide

The Ion Cannon provides a colony with the ability to destroy any Nuke destined for the owner of the Ion Cannon's colony or outpost. The Ion Cannon, when fired on squads will delay the squad by 1 tick and will lower the HP of all the units in the squad to 1. Firing the Ion Cannon on colonies or outposts will randomly lower the HP of 10 units in the target to 1. It CAN be used to defend your ally only. It is one of the only defenses that can supplement a defender if his/her military is inadequate to fend off an attacker. The Ion Cannon cannot be prevented.
