- Siaber Crystal Power Generator - The heart of the new weapon, the Siaber Crystal that powers each turbolaser is the reason why it has enhanced firepower compared to its predecessor
- Enhanced Stopping Power - Due to the Siaber Crystal that powers each turbolaser and the modifications done to the internal components, the weapons have a greatly increased firepower
- Enhanced Rate of Fire - Due to modifications done by Aurora engineers, each turbolaser has a greatly enhanced rate of fire
- Broken Crystal - Siaber Crystals, if broken, tend to vaporize anything within a given radius depending on the size of the crystal (15 meters for the crystals in these turbolasers
- Reduced Range - Because of the modifications done to the turbolaser to increase its rate of fire and firepower, the Scorpii cannot target anything beyond close range. If an enemy is at medium range, they will take reduced damage, and long-range targets are completely safe
As Aurora Industries continued their modernization project, the engineers in the company began designing a new turbolaser to go along with the company's newer weaponry. While a new long-range turbolaser had been created, the engineers decided to develop a strictly close range weapon for up close broadside actions during naval combat.
The AW-Tx02 "Scorpii" Turbolaser was thus created, boasting a greatly enhanced stopping power and rate of fire over other turbolasers. Siaber crystals, as always, were at the heart of the new weapon, but the scientists at Aurora had modified several of the internal components of the turbolaser to create the effect they wanted, such as enhanced capacitors and galven coils.
