- Each ion cannon (part of the Orbital Defence Matrix) circles Earth on a geosynchronous orbit. It has become the signature weapon of the Global Defense Initiative ever since its introduction during the First Tiberium War. It is capable of obliterating any location on the world with a precise, calculated strike of unforgivingly destructive power.
- The Ion Cannon is an antiquated weapon used by Rocket Raccoon.

- An ion cannon is a beam weapon that fires beams of ions (atoms or molecules with an electrical charge). An ion cannon is a type of particle cannon; only the particles used are ionized. Due to their electrical charges, they have the potential to disable electronic devices, vehicles, and anything else that has an electrical or similar power source. 1
- The ion cannon was a new development made by scientists of the Klingon Empire, a ship-mounted directed energy weapon utilizing ion technology, outfitted on the Klingon Negh'Var-class heavy carriers. The weapon fired a single powerful burst of energy that did a great deal of damage to enemy targets, however, once used it would take some time before the necessary power levels were restored for the weapon to be used again. (TNG game: Armada)
- In Deadlocked, Ratchet could use The Harbinger to call down a strike from a horde of orbital Ion Cannons. In A Crack in Time, Azimuth used his ship's Ion Cannons, to help Ratchet defeat the VX-99 in Axiom City. It was used to destroy the VX-99's outer domes. While the actual Ion Cannon did not make an appearance in Into the Nexus, a turret was used to duplicate it's role in destroying the Biobliterator in the Intergalactic Museum of History.
- An Ion Cannon is a weapon using Ion Energy
- The ion cannon is the most accurate cannon of its class. Thanks to its robust construction, it is optimally armored. The ions are generated by an overload of negative charge carriers, which can be accelerated even more by enriching the ions with antimatter.
- The Eta-2 Actis-class light interceptor featured ion cannons that shot bursts of plasma that would cause temporary electrical disruptions to a target upon impact.
- Ion cannons were powerful Tollan weapons used for planetary defense against an incoming orbital attack.
- A Ion Cannon was a weapon that was able to stun a ship or another type of electronic equipment, leaving it unable to opperate efficiently. The effects of an Ion canon were usually, slower engines, no shields and slow, limited or non operational weapons, however sometimes vessels could lose life support and other systems as well.
- The ion cannon was a multi-scale weapon which could be fitted, in varying sizes and power levels, to just about any kind of starship, from small starfighters to the largest capital-class warships and space stations. Small-scale ion cannons were also used by various military organizations and/or criminals.
- Ion cannons were a form of weapon primarily used on starships.
- ATTACK: Attack 1 ship. If this attack hits, the defender suffers 1 damage and receives 1 ion token. Then cancel all dice results.
- The Ion Cannon was the primary defensive weapon of Tarsonis.
- The Ion Cannon is a weapon in the Epic Battle Fantasy series. It is a massive, space-bound laser.
- An Ion Cannon is most commonly deployed as a primary turret weapon for a Hammerhead gunship in place of a Railgun. Whilst an Ion Cannon lacks the raw power of the latter armament, it makes up for it with its higher rate of fire. Extremely effective against foes such as power-armoured Space Marines and light vehicles, an Ion Cannon is more than capable of vaporising all but the most heavily armoured of infantry and vehicles. Tau aircraft also commonly make use of Ion Cannons as primary armaments, with Barracuda air superiority fighters deploying a nose-mounted and pilot-aimed Ion Cannon as their primary dogfighting and ground attack weapon. Tiger Sharks are primarily armed with twin-linked Ion Cannons for use in a ground-strafing role, and both Morays and Mantas make use of batteries of net
- In science fiction an ion cannon is a beam weapon that fires beams of ions (atoms or molecules with an electrical charge). Due to its power it is usually classified as a superweapon. An ion cannon is actually a type of particle cannon; only the particles used are ionized. Due to their electrical charges, they also have the potential to disable electronic devices, vehicles, and anything else that has an electrical or similar power source. The science fiction inspiration for this effect arises from the particle cannon developed by Nikola Tesla which fired ions into the ionosphere which charged them further, when repeated the energy generated would have been great enough to cause significant electrical damage. Because of their classification as super-weapons, ion cannons have found their way
- Short Description The Ion Cannon fires a continuous beam of accelerating ions, causing considerable damage to objects it strikes. Long Description An ion cannon is a weapon that fires beams of ions (particles, i.e. atoms that have been affected in some way as to cause them to gain an electrical charge). The Ion Cannon is actually a type of Particle Cannon; only the particles used are ionized. Due to their electrical charges, they also have the potential to disable electronic devices, and anything else that has an electrical or similar power source, using a phenomena known as the the Electromagetic Pulse (EMP effect). Due to the cannons highly improved shielding system, this cannon provides improved protection for your larger, more destructive defense weapons.
- The Ion Cannon is a defensive structure, well known for its relatively high Shield Power. Despite its description, it does not "disable" attacking enemy ships. Since disabling attackers is not an option in the O-Game battle system, the high shield of the ion cannon is its way of implying it "disables" attackers by using ions. Probably it was the only way to make the idea of ion weapons fit in the battle system.
- The Ion Cannon is one of the more powerful weapons to be seen in Homeworld. Through the use of an accelerated particle beam, the ion cannon is capable of penetrating even the toughest of Capital Ship armor. Its firepower is matched only by the Heavy Missile, an anti-capital ship weapon developed by the Vaygr, and exceeded by the Phased Cannon Array. The ion cannon itself is believed to have been first used by the Bentusi, and then traded to the Kushan people in the Great Wastelands. The Taiidan received no such Bentusi assistance and acquired the weapon through their own research.
- The Ion Cannon is a turret in Unreal Tournament 2004. "An exact replica of the Ion Cannons used during the Skaarj War battles. During the 10 days siege, Ion Cannons were placed in the heart of major cities as a last hope to slow the Skaarj progress. While providing huge firepower, Ion Cannons also caused many human casualties with their large blast radius." ―UT2004 manual
- The Ionic Particle Cannon, also known as the Ion Cannon, is created by Rauther Power Industries. It is claimed by its manufaturers to be one of the most powerful and most accurate directed energy beams in the galaxy, although this claim is highly debatable. There are three versions of this weapon: one is regarded as illegal by the Federation, whose patrol craft will attack if they detect it installed on your ship, the legal version is available in the Federation storyline and comes pre-installed on some ships such as the Manticore, and the third is only found on the Heavily Modified variant of the Pirate Enterprise. The Ion Cannon is a blind-to-rear turret, meaning that if the target is behind the ship, or if no target is selected, the Ion Cannon will not fire as it is mounted on a 270 deg
