Quantum maelstrom

The quantum pulse generator generates a short-term quantum maelstrom that interferes with various processes needed by modern warpcraft. The mechanism allows the firing of missiles that, upon reaching their destination, detonate to unleash this maelstrom. It causes all ships in the near vicinity to be completely separated from the rest of the real world. Attacks cannot go into or out of the area; ships cannot either. Everything within is frozen in time for a period of approximately 5-10 seconds, depending on the strength of the blast.
