Now that the SoM is out one of the things I have noticed is the use of TL12 damper technology to revolutionise the tech paradigm.
The meson gun appears at TL11, but the modern consensus is that what we understand as mesons are not involved
At TL12 the meson screen becomes possible, nuclear dampers, fusion+...
So the breakthrough in GUT appears to be TL11 with the "meson" gun.
What if greater understanding of the fundamental interactions begins with manipulation of the combined electroweak force which allows for pentaquark guns, or pentatop quark guns. These could be disguised as meson research.
A bundle of pentatop quarks decaying inside an enemy ship would disrupt the nucleons of a few atoms, which would begin a chain reaction that fizzles out after a while but not before making a mini-nuke go off inside the target.
TL12 adds strong interaction manipulation to the GUT technology, making the TL12 stuff (dampers, screens, fusion+)
