The booing from the EVE Vegas crowd should be indication enough.

IDEA: Graphical only - would function identical to all four races doomsday mechanics.

Erebus could create orbs or antimatter and detonate the orbs in a chain reaction. A good example would be the Shock Rifle from Unreal Tournament... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lCPIY-01Qmk

The idea would be the Erebus fires out several orbs along the designated path of the "beam". This phase would also be called the "warm up" in which ships would be notified where the beam is going so they can gtfo.

The next phase has several miniature lasers (or some visual effect) that project from the Erebus. This causes a chain reaction and the orbs begin to either explode or implode (implosion sounds more Gallente and matter / antimatter begin to react). Ships caught in the effect would take damage.

See the quick picture i made demonstrating how it might look. Forgive the crudeness.
