Fed Artillery Name

[NarnKar]

So the Federation's Artillery Beam is frequently referred to as the Vindicator Beam, but where did the name come from? As far as I can tell, it's nowhere in the official documentation, referenced only by members of the modding community...who started the phenomenon?

I'm pretty sure the artillery beam was originally called like that before AE came out, probably in the system description, I don't fully remember. But you are right, the term does not appearer anywhere now. So I guess the defs changed that.
