A light cycle leaving behind a light ribbon.
A light ribbon is a near-impenetrable, temporary wall of light generated behind vehicles within the Tron system.
They are often used strategically in the Grid to derez opponents forced to crash into them. Light ribbons could also be generated by flying vehicles.
The low height of light ribbons allows some vehicles to evade them, and they can otherwise be avoided by waiting until they dissipate after a short time or steering clear of them. Light ribbons can also be destroyed by force from high impact collisions or weapons fire.
The light ribbon is the updated version of the Jetwall, and is transparent in its new incarnation, with a refractive index similar to that of water. This transparency therefore gives light ribbons a liquid appearance.
