What is the behavior of the Artillery Beam targeting?

What is the behavior of the Artillery Beam targeting? - Antelope Canyon

The Federation Cruiser's Artillery Beam fires automatically without allowing you any targeting preferences. I've had it cut through most rooms of the enemy ship, or just a few. Is there any means or method to how it chooses to lay the line of it's beam or is it random? Is there a minimum\maximum number of rooms it can hit?
