Aedan Von: The Rising Sun
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
• Intent: To create an upgraded version of the DKS-S 32 Turret
• Image Source: N/A
• Canon Link: Bowcaster: A weapon that fires projectiles enveloped with energy.
Geonosian Sonic Blasters: This was a weapon used by the Geonosians that contained a plasma containment chamber, which was where the sonic energy was condescended in.
Primary Source: GS-3 Rifle. I suppose this is a primary source in order to evidence a similar device having been used, with the same mechanics.
The DKS-32 Turret has an ion cloud as well.
• PRODUCTION INFORMATION
• Manufacturer: Drakos Systems
• Affiliation: Closed Market
• Model: Achilles Turret
• Modularity: N/A
• Production: Limited
• Material: Duraplast, Durasteel, Alusteel.
TECHNICAL SPECIFICATIONS
• Classification: Defensive Turret
• Size: Average
• Weight: Average
• Ammunition Type: Slugs
• Ammunition Capacity: 50k slugs
• Reload Speed: Slow
• Effective Range: Average
Stopping Firepower: High
• Rate of Fire: Slow
• Recoil: None
SPECIAL FEATURES:
-Features standardized stuff you'd see in turrets, including an advanced targeting computer, etc.
Strengths:
• It’s chief strength is probably the fact that it is effective against ray, ion, and particle shields.
Weaknesses:
-Can't be used on any ships
-Like any other ground emplacement, it is vulnerable to pinpoint attacks.
-Fires on burst mode, low firing rate.
-Has no ion resistance.
-It can overheat if constantly fired.
-Low ammo capacity for Turret.
-Primarily used against starfighters, and similar sized ships. Not useful against something higher than that.
DESCRIPTION
From the creation of the sonic/slug hybrid, as well as the deck cannon, Drakos Systems has gained a well-known reputation for creating hybrid weapons that meet a variety of tasks. The Achilles Turret is the latest in it's long history of developing such weapons as the company seeks to gain a foothold on the ever lucrative defensive emplacements market. [/font]
Like a verpine shatter gun, the slug is pro-pulsed electromagnetically. It then enters an both ion and plasma contained chambers, the slug being clouded with both iron and plasma clouds respectfully. With this, the weapon can easily become a favorite for defense against enemy ships on bombing runs, transportation ships, among other interesting scenarios where it can be useful.
Despite the unique feature of the weapon, the engineers recognized that the ship itself had a variety of features. Despite the sturdy materials that were used, the ship is still susceptible to both ion, projectile, and plasma-based weaponry due to its lack of shielding. In addition to that, due to the different containment chambers used, the turret's targeting components only at burst mode, not at an automatic fashion similar to many similar weapons like CIWS systems, and mass drivers. Unlike the deck cannon used by Drakos Systems, it cannot be used on any ships. The ship also does not have any built-in ion resistance. The turret is also a ground-based emplacement, featuring the standardized weaknesses including vulnerability to pinpoint attacks such as bombing runs, etc.
