Intent: vehicle piercing round, and delivery system for Pistoeka sabotage droids (Buzz Droid).
Development Thread: 'If Necessary'
Manufacturer: Junkards
Model: 'N/A'
Affiliation: Hutt-Cartel, Jackals, and any sub-factions under the cartel/people given express permission.
Modularity: The components are modular, and while the core components e.g. launching mechanism and the funnel connecting it to its launch cannot be replaced, only the outer-casing and other less sensitive parts may be swapped out. The 'buzz cannon' can only shoot/launch 'buzz capsules'.
Production: Minor
Material: 'Durasteel, blaster components. And other miscellaneous metals and wiring'
Classification: Cannon
Size: Ship-Mounted/Mounted
Length: 11.15 m
Weight: 3.16 m
Ammunition Type: Buzz capsules: Power cell, gas canister holds the fuel and ignition for launch, while the ammunition 1.7 meters in height and carries six Buzz Droids, it has a pointed tip that when in contact with a hull it begins to burrow into it, either being destroyed on impact or injects cargo.
Ammunition Capacity: Single shot, it cannot be Heavy or Long Range.
Effective Range: Equal to other Capitol Ship Mass Drivers
Rate of Fire: Half that of a Standard Mass Driver
Special Features:
The Buzz cannon is a featureless cannon that launches 1.7 missiles in height, Power cell, gas canister, hold the fuel and ignition for launch, and carries six Buzz Droids, it has a pointed tip that when in contact with a hull it begins to burrow into it, either being destroyed on impact or injects cargo(Buzz Droids).
The primary point of the 'Buzz Cannon' is to launch a payload of six Buzz Droids into opposing vehicles, either causing havoc through coordinated attacks on personnel or ship components, e.g. wiring, life support, air supply, and anything vulnerable in the vicinity.
Description:
Suddenly a cannon-shot resounded; a round cylinder whistled above his head, and carried off a part of the hull. He turned around quickly. There was a slender tube stuck in the adjacent wall, a cap fell off its head and one ball rolled onto the floor and a second ball, and finally a sixth rolled into the ship where he stood, they rolled around the room circling him. They popped open and he knew "Buzz Droids!"
The cannon is cylindrical in design, made of organic shapes and steady inclines, its head is long and protrudes out sharply. The ammunition was made of a sharp head with two deviders that part and pull apart hull, with both pincers and drills.
Strength:
Chaos: Most people don't expect killer balls from outer space, least of all killer droid balls from outer space. They cause havoc and disillusion, targeting crew and sensitive circuits, the reaction time is esential and depending of it damage can range on minor to major.
Sensitive: The Droid's capsule may hit sensitive rooms, e.g. command bridge, armoury and weapons bay, causing the droids to attack sensitive location and subsequent major damage.
Weakness:
Random: While the capsule can be shot with some degree of accuracy, it suffers from locational specific difficulties, such as tougher hull towards certain area of ships and vehicles, and less vulnerable areas for the Droids to wreck havoc.
Chance: The missiles impact and projection can come under question, from speed, location and unforeseen difficulties. There's a one out two chance that the capsule will explode on impact causing both missile and Droids to perish.

Note, Junkards and myself will not be producing the droids they will be supplied separately, this is only for the capsule and cannon itself.
