Canon Link: N/A
Primary Source: N/A
Manufacturer: CIS
Affiliation: CIS, Allya Vi'Dreya
Model: Crash-Class Mass Hyper Velocity Cannon
Modularity: Must be placed on a Battlecruiser or larger ship
Production: Semi-Unique
Material: acid coated glitter, weapon components, Tungsten, Ion Bomb, shielding components
Classification: Super Heavy Hyper Velocity Cannon
Size: Extreme
Weight: Extreme
Ammunition Type: A tungsten shell, filled with Acid Glitter and a powerful ion bomb.
Ammunition Capacity: 3
Reload Speed: Very slow
Effective Range: Extreme
Rate of Fire: Low
Stopping Power: Extreme
Recoil: Average
Particle Shielding
Filled with Acid Glitter, able to eat away at the armor.
Contains a massive Ion Bomb.
Heavy Tungsten Outer Shell
Fire Power: The heavy Tungsten shell is flung at a measurable fraction of the speed of light at its target. First the particle shields impact against any shields that the enemy ship may have, causing far more damage to them. Then the shield fails, and as it hits, the massive ion bomb inside explodes sending out an ion wave, that is perfect for ripping through powerful shields, and disabling sensitive electronics and equipment. After, the target is then coated in acid coated glitter that begins to dissolve armor.
Long Range: This weapon can be fired from extreme distances with great accuracy, due to the sheer speed and sophisticated computer systems involved in it.
Weaknesses:
Very Low reload speed: When it's three shots run out, it takes quite awhile for it to reload, due to the size of the shell
Poor Rate of Fire: It takes quite some time for the computer systems to calculate the next shot, meaning it doesn't attack as fast as it could.
DESCRIPTION
After being denied her more whimsical product, Allya fell into a melancholy. Rather than give up, she gave the CIS and the galaxy exactly what it asked for. A powerful, and horribly inhumane weapon. The specially designed shell is made of a dense tungsten metal, designed to crush upon impact, which allows for the activation of the Ion Bomb. As the massive ion bomb inside detonates it causes a powerful ionic burst, designed specifically to take out shields and equipment such as gravity well projectors. When it's launched, it is initially coated in a semi-weak particle shield, which allows it to impact the enemy shields far harder. When the ion bomb detonates, it releases its acid coated glitter all over the enemy. If able to pass through the shields, the acid coated glitter adheres to the hull and begins to eat away at the armor plating there, further weakening the ships defenses.
However, the effects differ greatly when it is in fact launched at the ground of a planet. The heavy, fast moving object, moves into the atmosphere fast faster than normal, the particle shield helps keep it from burning up the atmosphere, but doesn't allow it to slow down due to the drag. As such, when the heavy object impacts, the force of the hit can devastate parts of a city. However, after the shock wave, the ion bomb explodes, and takes out vital infrastructure, like power, computers, droids and vehicles, in the blast zone. After, a massive amount of acidic glitter is spread into the air, to float around. As it lands, it begins to eat away at metal, duracrete and flesh alike. If it happens to be breathed in, the glitter can prove especially damaging to the lungs.
The launching mechanism, takes advantage of specialized magnetic and tractor beam fueled rails, that push the ball up to a fraction of the speed of light, allowing its impact to be great. It connects to the ship's computer systems and sensor systems, and has advanced target finding programs, that allow it to attack accurately even over massive distances.
No longer was this an act of whimsy, it was an act of war.
