Description:
Made for one purpose, to devastate the battlefield. The fight with the sith showed they liked to land troops en mass and this could wipe out battalions of them. Built in a solid durasteel casing with Illerium to provide propulsion and a fast, powerful small explosion. A highly explosive twenty five gram depleted baradium slug is fired at five kilometer's a second creating a powerful explosion on par with a high yield thermal detonator.

Basaba saw the adaptability of the One Sith and the heavy armor of other groups. While their military was effective and soldiers built for war that didn't mean facing large fifty mter tall leviathans was fun. Choosing not to rely on tanks that could rust she built with her sisters working the parts and the Yaim'la's machine shop to the limit. The prototype model might not be the prettiest but there are two cannons made for use in the field.

With the death of Gil and all the other problems she didn't reveal it instead focusing on making sure the Willamina clan was safe and secure over going after titles. Her sisters problems a threat to the clan that would have to be dealt with and that would prove a great way to test the cannons when it came time to avenge her old life and family so she could move on and join her sisters properly.

WIth more work and build up of the equipment Basaba and Levy worked with Matsu to develop the cannon into a more powerful weapon as they worked on some of the things. Stronger ejection of the slugs through magnetic coils to increase exponentially the speed of the slug firing and having it able to detonate before the trigger is released. Reloading it takes time still but the frame is sturdy while being lighterweight from the materials.

Please remove the "Most" from the effective range, the effective range is where it is most efficient at.

Also, a bit of a suggestion on your maximum range (the effective is fine) - I suggest lengthening it considerably to at least 5 km (5000 m) due to the velocity of the bullet and the energy that it will retain as it moves. For example, at 1400 m your round will still be traveling at 1569.76 m/s (1.5km/s). While the speed of the round will decrease quickly for a short term, the decrease will fall gradually rather than continue at the same pace. So if it were to start slowing by 60 m/s, it would eventually slow by a proportionate 12 m/s once it has gone from 0 m (Slowing by 60 m/s) to 1400 m (Slowing by 12 m/s). After 5000 m the decline becomes a bit iffy, so I would suggest cutting it off there, but you can certainly rationalize it having a much larger range than what you are asking for due to the velocity of the bullet at an astounding 5 km/s. (For perspective, most sniper rounds fire at 0.93 - 2 km/s)

Also, the weight of this gun will need to be considerably larger for something firing a bullet at this speed unless you wish to add a weakness for an obscene recoil. I suggest upping the weight to 16 kg (For perspective, a Barrett M82 is 14 kg.)

I also suggest upping your effective range to 2000 m, referencing the above referenced weapon.

Okay. After some thinking, I believe that I may need another development thread, of just ten posts, for the acquisition of the chemicals you made mention of.

Approval Without Development Thread

• Remove Illerium
• Remove Baradium

Approval With Development Thread

• Include a short 10 post thread involving the testing of Illerium and the depleted Baradium due to their volatility.

[member="Darth Sinna"] thread made and tested the shells on some Raven's. Shattered a sisters collarbone from recoil and tested it against a small shuttle.

Thank you. Pending secondary.

You will absolutely need power armor to fire this.

Approved.
