SPECIAL FEATURES

• Space or Surface - The Howler can be mounted on a ship or used with an immobile ground mount for fixed defences.
• Armoured Casemate - The Howler's Casemate is made from Doonium and Tungsten, making it tougher than average.

STRENGTHS

• Agrocite Crystals - The Howler uses Agrocite crystals in its focusing array, enhancing its damage potential.
• Armoured Casemate - The Howler's armoured casemate, made from a mix of Doonium and Tungsten, makes it more durable than the average turbolaser.

WEAKNESSES

• External Power - The Howler must be hooked into an external power source, either a ship's reactor, power grid, or mobile heavy power generator. Cutting its access to this power can disable the gun without ever needing to risk damage by directly engaging it.
• Slow turning speed - Due to its weight, the Howler has trouble turning and tracking fast, light targets.

DESCRIPTION
The Howler is meant as a basic Heavy Turbolaser Cannon for Eclipse Industries to use in future projects, either to mount on in-house ship designs or as a base for further modifications to produce specialist weapons. It comes with the option to be installed on a ship or used in a ground mount. Either option for installation comes with an armoured casemate for the gun, making it tougher than opponents may expect, though with the downside of slowing the gun's tracking speed.
