  • Hyper-Ionized Class-D Disruptor Bolt
    
    • Considered to be the primary energy module, this module manifests a hyper-ionized disruptor bolt that deals damage via a veritable hammer blow of concussive shock (kinetic energy), the searing release of unstable, nonharmonic disruptor energy which can excite and destabilize matter on the atomic level to produce significant atomic obliteration capable of vaporizing virtually all types of materials (including heavy armor), and finally ionization energy which can disrupt electronics and overload energy shields in the manner of an electromagnetic pulse. Of particular significance, the bolt has an explosive effect upon connecting with a shield or solid object, including energy fields.
  • Class-D Plasma Disruptor Bolt
    
    • The Class-D plasma disruptor module manifests a fractal electro-plasma discharge that deals damage via three components: raw electricity, nonharmonic disruptor plasma, and kinetic energy. The raw electricity portion can superheat materials, short out / overload electronics, and injure crew through electric shock from ultra-high-density electrical current. The nonharmonic disruptor plasma component can simultaneously destabilize and superheat matter on the atomic level to produce significant atomic obliteration and thermal energy release. Finally, the kinetic energy stemming from a veritable hammer blow of concussive shock and overpressure can produce extreme shockwave damage effects. Of particular note, the electro-plasma discharge can “leap” from one target to another, giving the potential for chain effects.

STRENGTHS

• All Environment: The FAE/SW-17 is capable of firing in virtually all environments, including underwater and within dense mediums.
• Opposing Charge: On both of its energy modes, the FAE/SW-17 has the potential to inflict devastating effects on energy shields by overloading and super-ionizing them. In this, the weapon is quite notable for its extreme efficacy against shielded targets.
• Extreme Power: As a Class-D disruptor, the FAE/SW-17 sits in the apex category of disruptor weaponry, generating such extreme nonharmonic energy pulses that it has the potential to inflict atomic annihilation on organic and inorganic matter. Thus, the SW-17 quite convincingly manifests extreme overkill potential when utilized against small craft, corvettes, and vehicles, while also being capable of dealing significant damage to capital ships with repeated fire.

WEAKNESSES

• Technological Corruption: Like any piece of technology, the FAE/SW-17 is susceptible to mechu-deru and other technology-corrupting powers. If left unprotected, a practitioner of such esoteric sorceries could induce a jam or some other failure that might compromise the weapon entirely or demand precious time to fix, leaving the user vulnerable.
• Chain Reaction: In the event that the weapon sustains damage to the power unit or the Ethaerium gas cell, a fantastic explosion may ensue that has a very high chance of outright crippling the host vehicle. While the FAE/SW-17 has safety systems that work to prevent total annihilation from such an event, in the heat of battle, even these measures can fail.
• Crew Service: If utilized as a crew-served weapon, it can take time for the weapon to be prepared for firing. If the HAPU Power unit is "cold" it can take up to five minutes for the weapon to be ready to fire, though this represents the highest extreme.
• Mechanical Mutation: Like any piece of technology, the FAE/SW-17 is susceptible to mechu-deru and other technology-corrupting powers. If left unprotected, a practitioner of such esoteric sorceries could induce an overload or some other failure which might compromise the weapon entirely or demand precious time to purge, leaving the user vulnerable.

DESCRIPTION
The FAE/SW-17 Transcendent Disruptor Cannon is a modernized disruptor cannon, taking design elements from the older FAE/SW-05 “Mayari” Transcendent Disruptor. The SW-17 model notably features upgraded targeting systems, an energy module system, and a more streamlined design. With its two energy modules the weapon has additional versatility. The default hyper-ionized Class-D disruptor mode deals damage through nonharmonic thermal energy, kinetic energy, and ionization energy effects, while the Class-D plasma disruptor mode manifests electrical energy, nonharmonic thermal energy, and kinetic energy primary effects.

Like all First United Astral Engineering cannon designs, the SW-17 is highly modular. The weapon can be fitted with supplementary equipment and its electronics linked to various onboard systems. It can be placed in turrets of up to ten identical weapons—dectuple cannon batteries. In addition, various systems can be stripped as needed or desired.

For ammunition, the SW-17 makes use of First United Astral Engineering’s new cartridges, which include gas, power, and coolant in a single small package.

All in all, the FAE/SW-17 Transcendent Disruptor Cannon is hoped to provide an ultra-lethal armament option for exclusive and elite users who need extreme firepower in a standard-sized package.
