- Pinpoint: The Firebearer CIWS has excellent turning speed, making it deadly against agile and fast-moving starfighters.

The Firebearer Close-In Weapons System is a fully automated laser cannon chaingun system designed to serve as a close range complement to flak cannons and point-defense laser cannons on capital ships or large fortifications. Compared to a conventional point-defense laser cannon, the Firebearer has a significantly higher rate of fire, making it especially effective at intercepting missiles and light, agile starfighters.
While intended primarily as a point-defense weapon for warships, the Firebearer can also be used as an effective offensive weapon against infantry and light armor when equipped on an elevated turret or vehicle.
