ADVANCED SYSTEMS
Hyper Particle Cannon:
The MPC-1 Eyayah Hyper Particle Cannon, know as the "Echo" to those who don't speak Mando'a, is a super massive cannon designed to be mounted to capital ships. This 200 meter, power hungry weapon was designed specifically for the Firebrand, creating a weapon that would essentially be a space sniper rifle. Powerful, long range fire at the cost of a slow rate of fire, and an energy weapon that still has a massive recoil.
When fired, the Echo unleashes a pale yellow particle bolt at speeds much faster than a typical capital ship cannon. The bolt packs massive power, and explodes on impact. This bolt has been shown to do extensive damage to a target's armor and shields. The weapon does begin to loose out at close ranges though, it's slow reload meaning anything that equips it will generally remain at long ranges to make up for the lack of firing speed.
Ablative Armor:
Designed as a light, effective armor solution for starships, this ablative armor was created by engineers at Concord Specialized Technologies to be used on their craft to help protect them from blaster, laser, and turbolaser fire. While the combination of material is very common, there use has not really been needed for centuries for most hyperdrive capable species. Using this plating, ships can get a temporary, but effective layer of protection against enemy fire.
Strengths:
- Powerful main gun.
- Long range fire and scanning.
- Ablative armor.
- Slow rate of fire for main gun. High power requirement per shot slows the rate of fire.
- Limited ablative armor. Each plate can only last two to three hits by energy weapons.
- Cannot fire other weapons while firing hyper particle cannon.
Along with the main cannon, the Firebrand has multiple turbo, ion, and laser cannons to help defend the vessel at close range. While these weapons are still powerful, they are secondary to the main cannon. The lack of heavy turbolasers can be a drawback, but they're able to deliver fire when needed. The vessel is also defended by both durasteel and ablative armor. These ships are generally unleashed in packs of three or more, allow the ships to cover one another, and let the vessels deliver a more continues barrage of particle fire.
To assist in defense, the Firebrand has a two half-squadron hangers. The hangers are allocated for support craft.
