- Excellent Against Armor: Designed to punch through tough and energy resistant armor, the Firtina Heavy Autocannon is the bane of vessels with such equipped if used appropriately against ships of medium size.
- Weak Against Shields: Like a large amount of kinetic weapons, it is weak against deflector shields, and should be used in conjunction with turbolasers to overcome to this weakness.
A triple-barreled, medium caliber cannon that fires a burst of standardized kinetic shells at medium range. It is most effective versus enemy armor and especially energy resistant armor schemes such as those made out of Phkalt Metal. A great fire support weapon yet much heavier than its cousin the Tureng, it is typically fitted on corvettes, destroyers, cruisers, and even on Star Destroyers at times: a battery of Firtina autocannons is something no opposing captain should make light of.
