- The Sound of Mother Nature: The sheer output of this weapon matches it's name. Firing it within any atmosphere causes the sound of firing to reverberate through the air for miles, sounding like a volcano going off.
- Dedicated Sensor Array: Designed within the Thunderer, the turrets feature a dedicate sensor array for the gunners to double check the work of the bridge of whatever the Thunderer is attached to, allowing for better accuracy.
- Big D Energy: The Thunderer acts as not only a deterrent for opposing forces, but as a massive moral boost for friendlies. Just the sight of them can keep friendly ships happy.
- Superior Firepower: The Thunderer was designed with GA doctrine in mind. Big Guns with Big Battles. With the practically bottomless defense budget of the largest player on the galactic stage, the GADF threw everything at the wall with this one. The Thunderer lives up to it's name, and output.
- Ion Variant: The Thunderer does come with a variant of it, dedicated to knocking out enemy shields with a full volley.
- Double, or Triple?: The Thunderer comes in dual and triple barrel configurations, allowing for space conservation if needed, such as on heavy walkers.
- Dedicated Power Banks: The Thunderer requires it's own power supply to function with such high output. Knocking those out would in fact, bring the thunder to an end.
- Slow to Fire: The Thunderer, with such high output, requires a slow rate of fire to keep the barrels from overheating.
"Hehehehe, big gun."
Occasionally, the fact that Si Tech's lead designer is a 14 year old shines through. This was one of those times. The Thunderer was designed not as a tactical advantage, but as Rara flexing her intelligence for her own amusement.
That said, the design was still a marvel of GA engineering. The massive cannons were designed not with any other purpose than acting as a forward battery for starships and siege walkers. With a low fire rate, the Thunderer acts as the new standard for turbolasers within the GA, and can be used with impunity for opening barrages, and exclamation points in battles.
