- Affiliation: Imperial Commonwealth of Dosuun
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: CIW-NICHS-H2 “Hawkthorne II”
- Modularity: Yes
- Production: Minor
- Material: Durasteel, Canarocrite ore, baradium capacitors, composite recoil housing, Trinity-Core crystal array
- Classification: Ion Cannon
- Size: Large
- Weight: Heavy
- Ammunition Type: High-frequency ion pulse
- Ammunition Capacity: Large
- Effective Range: Long Range
- Rate of Fire: Average
- Damage Output: High
- Recoil: Low
- Trinity-Core Crystal System: Provides more coherent ion discharge with reduced energy scatter and improved waveform modulation.
- Canarocrite-Lined Firing Chamber: Increases heat tolerance and stabilizes ion beam intensity during extended combat.
- Eralam/NATASI Integration: Enables real-time discharge tuning based on shield harmonics and subsystem priority targeting.
- Multi-Mode Firing: Capable of sustained ion beam or burst-pulse bolt operation.
- Disables Subsystems: Powerful ion output disrupts shield generators, targeting systems, and propulsion.
- Efficient Beam Control: Thanks to the Trinity-Core, each shot is optimized for distance, frequency, and output.
- Low Heat Profile: Canarocrite ore allows sustained firing without severe thermal stress.
- Versatile Mounting: Suitable for destroyers, cruisers, and heavy frigates.
- Non-Lethal: As an ion weapon, it causes minimal hull damage.
- Susceptible to Armor: Cannot bypass armored hulls or ablative shielding without support.
- Exposed Casing Points: Requires careful placement; large emitters may be vulnerable on under-armored vessels.
- High Energy Draw: Ion modulation surges can overload weaker power cores.
The Hawkthorne Mk. II refines a mainstay of Commonwealth capital-ship ion artillery. Updated with the Trinity-Core crystal array and lined with Canarocrite ore, this upgraded system delivers higher-intensity ion pulses over greater ranges with tighter waveform control.
Capable of burst-pulse or sustained beam discharge, the Mk. II model integrates seamlessly into FleetNet and Eralam-assisted fire control systems. Designed to disable, neutralize, and soften targets before torpedo strikes, it’s now more efficient, better protected, and optimized for integration into next-gen Commonwealth warships.
