Strengths:

  • Stoppage: Utilizing a dedicated power generator in conjunction with tibanna gas lines, the Hawkthorne hits harder than most standard ion cannons.
Weaknesses:

  • Limited Range: While powerful and capable, the Hawkthorne is limited to standard range in combat and is restricted by its 90° elevation.
DESCRIPTION

In part of the movement away from Aurora Industries technology, Chief of Operations Ryssa Yvarro moved to create the first in Primo Victorian’s own starship mounted weaponry. The Hawkthorne Ion Cannon which draws primarily from the Helios Solar Lance and a standard ion cannon, with small influences from the Hydrus itself.

A powerful ion cannon that utilizes the Boreas crystal and Energy crystal to not just draw heat away from critical components but to more efficiently channel it. This allows the Hawkthorne to hit harder than most ion cannons, making it feel like a heavy cannon when it hits.

A drawback to the stopping power of the Hawkthorne, however, is the range of the weapon. While it can fire beyond standard range of combat it does so ineffectively as it loses its beam cohesion even with a galven coil as part of the overall build.

Notably, ion cannons fire in ‘pulses’ or ‘bursts’ the Hawkthorne with the galven coils is able to produce a more refined/cohesive beam.
