[SIZE=9pt]SPECIAL FEATURES[/SIZE]

• 
  [SIZE=9pt]Uranium core[/SIZE]
  

[SIZE=9pt]DETAILED SPECIAL FEATURES[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The HVC-117 utilizes a uranium core that is extremely volatile. The core is explosive and detonates on impact. The weapons is equivalent to about 30 turbolasers and upon detonation it release a electro magnetic pulse via radiation. Thus it has the capability to disable many technologies not fortified against such methods of attack, including some shields. On top of it’s EMP waves it also releases other forms of radiation effectively leaving wherever it hits a fallout zone. [/SIZE]

[SIZE=9pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The HVC-117 is a specialized Hypervelocity Cannon designed by Imperium Valete for use as a fortress defensive emplacement, siege weapon, and starship battery. With the need of more advanced weapons on the rise Imperium Valete began research into other forms of energy based attack. It discovered the potential Uranium had when weaponized and decided to capitalize on this. Thus the HVC-117 was made. Like most Hypervelocity cannons it fires explosive rounds, but these round utilize a uranium core. (Just like any other blaster, rounds may be replaced with other ammunition types, but the stock round is the uranium core slug)[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Strengths[/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]:[/SIZE]

• 
  [SIZE=9pt]Like most hypervelocity cannons, when mounted on a ship or placed in orbit it is long range[/SIZE]
  
• 
  [SIZE=9pt]EMP - Capable of disabling many types of electronics[/SIZE]
  
• 
  [SIZE=9pt]Radioactive rounds - Those that do not die from the intial blast may succumb to the radiation poisoning[/SIZE]
  

[SIZE=9pt]Weaknesses [/SIZE][SIZE=9pt]:[/SIZE]

• 
  [SIZE=9pt]Point defense weapons are able to easily target the large slugs and destroy them[/SIZE]
  
• 
  [SIZE=9pt]HyperVelocity Cannons in general are mounted on large, bulky emplacements which have a hard time targeting strike craft and even smaller and faster corvettes.[/SIZE]
  
• 
  [SIZE=9pt]Limited ammunition - At 120 rounds a minute this cannon eats through ammo like no other.[/SIZE]
  
• 
  Can't fire for more than 10 seconds at a time, because of a risk of overheating

Hello, I'll be the factory judge reviewing your submission. If you have questions, please feel free to respond to this thread once we are underway.

You should probably change the materials to something like 'standard HVC materials', because this isn't really a blaster anymore.

Furthermore 'Toxic' isn't really a weakness, because it is actually beneficial in a combat scenario to poison your targets. Please replace it with a weakness that states it can't fire for more than 10 seconds at a time, because of a risk of overheating.

This is a canonical HVC weakness and properly balances a pretty powerful weapon.
