Description: The XL-8 is the standard long range ion cannon mount for Imperium Forge Works Vessels. Chosing alusteel over quadanium for the turret armor, makes the weapon track faster giving it tracking and targeting of standard turbolaser cannons. advanced power and energy processing gives the turret much longer range and twice the power of a standard turbolaser. Mounted on a turret housing four cannons the XL-4 is a formidable but large and expensive weapon system for long range combat.
