Technical Specifications
- Classification: Mass Driver Cannon
- Size: Small
- Weight: Heavy
- Ammunition Type: KE-3 Incendiary Round (20mm Rounds)
- Ammunition Capacity: Dependant on Vehicle
- Reload Speed: Average
- Effective Range: Long Range
- Rate of Fire: High
- Stopping Power: High
- Recoil: None - This cannon can only be integrated into vehicles.
- Automated Targeting System - The canon has an automated targeting system, detecting the nearest vehicle or starship and keeping the barrel of the cannon aimed at said vehicle/starship. It will not fire automatically, however.
- 360 Degree Vertical and Horizontal Rotation - This Incendiary Cannon is able to rotate 360 degrees in order to deploy it's rounds more effectively.
- Automated Targeting System
- Long Range: The cannon - due to the nature of the ammunition used - is quite effective at long ranges.
- Rapid and Precise Fire: Due to the cannon being Mass Driver, it is capable of rapid and precise fire.
- Jamming: Due to the automated targeting system integrated into the cannon, it is vulnerable to sufficiently powerful ECMs. If the cannon was to be jammed, it would not function.
- Must be Integrated: The KE-3 Cannon will not function unless it is integrated into a larger system, I.E. a vehicle or starship.
- EMP/Ion Blasts: Should the ammunition be hit by an EMP either before or after deployment, they would not function at all and would simply do no damage.
The KE-3 Rotational Incendiary Cannon is a canon that must be integrated into a larger system such as a walker or starfighter. It takes advantage of Kiribian Systems Armoury's KE-3 Incendiary Rounds and is primarily used to do significant amounts of damage to un-shielded and weak vehicles or starships.
The Cannon uses an automated targeting system in order to find vehicles to attack - it is attracted to electrical systems and so targets these system's weakest points. These points could include the engines or thrusters on a starfighter or the joints within a walker's legs. Also, due to it's spherical shape, it is able to move smoothly 360 degrees on a vertical and horizontal axis. However, due to the Incendiary Rounds used, there is a delayed detonation that does very little damage to armoured or shielded opponents initially.
