The Red of Sinner
Battle Sister
OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
As times become more modern, technology grows, better and stronger. The Shadow Empire required weapons better than the standard Dual Turbolaser, or Heavy Ion Cannon, and started working on schematics. While this is not entirely new technology to the galaxy, the Shadow Empire was capable of creating it's own specialized turbolaser. The placement is quite large compared to others, giving it amazing accuracy at extreme ranges. While the amount of energy required to use it is not entirely crazy, this means that smaller ships sometimes will only have one or two of these turbolasers, and nothing else. Not entirely a bad thing considering their practical use is long range, it means that those smaller ships wont be effective in close range, not entirely. This turbolaser can still get in a medium concept of range and be quite powerful, but now the worry of bombers and starfighters can become an issue. This turbolaser can also be mounted on a placement for planetary defense with the same concept in mind, the more of these are on the planet, the less of other forms of planetary defenses. The recoil of this weapon was a surprise, it's the effect of all the power being used in a singular area at once. This can cause smaller starships to have to replace themselves for another shot. These turbolasers also shoot very slowly, almost 25 seconds passing before a second shot can be fired. Almost no time for starfighters to approach and begin attacking the ship equipped with this weapon.
- Intent: To create a long range heavy turbolaser for the Shadow Empire
- Image Source: https://www.artstation.com/artwork/L9mAR
- Canon Link: Long Gun , Heavy Turbolaser
- Permissions: N/A
- Primary Source: N/A
- Manufacturer: Shadow Empire
- Affiliation: Shadow Empire
- Model: LAG-o1
- Modularity: No
- Production: Limited
- Material: Durasteel Frame, Turbolaser components
- Classification: Long Range Heavy Turbolaser
- Size: Very Large
- Weight: Very Heavy
- Ammunition Type: Turbolaser Tibanna Gas
- Ammunition Capacity: Average
- Effective Range: Extreme
- Rate of Fire: Very Low
- Stopping Power: Very High
- Recoil: Average
- One LAG Hell Fire has much greater stopping power than the average Heavy Turbolaser
- Extreme Range means this acts like a sniper rifle of the Turbolasers
- Hits much harder than average heavy turbolasers
- Extreme range
- Fires extremely slow
- Ships smaller than 400 meters can not use this
- The shear size makes it an easy target compared to other turbolaser placements
- Considering the amount of energy it takes to power one of these turbolasers, destroying one can cause massive damage to both inner and outer hulls of ships.
- Recoil is relative to the size of ship; overall, it's about average, but a smaller ship may struggle to compensate for the size and output of the weapon. (Smaller ships experience higher recoil, whereas larger ships will experience only average amounts of recoil.)
