SPECIAL FEATURES
- A.L.S.D.B Chamber
Allows firing of multiple 500 mm shell types (solid penetrator, layered breaker, delayed-fuse breach shells) without bespoke barrel or chamber replacement. - Distributed Recoil Lattice (Fyrirdögun)
A hull-integrated recoil network that spreads firing stress across reinforced structural members, preventing mount failure while imposing maneuvering limits during sustained fire. - Mag-Stabilized Launch Channel
Internal magnetic guidance stabilizes shell alignment during acceleration, improving accuracy at Battlefield ranges despite extreme projectile mass. - Kov'dra Blast Containment Shroud
Shock-hardened Kov'dra plating absorbs and disperses secondary shock, spall, and radiant energy from near-miss impacts and internal overpressure events. - Void-Optimized Fire Control Logic
Targeting solutions emphasize long-lead, momentum-retentive trajectories suited to capital-scale void engagements.
STRENGTHS
- Capital-Grade Kinetic Breach Capability
A 500 mm kinetic strike delivers overwhelming momentum capable of breaching reinforced capital hull plating and station armor. - Battlefield-Scale Engagement Dominance
Optimized to apply pressure at capital engagement distances before opposing vessels can close into optimal energy-weapon envelopes. - Material Synergy Survivability
Fyrirdögun framing, Seigurium reinforcement, and Kov'dra armor provide exceptional resistance to kinetic and energy retaliation, improving weapon survivability under counter-battery fire. - Ammunition Role Flexibility
Dragon's Breath A.L.S integration enables rapid shifts between penetration, spall-inducing, and delayed-breach roles without retooling. - Reduced Silhouette for Class
Compact vertical housing lowers exposure compared to traditional capital turrets, complicating enemy targeting solutions. - Operational Deterrence
The presence of a Kov'dra-shrouded 500 mm cannon alters enemy maneuvering and shield distribution, often forcing defensive postures.
WEAKNESSES
- Severe Structural Requirements
Only heavily reinforced capital hulls and stations can mount the LO-10H without risking frame fatigue or internal stress fractures. - Live Ammunition Vulnerability
Magazine breaches remain catastrophic due to the mass and stored kinetic energy of 500 mm shells. - Logistical Mass Burden
Kov'dra armor and large-caliber shells significantly increase ship mass and internal volume demands, limiting sustained operations without resupply. - Limited Anti-Smallcraft Effectiveness
Traversal speed and firing cadence make the weapon unsuitable against starfighters, bombers, and fast corvettes without dedicated point-defense coverage. - Operational Firing Constraints
Sustained volleys require temporary reductions in maneuvering authority and/or shield redistribution to manage recoil and power draw. - Maintenance Intensity
Kov'dra plating inspection, recoil lattice calibration, and magnetic channel alignment necessitate extended dockyard maintenance windows.
DESCRIPTION
As Lilaste fleets encountered increasingly resilient capital hulls and fortified orbital defenses, reliance on energy weapons alone proved insufficient. The LO-10H Heavy Capital Cannon answers this challenge with uncompromising kinetic doctrine. Built around a 500 mm live-slug architecture and clad in Kov'dra for shock and energy resistance, the weapon prioritizes survivability and brute-force penetration.
The A.L.S – Dragon's Breath Chamber grants ammunition flexibility at scale, allowing mission-specific shell selection without bespoke redesign. Intended for capital-versus-capital warfare and station defense, the LO-10H is a battlefield weapon—devastating when employed with proper escort, structural reinforcement, and ammunition discipline. Misapplied, its mass, recoil, and live-ammunition risks can endanger its host as readily as the enemy.
