Description: With the success of the MC-d1001, MC-t1002, and the MC-t1003 Batteries, the Engineers at Mon Calamari Shipyards have begun the task of designing a weapon batteries to consolidate Long Range firepower into one centralized reinforced mount.
Each battery is constructed from the FCMC frame alloy giving it superior strength over standard durasteel frame construction. Atop this the hull of the turret is wrapped in Alusteel armor plating giving it protection against incoming fire. Each turret has recessing armored gun ports which can be opened and the turrets extended for fire.
Each Battery mounts three dual long range weapons turrets. Two turrets mount two long range turbolaser cannons, one firing into the forward and flanking fire arc, one firing into the aft and flanking arc. One turret mounts two long range ion cannons which can fire into the forward, aft, and flanking fire arcs.
Each turret houses an advanced targeting system allowing the weapons crew of the battery to track multiple targets rapidly and engage targets as assigned from the threat computer. Each battery has a standard crew of twenty four gunners, four per dual turret, and a support crew of six engineers for damage control.
Each Turret houses a dedicated triple redundancy power capacitor bank to maintain constant power to the weapons systems. Power is routed from the reactor through a loop capacitor system into a bank of forty eight massive power capacitors used by the whole vessel. These massive capacitors then distribute power into the batteries dedicated bank of power capacitors. This bank then discharges into an overcharger which stores its power in a third bank of capacitors which directly feed the individual battery providing constant stable power.
