DESCRIPTION
A mass produced, smaller version of the tried and true MPC-1 Eyayah, the MPC-2 Jair, or "Shriek," is a powerful capital ship cannon meant to be used in long-range space combat, mostly aboard various defense ships and platforms. As a hyper particle cannon, the Jair is capable firing a fast flying, explosive particle bolt that explodes on impact with either the hull or shields of a targeted vessel. Along with this, the weapons are meant to be some of the first o fire, having great range. This does come with costs though. The HPC's are still large and heavy, which can be a limiting factor in what ships can mount these cannons, and their recoil can be an issue for regaining targets after firing. The cannons also struggle to track smaller, faster ships like light freighters, corvettes, and fast moving frigates.
