Aedan Von: The Rising Sun
Image Source: N/A
Intent: To create a deck canon that can be used for point defense.
Development Thread: N/A
Manufacturer: Drakos Systems
Model: M545 Flak Canon
Affiliation: Closed Market.
Modularity: Yes
Production: Mass Production
Material: Durasteel, Duraplast, Deck Canon Components, Alusteel
Classification: Flak Canon
Length: 2 m
Weight: 1t
Ammunition Type: Gas Canister; Turbine Generator
Ammunition Capacity: Tens of thousands of rounds; infinite due to generator- in practice use however, dependent on host vessel.
Effective Range: Technically Infinite Range; Practically speaking, it 5 km wise.
Rate of Fire: Fully automatic
Special Features:
One first needs to look at how ion weapons function. Ion weapons send ionized particles that are able to affect the shielding, electronics of other weapons, or other devices- an important example being a ship. Having examined visually the effects of the v-120 ion canon on a Star Destroyer, Krayzen believed that it would be better to be able to create a weapon that would have a much more smaller effect, wanting a weapon that would be able to fight off starfighters, gunships, bombers, etc. MR32 Deck Canon was born.
The weapon, like most flak guns consists of advanced automation, faster than light sensors, and targeting computers that are in all deck canons(since the deck canon is a variant of the flak guns). What makes this difference from other designs it's variants.
The first variant is similar to the deck canon in some respects. When a starfighter comes to its range, the deck canon fires an ion bolt, then quickly fires a large caliber(20mm) projectile(which is electromagnetically launched like a railgun, travelling at speeds of 6 km/s). The ion bolts can be able to disrupt the shielding systems/other electrical systems of the starfighter, and the large caliber projectile can then be able to significantly affect the integrity of the starfighter since the shields will be down. Tests from the weapon concluded that particle shields would be fully affected since they only protected against kinetic attacks; however, other tests also concluded that deflector shields, and ray shields protected a starfighter against an ion bolt, albeit to a limited effect.
The second variant is also similar to the first variant in some ways. When a starfighter comes to its range, it fires a large caliber projectile(20mm)(launched electromagnetically like a railgun), then quickly fires an ion bolt; the large caliber projectile can affect deflector shielding in some manner, and ray shielding, while the ion bolt can also be able to disrupt the shielding system, and other electrical systems of the ship. Like the other weapon, tests concluded particle shields would be fully affected, while ray, and deflector shields would be affected, albeit to a more limited effect.
The third variant is also similar, and was influenced by some of the Anzati's previous designs. When a starfighter comes into it's range, it fires a projectile(20mm)(that is electromagnetically launched, travelling at speeds of 6km/s) that is clouded with ion is created, something that is similar to the Mandalorian Ripper which is clouded with plasma, and the SK2 Ripper- one of Krayzen's own designs. Tests concluded the particle shields of the ship can protect against the projectile, however the ion cloud can still affect the shielding systems. On the other hand, if a ship is only ray shielded, they would be significantly affected since ray shields would not be able to protect against projectiles, however the ship would fair better against the ion attack. In deflector shields, tests also concluded that the ship would last longer, but as with most ships, repeated fire would affect the ship significantly.
All of this variants are fast mounted.
Despite this, the weapon is not without its weaknesses. It is significantly larger than a point defense laser, and it requires much more power than a point defense laser. Ultimately however, like his other designs, this is a must have for One Sith vessels.
