With a mind to build quality weapons for their quantity of ships and troops, First Order engineering has come through once more.
The Retaliator turbolaser is at the simplist a turbolaser with four barrels on first inspection. However, a quick test fire of the weapon shows just what isn't apparent to the casual observer. The weapon features and internalized processor designed to do two things: maximize cooling and prioritize rate of fire.
As such, the Retaliator has twice the rate of fire of any standard turbolaser currently in use. The computerization allows the weapon to maintain high levels of fire over substantial lengths of time as internal systems work to cool the weapon between shots and to minimize the time in between shots. The result is a quad barreled ship-to-ship weapon system with a withering rate of fire. The perfect weapon to rip asunder the enemies of the First Order.
In addition, the weapon features a few computerized failsafes designed to prevent feedback overload in the event of damage as well as thicker armor plating around the base and critical components, making the weapon slightly harder to knock out of the fight in the middle of combat.
(Gun count is equal to a quad, repeating turbolaser - 1x2x4=8)
