DESCRIPTION
The RLC-100 was designed to really catch an opponent with their trousers down. The intention was to take the power of a planetary ion canon and fit it inside of an artillery ship so that it can maneuver on the battlefield, and take out enemy ships.
With their shields knocked down and power systems offline, an enemy vessel is vulnerable. This means that hitting them with the RLC-100 can shorten combat and save lives. It is rather large, being unable to fit in any ship smaller than a frigate. It's a little slow by comparison to the planetary guns, but it does the trick. One shot can potentially knock out ships that aren't designed to withstand it. That one shot can seal a victory.
- Intent: To create a powerful ion canon to be used in an artillery ship.

SPECIAL FEATURES
- It's a massive ion canon that must be mounted in a dedicated ship, but possesses the same power as the planetary ion canon used on Hoth.
Strengths:
- I have the power!: It's as strong as the planetary ion cannon on Hoth, which has the potential of knocking out a star destroyer in a single shot, and designed to fit into an artillery ship for battlefield scale sniping.
Weaknesses:
- No Retro: This cannot be retrofitted into a ship. The ship has to be designed specifically to hold it and all its components.
- Power Drain: Firing this canon takes a lot of power, meaning a ship firing it must sacrifice movement or shields in order to do so.
- Massive: The size of this device is such that a ship essentially has to be designed around it. This means the ship isn't going to do much but fire this canon. It also won't fit into any ship smaller than a frigate.
- Slow Down: it takes a bit for the chargers to spin up, so the gun can only fire once per minute.
