- Power Generation sourced through dedicated RGT-BH5 Erebus Particle Collider
- Power Generation is located further within a starship's interior to insulate it from damage
- Particle Destabilization
- Heavily-charged antimatter particles within the raw hypermatter wreak destruction when it comes into contact with particles
- Size of explosion is dependent on charged state of the particles; grounded particles have less of a reaction than charged particles
- Particularly destructive against charged particles in shielding
- Modified Hypermatter Annihilation Chamber
- Concentrates raw hypermatter into ultra-dense energy beams
- Sybarium Crystal power amplification
- Anti-Matter: The Angband's hypermatter ammunition creates destructive, destabilizing reactions when it comes into contact with charged particles. This creates a devastating explosion when coming into contact with shields.
- Long Range: The Angband is effective over extreme ranges.
- Unstable: The hypermatter cannon uses highly-volatile ammunition and if damaged, can cause harm to its own ship.
- Unshielded: Against stable particles, the hypermatter cannon's effectiveness is extremely reduced
- Small Craft: The hypermatter cannon cannot be mounted on small craft.
Hypermatter, the hazardous material used to power starships to propel them through subspace and realspace, is an extremely volatile material formed when solar radiation comes into contact with the core of planetary objects. Its potent reactions are enough to generate the necessary energy requirements to facilitate hyperspace travel. And weaponized, hypermatter becomes a deadly agent of destruction unseen.
The RMHC-M14 Angband Hypermatter Cannon is the culmination of decades worth of research by Roble Manufacturing into the elusive properties of hypermatter. By concentrating raw hypermatter into ultra-dense energy beams, these blasts -- visually similar to conventional laser cannons -- are far more powerful than conventional laser cannons. Antimatter particles within the raw hypermatter have a particularly destabilizing effect when it comes into contact with particles. This effect is particularly powerful against shields, as the charged particles of shielding technology create an even more volatile reaction creating an altogether devastating explosion with the potential to cripple a ship's defensive systems. However, against unshielded targets, the hypermatter is less effective because it reacts with much more stable particles.
With great power comes great power requirements, and the Angband is unable to be mounted on small craft whatsoever. Similarly, small, fast-moving targets have an easier time avoiding the Angband due to its large size, but innovative fast-track turret mounts allow the Angband to perform reliably against targets corvette-sized and larger.
Altogether the RMHC-M14 Angband Hypermatter Cannon is an extremely powerful weapon designed to capitalize on the heavy use of shielding technology in modern-day naval engagements.
