- Primary Source: Canarocite
- Manufacturer: Primo Victorian Enterprises
- Affiliation: Imperial Commonwealth of Dosuun
- Market Status: Closed Market
- Model: CPC-PC-771 “Thaumarch”
- Modularity: Yes
- Production: Minor
- Material:
- Galven Coil Charge Rails
- Synthek Crystal Power Modulator
- Boreas Cryo-Sinks
- Durasteel Barrel & Canarocite-Infused Emitter Tip
- Crystalplast Internal Conduit Shroud
- Classification: Energy Weapon – Proton Charge Cannon
- Size: Large
- Weight: Heavy
- Ammunition Type: Proton-charged plasma bolts
- Ammunition Capacity: Very Large
- Effective Range: Long Range
- Rate of Fire: High
- Damage Output: High
- Recoil: Low
- Proton-Charged Bolts: Delivers short-lived but high-density explosive energy on impact
- Canarocite-Infused Impact Tip: Generates micro-spatial softening at the moment of contact for improved armor rupture
- Synthek Stabilization Circuit: Maintains bolt shape and minimizes spread in atmosphere or vacuum
- Boreas Cryo-Sink Buffering: Prevents overheating during sustained engagements
- Pulse-Fire Cycle: Rapid fire mode available for short-range engagements (reduced damage per shot)
- AI-Assisted Target Lead: Predicts vector and firing solution for moving targets, perfect for corvettes and fast destroyers
- High Armor Damage: Devastating to hardened hull plating and defensive towers
- Subsystem Disruption: Can shatter communications arrays, engine housings, or weapon spines with bolt impact
- Supplemental Reactor Not Required: Can run off most cruiser-grade reactors with local capacitor sync
- Not a True Beam: No sustained damage — relies on hit timing
- Weak vs Shields: Without a disruptor or phase assist, shielded targets take reduced impact
- Limited Splash: Precision-targeted only — no AoE or fragmentation
- Canarocite Fragility: Tip must be replaced after ~100 cycles due to spatial fatigue
- Tracking Curve: Less effective against nimble interceptors (anti-ship only)
The Thaumarch Proton Cannon is the Commonwealth’s go-to heavy punch weapon for vessels too small for spinal beam arrays. Drawing on older proton cannon designs and refined with Commonwealth tech, it delivers hard, percussive bolt fire backed by a Canarocite spike to breach hulls through sheer spatial manipulation. Mounted in doubles or quads on destroyers, or as spinal guns on cruisers, the Thaumarch allows any ship to punch above its class.
