DESCRIPTION

Created for the Jotunn Land Behemoth for its main weapon, the cannon is essentially a massively upscaled and modified Type 1 Nothmiro Lance Cannon that sacrifices its usual shield damage to balance the weapon overall. The weapon incorporates the usual focussing lenses, but with massive heat sinks to accommodate the extreme power flowing through the weapon.

The extraordinary weapon would normally only be used on a battlecruiser or a large ground installation dedicated to its function. Instead it was mounted on the Jotunn to allow it to be used as a siege weapon and a way to fight vessels in low orbit from a mobile platform. The targeting solutions are computed for the weapon by built in computers before being fed to both the weapon’s operators and to the crew of the walker so that it can be correctly aimed and fired.
