DESCRIPTION
Developed for the defence of new territories within the Zweihander Union, the Union Pattern Anti-Orbital Defence Cannon is made to be mounted on the top of an armoured outpost and connected to a generator outbuilding. The weapon is capable of hitting targets larger than a corvette in size when the enemy ship is in orbit with reasonable accuracy. The cannon can both disable enemy ships with ion damage and regular plasma damage caused by a heavy turbolaser. The use of advanced cooling systems and a large capacitor bank allows for a staggering rate of fire as long as the cannon gets a constant power feed.
