- Primary Source: Valencia-type Flak Driver Cannon
- Manufacturer: Primo Victorian Enterprises
- Affiliation: Imperial Commonwealth of Dosuun
- Market Status: Closed-Market
- Model: VFC-114Q Mk II "Valencia II"
- Modularity: Yes
- Production: Minor
- Material: Quadanium alloy barrel reinforcement, Agrinium flak-safe casing, Boreas–Synthek thermal coils, sensor-reflective plating
- Classification: Flak Driver Cannon
- Size: Very Large
- Weight: Heavy
- Ammunition Type: 114mm Depleted Baradium shell with proximity or programmable fuses
- Ammunition Capacity: Very Large
- Effective Range: Long Range
- Rate of Fire: Average
- Damage Output: High (Fighters/Missiles)
- Recoil: Average
- Quad-Barrel Design: Sequential burst fire or full-salvo flak storm, depending on firing mode
- Smart Fusing Suite: Switchable between timed, programmable, and proximity detonation for effective short- and medium-range burst
- Multi-Environment Compatibility: Atmospheric sealed—works equally well in shipborne mounts, planetary bunkers, or orbital batteries
- AI-Driven Heuristic Targeting: Predictive analysis of incoming fighter/drone paths; fuse delay and burst pattern adjust in real time
- Payload Variants (Mission Configurable):
- HE-FLAK: High explosive shrapnel shells
- ION-FLAK: Electrically charged fragments for shield disruption & drone disabling
- INC-FLAK: Incendiary burst for damaging softer targets, fighter cockpits
- EM-FLAK: Sensor-scrambling burst with temporary electronics distortion
- Tunable Bloom Radius: Fire control officer can select wide-area denial or tight concentrated zone
- Swarm-Slayer: Devastating to strike craft, drones, boarding shuttles, or even high-speed torpedoes
- Cross-Environment Role: Ideal for warships, space stations, planetary AA batteries
- Adaptive Fire Control: Learns over time to match enemy flight profiles
- Payload Variety: Customize your flak for whatever enemy shows up
- Deployable in Clusters: Effective as quad-barbettes or rotating turret sets
- Limited anti-capital damage: Not designed for penetrating large hulls
- High power/thermal demands: Reactor strain in large installations
- Vulnerable to advanced ECM: Jammed sensors reduce AI effectiveness
- Area effect = friendly fire risk: In close-quarters boarding zones or dense formations
The Valencia II “Storm Driver” is the natural evolution of the classic flak cannon—modernized with smarter tracking, programmable detonation, and environmental versatility. Designed to engage enemy starfighters, drones, and swarm ordnance across all theaters, it adapts to the battlespace with terrifying speed.
Its ability to switch payload types and detonation styles means it is no longer just “a flak cannon”—it's a threat anticipation system, mounted wherever the Commonwealth cannot afford to lose ground: planetary bunkers, escort lines, orbital defenses, or hangar perimeters.
No longer the awkward prototype of 858 ABY, the Storm Driver has returned as the fleet’s answer to fast movers, overconfident bombers, and everything too small for a railgun but too dangerous to ignore.
