| The VM-080 Sol-Carronade "Volcanos" is the crown of the Vandemarian-Mithraic Sol weapons program: a colossal capital ship weapon emplacement engineered by the Technwrights to deliver concentrated thermal devastation on a scale normally reserved for planetary fortifications. Drawing inspiration from Solar Ionization weapon technology, the Volcanos gathers immense quantities of energized plasma within its reinforced containment chambers before releasing them as a searing solar lance. Its enormous Superheated Plasma Cells are volatile by nature, and damage to the containment or feed systems can turn the weapon itself into a miniature stellar catastrophe. Consequently, the Vulcanos is buried deep within the vessel's armoured superstructure, surrounded by redundant cooling, shielding and containment systems. The weapon takes its name from Volcanos, the Vandemarian forge-fire of war, and its operation reflects that symbolism. When charged, the weapon's entire emplacement begins to radiate a deep golden-white glow as heat bleeds through its armour and the surrounding void shimmers with distortion. Then the carronade fires: a single, immense discharge that crosses the battlefield like a fragment of the sun, reducing armour to molten slag and leaving glowing wounds across the hulls of its victims. The Volcanos is not intended to be fired casually; it is a weapon of judgement and annihilation, brought to bear when a Vandemarian warship has decided that an obstacle is no longer entitled to remain intact. |
