SPECIAL FEATURES

• Reactor Draw: This cannon is designed to draw from the reactor of the ship its mounted on.
• Fixed Mount: The cannon is designed to be incorporated into the body of a Star Ship

Strengths:

• Rail Gun: This Plasma Rail Gun is designed to create a magnetic coated plasma slug and accelerate it to intense speeds, making it a deadly anti-hull weapon.
• No Recoil: The Rail Gun is designed to be integrated into the hull of a starship, effectively eliminating recoil when the weapon is fired.
• Extreme: This massive cannon is capable of unleashing shots on par with its size and weight, creating a barrage that would be devastating to anything shy of a dreadnought.
• Battlefield: The weapon is designed to work in zero-g environments, effectively allowing it to target any ship within visual range.
• Reload Fins: the cannon is designed to work in conjunction with the Vylmira Class ship, which features Plasma Collection fins, offering a slow reload process for the cannon.

Weaknesses:

• Wind Down: Because of the size of the cannon, it's prone to overheating and requires a cool down period between shots.
• Incorporated: The cannon is designed specifically for Vylmira Class cruisers, and cannot be used on any other ship. Additionally, it has no gimbals, and the entire ship must be rotated in order to provide an effective targeting solution.
• Plasma Banks: The cannon is designed to draw energy from a set of plasma banks. If the reloading fins on the host ship are damaged, the ammo supply becomes limited.

DESCRIPTION
Designed in conjunction with a new breed of battlecruiser, the Vylmira Class Railgun is intended to be the main weapon of the upcoming addition to the Confederate Fleet. A massive cannon in both scope and size, the Vylmira-class gun was designed on the old Plasma Rail technology, offering all the stopping power of a Rail gun, but without the constraints that physical projectiles would entail, namely the storage and transport of the same.
