- BFG: The XR-01 is a massive cannon capable of unleashing a devastating barrage across great distances.
- Single Shot: The XR-01 Functions by firing all four barrels simultaneously. It also has the capability of firing each barrel separately for reduced payload shots.
- Linked Fire: The XR-01 is mounted in pairs, which can be fired simultaneously or separately
- Fixed Mount: The XR-01 is designed to operate on a fixed mount, meaning it can only fire in the direction the ship is pointing.
- Heavy: The massive size of the cannon prevents it from being mounted effectively on any ship smaller than a Star Destroyer
- Low n' Slow: The XR-01 can fire a single blast, then it must cool down. It can take as long as five minutes for the cannon to properly reset.
- Heat Array: If the heat array is destroyed, the weapon can take exponentially longer to cool down between shots
Realizing that Fighters alone do not win a battle, Voph commissioned an anti-dreadnought caliber cannon to mount on his capital ships to augment his effectiveness against other capital ships. The resulting cannon, designated the XR-01 and nicknamed the "Exar Kun," fires a continuous beam of energy for a few seconds, before entering a cool-down sequence. The massive heat dispersion array speeds up this process down to a mere five minute cycle, but extensive damage to the array can compromise this ability. While not as accurate over the impressive distances this beam can reach, the XR-01 has the ability to return fire on anything close enough to fire on it. And the bigger they are, the easier they are to hit...
