Udano Rotyka Sakopa (Gravitic Shock Cannon)

The most formidable shipboard weapon that a Poku Saeruo Degonjo vessel can mount. Poku'vonai have been using them since before the Norka (The Exodus).

The cannon harnesses the massive power of the Tinvyma Movidoanor (Tunnel Drive) Heim Force Generators, however instead of creating a wormhole it generates a focused beam of gravimetric distortions. These distortions subject the target vessels to intense changing gravitational forces causing structural damage and in some cases failure. The distortions are so compact that a ship struck by the beam experiences a wide range of gravitational forces across its structure. The effectiveness of the distortion weakens with distance. While the actual beam is invisible, it creates the appearance of a dull red beam, which is caused by the excitation of hydrogen molecules in space by the distortion field.

General

Class: Main Weapon Nomenclature: HS-S4-W1100 Type: Anti-Starship Designers: Otâmovi Wiy Jael (Silver Moon Sect) Manufacturer: Otâmovi Wiy Jael (Silver Moon Sect) on Poku Movi Vamâqi (Clan Void Berth)

Details

Rate of Fire: Every 30 seconds Area of Affect: 100 meter beam Damage: (Damage Rating (Version 3))

  • 5 SDR - 0 to .25 AU (37.5 million km or 23.25 million miles)
  • 4 SDR - .25 to .5 AU (75 million km or 46.5 million miles)
  • 3 SDR - .5 to .75 AU (112.5 million km or 69.75 million miles)
  • 2 SDR - .75 to 1 AU (150 million km or 93 million miles)

Only a ship with a HS-SS1-E739/00 Anoka Udano (Gravity Shield) are immune so long as the shield strength equals or exceeds the force.

Conventional Shields will provide temporary protection until they are brought down.

Note: 1 AU = 150 million kilometers or 93 million miles
