The Gi'she is a large calibre artillery round designed for use with the Hui'ueshe Assault Cannon, although it can also be used with other artillery platforms provided they have the required equipment. The round was intended to be used against heavily armoured targets such as large warships and even stations. Its core design allows it to punch through armor plating almost two meters thick, although estimates make it possible to punch through armour even deeper than that.

When used in space, the round is very effective at its job. When used in atmosphere, it suffers 'drop' from the planets gravity pulling it toward the surface, because of this the round should never be used when there is a risk of civilian casualties. It can create a crater almost two miles wide and eight miles deep on a planet, depending on what the ground composition is made up of.

Material

Created using a material known as juie_yehe aash_eane with a depleted Uranium core, and was designed to be almost ten meters long. Other minerals, such as titanium, is used as a reinforcing agent. The combination of these materials makes the slug weigh nearly 900 tons, requiring specialized machinery to store and load it into a weapon.

Performance

The Gi'she is a pure damage dealing round, intended to punch through solid armor plating several meters thick where its depleted uranium core will self-detonate after several seconds, allowing the round to potentially go deep into a ships hull. One of the drawbacks to the Gi'she is that its penetrator can potentially cause the round to actually go 'through' the ship.
