 It should be noted that a Vulcan is not a complete weapon and relies on a store of plasma or aether, cooling equipment and a power source in order to function and as such these statistics are guidelines: **It is component to be used in other weapons**. It should be noted that a Vulcan is not a complete weapon and relies on a store of plasma or aether, cooling equipment and a power source in order to function and as such these statistics are guidelines: **It is component to be used in other weapons**.

 Given that the upcoming Winter II powered frame did not have a reserve weapon already designed for it, the decision was made to specially design a solenoid accelerator: a means of weaponising common outputs of plasma and aether already moving between the frame's systems with very low energy demands, ensuring the Vulcan would always be available even if other weapons had failed.  Given that the upcoming Winter II powered frame did not have a reserve weapon already designed for it, the decision was made to specially design a solenoid accelerator: a means of weaponising common outputs of plasma and aether already moving between the frame's systems with very low energy demands, ensuring the Vulcan would always be available even if other weapons had failed.

 It is constructed from a specialised arrangement of [[materials:quasicrystals:phyliaus#doresu| doresu]] electromagnets, [[materials:quasicrystals:phyliaus#capel| capel]] capacitors and [[materials:quasicrystals:phyliaus#theralis| theralis]] radiator plates and has no energy source or computer of its own. In some applications it may be paired up with an arrangement of [[solenoid_supercharger| solenoid superchargers]]. It is constructed from a specialised arrangement of [[materials:quasicrystals:phyliaus#doresu| doresu]] electromagnets, [[materials:quasicrystals:phyliaus#capel| capel]] capacitors and [[materials:quasicrystals:phyliaus#theralis| theralis]] radiator plates and has no energy source or computer of its own.

 Critically, the Vulcan differs from other coil or rail systems in that it is composed of modular cuboid plates arranged in a triangular prism which are arranged in a radial configuration, rather than a sealed tube. These cuboid plates can be opened or closed, similar to the hinges of a door for a variety of different effects if numerous units are locked together (//for example two forming a hexagonal prism in radial alignment, a longer barrel in sequential alignment or two separate barrels in parallel alignment//). As such, while the Vulcan itself is not a weapon, arrangements of it combined with an energy, computation and munitions source //can// be. Critically, the Vulcan differs from other coil or rail systems in that it is composed of modular cuboid plates arranged in a triangular prism which are arranged in a radial configuration, rather than a sealed tube.

 The LA-AM-G3800 "Vulcan" Solenoid Accelerator resembles the bastard child of a commercial jet engine and a mining drill, extruded into a long fore-arm sized rod with the diameter of a beer-can. Its exterior is normally covered by a protective casing but if removed the unit is covered with hollow straw-thick channels for substrate solenoid to drive the weapon: providing its power-source, input material, cooling, computer control and ammunition. The LA-AM-G3800 "Vulcan" Solenoid Accelerator resembles the bastard child of a commercial jet engine and a mining drill, extruded into a long fore-arm sized rod with the diameter of a beer-can.

   * **Projectile Muzzle Flash:** The muzzle flash, vented only through the nozzle contorts forward and clings to the shot in a thin long line along its path, akin to fast-moving strings of syrup clinging to a bowl and a spoon before finally breaking. The line is often chased by plasma arcs. It is usually bright cyan in color, decaying into cerise, then finally pink.   * **Projectile Muzzle Flash:** The muzzle flash, vented only through the nozzle contorts forward and clings to the shot in a thin long line along its path, akin to fast-moving strings of syrup clinging to a bowl and a spoon before finally breaking.
