First fielded in YE 40, Origin Industries' Light Gauss Starship Cannon is a medium anti-starship weapon designed to be a relatively small but heavy hitting armament for starships without having to rely on Aether technology.
The Light Gauss Starship Cannon, or LGSC was designed to be a heavy hitting 'Main Gun' for small to medium starships. Based on the larger 500mm Gauss Impelled Positron Cannon, the LGSC is a scaled down version providing similar results on a smaller scale. It was originally designed for a refit of the Jinkan-class Escort
The Normal appearance of the LGSC is a simple tube that is mounted onto a starship, and can be either sticking out from the front of the craft or mounted along its surface. The rest of the LGSC is buried within the ship. Unmounted, the LGSC is a long tube, which has a large receiver at one end where ammunition is inserted by an automatic loader.
The LGSC Fires 250mm x 1000 MM Projectiles.
