Location: Forward section of the ship. Primary Purpose: Anti-starship (normal usage), anti-fleet (using the spread arc) Damage: Tiers 13 through 15, Light Anti-Capital Ship through Heavy Anti-Capital Ship (: Staff needs to determine which). Area of Effect: A 200-meter wide beam. The beam can be steered up to 75 degrees right or left, and up to 45 degrees down, but cannot fire higher than straight-forward due to the weapon's arrangement. Range: 300,000,000 km (About 2 AU or 186,000,000 miles) 33% range for spread arc. Rate of Fire: Once every 30 seconds (100 seconds is required for the 30 degree arc) Payload Effectively unlimited, so long as the ship provides power.
Note: Systems that make up this weapon were built in a modular fashion so that the sections composing the ship's main gun could be easily switched with other modules (weapon systems, additional crew space, sensor arrays) at a later time, if desired. Exchanging the main gun's systems in this fashion requires about 6 hours.
