Ke-S3-W3900 Main Weapon Array

The Ke-S3-W3900 is an aether shock array designed by Ketsurui Fleet Yards in YE 39 for usage onboard the Fuji-class Expeditionary Gunship.

An aether shock array functions by emitting a powerful scalar interference pulse that creates a small rend in the fabric of space-time. When this occurs, all energy potentials in the target area are released into normal space simultaneously, causing horrific amounts of destruction. Arrays are typically designed for anti-starship or anti-fleet use.

The Ke-S3-W3900 was designed by Ketsurui Fleet Yards in YE 39 for usage onboard the Fuji-class Expeditionary Gunship. It was an experimental upgrade to the venerable Ke-S3-W3020 Main Weapon Array due to its compact and hull-integrated nature.

The array consists of a center firing node that takes up the entirety of the Fuji's forward “nose” section.

The beam can be steered up to 45 degrees right or left, and up to 15 degrees upwards, but cannot fire lower than straight forward due to the weapon's arrangement.

149,000,000 kilometers is about 1 astronautical unit or 92,000,000 miles.

The systems that comprise this particular weapon were built in a modular fashion so that may be upgraded or replaced in the future if desired; exchanging the main gun's systems in this fashion requires about 7 hours.
