Ke-S3-W2920 Main Weapon Array

The original main weapon for a Plumeria-class (2D) Medium Gunship, this weapon fires an incredibly intense scalar interference pulse that causes a tear in the fabric of space-time. When this occurs, all energy potentials in the target area are released into real space simultaneously, causing catastrophic destruction. The W2920 is based on the W2900 and consists of a center firing node, a large upper assembly (which resembles a dagger blade), and a smaller lower assembly.

  • Location: Forward section of the ship.
  • Purpose: Anti-starship (normal usage), anti-fleet (using the spread arc)
  • Damage: Rating of 10. Total annihilation of any matter.
  • Area of Effect: A 30-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 15 seconds (45 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.

OOC Notes

FIXME: Needs DRv3 update
