Ke-B5-W3901 Type 39 Anti-Fortress Turret Rework

The Ke-B5-W901 Type 39 Anti-Fortress Turret is the Izanagi-Class Dreadnought's primary anti-fortress and anti-dreadnought weapon system. There are several of these turrets on the surface of the dreadnought. The turret draws power primarily from an aether generator that functions independently from that of the ship itself. The generator also includes a capacitor and a cooling system. The aether generator and its support systems are located within the base of the turret. In the event that the main reactor of the host Izanagi-class is disabled, the turrets can fire independently. If needed, the turrets can also be connected to the primary aether reactor of the host ship.

While designed for the Izanagi class, the turret type was later adapted for use on other hulls, so as to ensure that the entire fleet had access to the new technology

The turret fires condensed potentials from the aether in a massive and coherent aetheric projectile. These projectiles deal damage through severe heat and anti-matter-like effects.

The turret structure itself has a cylindrical base (which is stored within the hull of the ship) and a rotating turret dome. When not in use, the double-barreled turret is retracted into the cylindrical base (inside of the ship itself) and covered with a zesuaium plate.

  • Purpose: Tier 14, Medium Anti-Capital Ship
  • Maximum Range (Space): 800,000 kilometers 1)
  • Rate of Fire: 1 round every 45 seconds
  • Ammunition 10-20 minutes of sustained fire, Theoretically unlimited as long as the weapon retains function.

It should be noted that at these ranges it is possible for mobile targets of peer tech level to dodge, so engaging at closer ranges may be necessary.
