[SIZE=9pt]Ammunition Capacity: Effectively unlimited.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Effective Range: Ground-based variants are limited to direct-fire visual range, typically 12-16 kilometers. Spaceship mounted variants have standard space engagement ranges.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Rate of Fire: Approximately one shot every 3-5 seconds.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Kinetic Damage[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Ionized Plasma[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The standardized Megamaser fires laser energy and kinetic energy, combined into one devastating attack. The Apex Megamaser, unique to the Chiss Primacy created by Primus Engineering has replaced the laser energy aspect of the Chiss Ascendancy’s Masers, with plasma, to create a devastating kinetic and ion attack. Thus, being useful against shields and hull.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]DESCRIPTION[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]The Apex Megamaser was designed and created by Primus Engineering for the Chiss Primacy. Being dispatched by the Ruling Families hastily with a limited supply of equipment, Commander Feng’arua’nuruodo had found it would be for the best to update the Megamaser’s they carried. Easy to trace and acquire, plasma was created when it was subjected to high temperatures, energized, or a strong electromagnetic field. In this case, it was energized, and with an abundance of unexplored worlds for the Primacy to explore, energizing plasma was more readily available for the Chiss on their colony ship than anything else.[/SIZE]
[SIZE=9pt]Due to the experimental nature of the cannon however, additional sheets of metal and other components to compliment the cannon were added to protect it, and it requires frequent maintenance, likely attended to several days in the Galactic Standard Week so as to prevent potential mishaps when firing.[/SIZE]
