The Artemis Point Defense Cannon is a simple tool in the Corporate Protectorates Arsenal. Designed from the ground up as a small mini-gun mounted on a swivel, it fires 30mm tungsten rounds at a high speed with the help of magnetic acceleration. The system was designed primarily as anti missile; star-fighter defense.
It excels at closer ranges, spewing a sea of projectiles into the area to explode missiles and shred fighters.
It does less well against heavy plating, or at longer ranges, due to cosmic drift.
It is networked directly to the ships sensors and is completely automated.
Cannot be mounted on any vessel less than 500m.
