- The canon has its own internal reactor powered by artificial isotope-5 allowing it to fire even when external power is severed
- The cannon uses the same caliber as the TDWRM “Hades” allowing for modularity in warhead delivery
- It is not capable of hitting small or fast-moving targets, it is really only effective against capital grade ships
- A highly skilled team of operators would be able to approach basically unopposed, the internal rayshields would pose an obstacle but would only delay once through those it could be destroyed or reprogrammed
- The gamble is that the shield does not fall because of the artificial isotope-5, should sufficient firepower overwhelm the shielding or somebody is able to hit it as the shields drop to fire it would not endure for long
The Crimall is designed to be a static planetary emplacement capable of delivering punishing kinetic payload into high orbit above the planet. While it can be tied into the planetary power grid it is not required as the main power source of the weapon is Artifical Isotope 5, its internal power is enough to power the canon fully even when cut off from an external power source. Due to the canons, large size it is vulnerable to well-timed orbital strikes as well as a well-trained ground team.
