- Classification: Proton Acceleration Cannon
- Size: Large
- Weight: Heavy
- Ammunition Type: Proton Reactor
- Ammunition Capacity: Average
- Effective Range: Extreme
- Rate of Fire: Low
- Damage Output: Extreme
- Recoil: Very High
- Advanced Targeting: The Duphon employs an advanced targeting and rangefinder system making it extremely accurate.
- Class Scalable: This weapon can be equipped to Turrets or ships from military freighters upward
- High Pen : The Duphon can track lines straight through most armour.
- EM Rails: Like many of the House Aquila weapons, the Duphon supports an EM rail for rapid swiveling
- External Ports: The Duphon benefits from external ports allowing it to attach to external power / ammo
- Ion Shielded: The internal systems are shielded from being overloaded by Ion weapons.
- Phrik B Plating: The outer plating of this weapon is strong synthetic Phrik
- Shielded: The Duphon employs a CROSS in addition to any other shields the ship has.
- Extreme Precision: The Duphon syncs with the long range scanners of any system its equipped to or using its own long range tachyon scanners, in conjunction with its advanced rangefinder and targeting system it is one of the most accurate systems on the market. Able to hit specific targets over extreme ranges with some motion prediction factors. If you want a weapon capable of targeting a specific person on a ships bridge across a battlefield or from orbit. The Duphon is the weapon to employ.
- Armour Penetration: A Duphon's weapon puts an incredibly high amount of pressure and energy on a single point, tearing through all but the highest quality energy shields within the same class as the weapon and penetrating deeply into their target, if not straight through able to veritably ignore even the thickest of durasteel and titanium armour plating.
- Rapid Projectiles: The Charged particle shots fired from this weapons coils fire at extremely high velocities nearing those of mass drivers though not quite as fast as the more powerful Rail Cannons.
- Shielded: To defend itself the weapon, using its own excess energy while charging employs a CROSS one way shield system in conjunction with any other shields which may surround the ship or fortification that its situated on in order to protect it from heavy weapons.
- Swift Swivel: This weapon employs an EM Rail system allowing it to acquire and track targets far faster than the slower mechanical or hydraulic swivels used by other weapons systems.
WEAKNESSES
- Low Rate of Fire: Many weapons fire slowly, however with the ability to fire only round per barrel every ten seconds the Duphon is an exceptionally slow firing weapon.
- Low Fallout: This weapon isn't explosive, to doesn't fire a broad detonating explosive which causes ravages everything it hits, it relies on the pressure change and the vacuum of space to deal the bulk of any wide-spread damage. The HA 225 puts a clean half foot-wide hole through structures, and very little else.
- Precise Projectile: The Duphon due to its low rate of fire and thin precise shots, it finds it incredibly hard to hit fast moving fighter or interceptor craft who have high maneuverability ratings. Far better at hitting slow moving or stationary targets, and ending them.
DESCRIPTION
The second major artillery weapon created by House Aquila, however unlike the other ones employed this far the Duphon lacks in extreme explosive or destructive potential, instead being the precise scalpel which can be used to perform surgical strikes on specific targets. However for what the HA 225 lacks in overall destructive power, it makes up for in penetrating and Armour-piercing potential. Employed as one of the stock main forward facing Guns of the house Aquila fleets, this weapon is made to tear into and through other large ships of similar classes while being able to punch up at ships of higher classes from extreme ranges in order to keep themselves safe.
Felix thought that this gun was a little too aggressive for the likes of their defense force at first, though after some consideration a tactical weapon not fit for orbital bombardment but rather long range powerful efficiency he would soon change his mind on with the help of some of his Quatermaster's guild. Soon enough the weapon was being integrated as forward guns and turrets on their ships. And as such the long range sniper like characteristics of House Aquila long range support ships have escalated considerably.
