Description: The laser flak cannon essentially consists of a plasma cannon which uses less powerful containment fields than normal, which will after a period of time rupture, resulting in a large explosion of plasma without the need for actual contact. The time it takes to rupture depends amount of energy that is put into the containment field, and the range can be altered from shot to shot.
This weapons system was developed for the New Order’s Vader class Star Destroyer to work in concert with their solid-state counterparts. The laser flak cannon has a greater range and accuracy than normal flak cannons, but the actual area of effect is considerably smaller. The weapon also has an increased minimum range, as the less powerful the containment field is, the more unstable and unpredictable it becomes, and this can have deadly consequences. However, the electrical disturbances caused by the plasma can wreak havoc with a fighter’s electrical systems, making it easy prey for other weapons systems.
NOTE: SORRY FOR INACTIVITY, I MODIFIED BUT FORGOT TO POST.
