The magnetic accelerator cannon is designed as an anti-capital ship weapon. It has three barrels on a rotating frame that fire super-heavy magnetic projectiles at extremely high speeds. It boasts an extreme stopping power and extreme effective range, but is far too large and heavy to be mounted on anything less than a cruiser sized vessel. Its recoil is so powerful that only a ship of sufficient tonnage can hope to fire it without sustaining catastrophic damage.
