OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The PC-2 "Blackout" particle cannon is a capital ship grade particle cannon weapon system that is the standard for capital ship gun used by aboard CST warships. The Blackout cannons are a particle cannons, firing a distinctive pale yellow bolt that is explosive. This allows the cannon to always get some damage past certain kinds of shields, thanks to particle cannons being something between a mass driver and energy weapon. At the same time this does mean almost all shields can at least somewhat block there cannons. Along with this, the Blackouts have a strong impact, and can cause severe damage to enemy targets. With this comes a slower bolt, that can make some targeting difficult. Along with this, thanks to CST's experience with particle cannons, the PC-2 is easy to produce, but has some issues with recoil, and requires a strong mounting system for it.
