==Description==
===Blue Planet Tech Room Description===
A Shekar-Johnson Weapons product, produced for a Fleet Systems requirement for a cheap, modular intercept weapon during the Isolation. Commissioned as the SCWS-1 Vulcan. Light repeating plasma weapon, excellent at intercepting warheads. Pilots must track and sustain fire on shielded targets. Produced widely across the solar system and even back-engineered and reproduced in the Gaian Effort's Kuiper installations.

−	This weapon is a lot like a weaker version of the GTVA's [[Balor]], it's almost worth it to take in the first few missions to intercept bombs. It does enough damage to be a valid weapon (unlike the [[GTW Prometheus R]] of Freespace 2) but perhaps not enough to justify taking it on every mission.}}	+	This weapon is a lot like a weaker version of the GTVA's [[Balor]], it's almost worth it to take in the first few missions to intercept bombs.

 Unlike most GTA weapons and the [[Maul]], it's worth noting that the Vulcans you mount on your fighter fire their barrels in a cyclic pattern rather than firing all at once for discrete volleys. This means that instead of globs of gunfire like you might get with Kaysers, Subachs or Mauls, you get a long, constant stream of fire, which as noted is good for shooting down bombs. It also makes adjusting your aim easier.
-You'll definitely find it lacking for taking down the [[GTF Nyx]] or other heavyweight/next-gen fighters, but it more than suffices for the older strikecraft like the [[GTB Artemis]], [[GTF Hercules Mark II]] and [[GTF Myrmidon]] models that the GTA use fairly extensively in BP. Strongly recommend pairing the Vulcan with [[Hellfire Missile]]s if you're going to be tangling with heavier fighters and don't want to use Mauls.}}

-{{Comment|It's the UEF's [[Subach]]. It's good for shooting down bombs, but not for real work. The availability of the [[Maul]] at the beginning of the campaign makes the Vulcan largely useless. If you have trouble aiming and prefer spraying though, the Vulcan might be to your liking.}}
