Notes
- Weapon is capable of easily damaging large vessels (Huge)
- Weapon has high recoil (Shudder)
- Weapon projectile generates particles (Particle Spew)
- The weapons room description lists this as a gauss cannon, but the tech room description lists it as a mass driver. To make it more confusing, it has the weapons effect of a gauss cannon with the characteristics of a mass driver. For now, this article follows the tech room description.
