Azimuth Acceleration Cannon
A cannon developed by the Republic of Vanadia of the Hyperion Federation. Its rounds tend to accelerate over time, as a device similar to a Newton Force Laser activates within the barrel, pushing the Azimuth rounds ever faster.
The Azimuth can fire a wide variety of different ammo types, including AP, HE, EMP and various others. These are all highly powerful especially at long range (high velocity) Some form of ammo can penetrate deep into most armour, others can disable the shields of an enemy craft.
It accommodates an autoloader that can load the weapon regardless of elevation. This is because the weapon is mounted in an oscillating turret. This allows it to achieve a high fire rate. Shells are delivered to the autoloader via Replicator bays that are below deck. Ammo is built here from matter plasma.
Its fire rate is further compunded by its use of 4 barrels. This can cause it to achieve much faster fire rates when they stagger fire.
Due to the use of HF Quantum Computing Devices it is highly accurate as well. Targets are acquired through tachyon radar.
