Weaponry regulations;
Due to the prototype weaponry output by the technicians and researchers at Willard Research Station, the decision has been taken to allow the Lieutenant Commanders access to a limited number of these valuable cannons.
Lieutenant Commanders take note, you are now permitted to mount a maximum of two pieces of the following weaponry:
Blue Blaze Hammerfall Diamondback Silverfire Wild Fire Phoenix Blood Stone
The colour indicated in the transmission above is a rough guide to the colour of the beam produced when the cannon is fired.
Bear in mind that these cannons are pure energy blasters, not plasma, particle, tachyon and so on. Against any types of shielding, they have no strengths or weaknesses. As the vast majority of enemies that we encounter use graviton shields, Magma Hammer V's may be better than these prototypes for certain situations, such as against masses of hostile gunships.
These prototypes are admittedly cannons made of parts that didn't quite make the grade to fall under classification of the Thor's Hammer, Excalibur or Archangel to name a few. That said, they are still powerful weapons and it would be a great shame if these were to go to waste because of small flaws in their design.
