"Auger" Cruiser Siege Cannon
Massive improvements in installation shielding caused something of a minor arms race in the latter half of the 820s; and, among a handful of failed "superweapon" and "bunker buster" projects, one proposal decided to keep it simple.
The "Auger", as it has come to be known, is simply an LTP-121 "Impact" modified with focusing chambers that massively accelerate and compact the projectile into a rod of barely-contained superheated plasma, offering superior penetrative power at the cost of immense heat generation and power usage.
The resulting projectile is capable of piercing many of the most reinforced shield systems currently in use in Sirius, and as such has found its way onto military siege craft and pirate raiding fleets alike. The main downside of the "Auger" and its ilk are the specialized heat sinks required to operate a weapon such as this under such high loads. Most models currently available feature disposable heat sink cartridges, which must be cycled after only a few shots.
