RNWP-12C Cruiser Shard Cannon
Developed in a Gallic weapons testing facility, or so the alleged weapon designation would suggest, the shard cannon is an atypical weapons device. The charge dispensed by the weapon actually supersedes the amount that a conventional turret design would be able to withstand without serious engineering, but this is offset by a funnelling mechanism laid deep in the barrel. The particle streams thus projected are sent outwards in a scattered pattern rather than a single beam that would cause a catastrophic weapons failure. It is speculated that the nature of the weapon indicates that it might have been an attempt to equip cruiser class vessels with the means to employ hit-and-run tactics against larger warships, but either for reasons of doctrinal contradiction or naval politics, never saw popular service.
