SPECIAL FEATURES
* N/A
Strengths:
* Four for the price of One - Quad barrel design allows the Sanctus flak gun to unload rounds with a massive rate of fire
* Compensated - Recoil dampeners were added to reduce the amount of recoil of the weapon system
* Extra Sensors. the system comes with its own limited sensor network, tied into the ship's sensors, to give it a wider detection radius for enemy missiles, torpedoes, and starfighters
Weaknesses:
* Hungry - Due to the advanced rate of fire and relying on physical shrapnel rounds, the weapon can run out of ammunition in an engagement
* Heat - Due to the advanced rate of fire, if caution is not taken when laying down continuous fire, the barrels will become too hot and start to warp
* Limited Danger - The weapon is designed to deal with missiles and starfighters. Anything bigger is not going to take any damage from these weapons
DESCRIPTION
the Sith engineers at Imperial Department of Research began designing the new Sanctus Flak Gun.
The weapon was designed to be sleeker, to be closer to a ship's hull than before, with the number of barrels equalling an even four. The increased barrel count allows the system to have an incredible rate of fire, supported by recoil dampeners installed through the weapon system to limit recoil as much as possible. Also, the Sanctus is equipped with its own limited sensor system, tied into the ship's sensors, to give it a wider detection radius for enemy torpedos, missiles, and starfighters.
