3.2. Codename Database

---

This section contains information about different salvaged, unusual or rare weaponry existed in Sirius ever. Data has been completely used from Apahanta's database.
Note: Nekhbet and Order itself have some similar prototypes, so I decided to correct their technical parameters.

After salvaging and scavenging many wreckages of various sizes, we have finished the procession of obtained data. A good amount of data contained information about "new" weaponry of factions all over Sirius. Partially, these mentioned weapons are outdated technologies, refit for the use on modern capital ships. Other technologies are of unknown origin and approach unconventional technologies with unconventional methods. The Apahanta's combat simulation program was fed with the new data and allowed us to visualize these new weapons.

Battleship Siege Cannon
RTB-1000 "Schwerer Gustav"

In many cases, we found multiple names and codenames for the weapons. To keep things simple, we will refer to each weapon by their codename instead of their origin-related, sometimes rather hard to pronounce titles.

Light Fighter Codename Weaponry

FEUERBALL Codename Weapon

FEUERBALL Light Fighter Heavy Overcharge Cannon
[size=8]This makes our Rovers actually combat-capable.

The FEUERBALL is a slow-firing, massively overcharged plasma cannon developed by a small Rheinland engineering comparny, Kessler GmbH, on the basis of the widely used Flammenwerfer series in the late 790's. After the Nomad crisis, Kessler was forced to file for bankrupcy after producing only a few hundred of these weapons. Today, the few surviving examples are hard to come by and highly sought after - and we can rebuild them.

Class 6 Light Fighter Gun
Type Plasma

1575 Shield Damage
693 Energy consumed per shot
1.00 Refire

Those things are constructed with rather hard to get materials. We will produce them only if really, really necessary. In the meantime, we can rely on the two sets we salvaged and the HAMMERFALL codenames sold at Freeport 11.

Very Heavy Fighter Codename Weaponry

ACROBATIC Codename Weapon

ACROBATIC Limited Edition Cannon
Looks nice. Is nice. Is expensive as hell.

The ACROBATIC is a high-tech design loosely based on older Bounty Hunter technology. A limited production run was produced by Archeos, a Kusari consumer electronics company known for stylish but overpriced products. The small batch sold out before the first weapon was even delivered, and those still on the market command a hefty premium among collectors.

Class 8 Very Heavy Fighter Gun
Type Neutral
580 Hull Damage
290 Shield Damage
141 Energy consumed per shot
4.00 Refire

If we get some, we should sell them, definitely.

SUPERSONIC Codename Weapon

SUPERSONIC Manual Aim High-Speed Photon Cannon
If one fires, all the others fire as well.

Prototype photon cannon of unknown origin, firing low charge bolts at astonishing speed. This weapon is not compatible with standard targeting computers; it must be aimed manually.

Class 9 Very Heavy Fighter Gun
Type Photon
280 Hull Damage
140 Shield Damage
71 Energy consumed per shot
8.33 Refire
3.9437 Efficiency Rating
800M/s Speed
570M Range

We found a set of those at the [REDACTED] and sold them to a collector. Apparently, those guns are linking with each other. If one fires, all of the others fire as well. That is the only disadvantage.

TDGWM5K Codename Weapon

TDGWM5K Pulse Cannon
Captain Vertiga calls it "The Mudskipper" for some reason.

Prototype pulse weapon of non-human origin. The TDGWM5K gets its unwieldy name from a single decoded string in the weapon's designation code. It is a pulse weapon calibrated for very high refire rate, well beyond typical equivalents. Despite its mysterious origins, it is manufactured to be compatible with typical human hardpoints. We can recreate this thing using minerals of the Peloponnes Cloud.

Class 9 Very Heavy Fighter Gun

> Side note: - I think Mudskipper is a good name for a gun. Better than TDGWM5K. - Ezrael

THUNDERWAVE Codename Weapon

THUNDERWAVE Neutral Super-Speed Cannon
Our teams are still on that one.

At this point, there is no information available on this weapon other than the project name. The database of [REDACTED] shows pictures of the construction, however without a single written word. We could look into this, but so far we don't use fighters that could use those guns.

Class 9 Very Heavy Fighter Gun
Type Neutral
336 Hull Damage
168 Shield Damage
68 Energy consumed per shot
8.33 Refire

We found two sets and sold them.

Cruiser Codename Weaponry

BLASTER Codename Weapon

"Coup de Grace" Cruiser BLASTER Turret
Short range, quick refire.

The Cultists attacked the Cortez system in mid-February 825 and Captain Vertiga's girlfriend managed to loot one exemplar of those from the battlefield. It was one of two crates in her cargo bay that filled the entire hold. A Gallic prototype cruiser weapon, intended as a "finisher" on very close targets. The weapon has an impressive power output, high speed and quick refire, but lacks range compared to similar guns.

Cruiser Heavy Slot Turret
Type Neutral
18.000 Hull Damage
9.000 Shield Damage
43.000 Energy consumed per shot
1.33 Refire
900M/s Speed
1.300M Range

Weird combination. Ships will rarely get close to a cruiser, and a cruiser will not get close to a battleship. There are better weapons of choice for cruiser-type ships. But hey, Gallia surely knows what they are doing.

ION BLASTER Codename Weapon

WACISFN Cruiser ION BLASTER
Cruiser-scaled Heavy Ion Cannon

This unusual cruiser weapon is a development by the mysterious "Cult of Technology", and a very small number have been salvaged from their wreckages. The massive ion charge it fires neutralizes a target's power supply, draining huge amounts of energy from the ship's reactor. On a shielded vessel however, the neutralization will occur before affecting the ship's systems, making it suitable only against unprotected targets.

Cruiser Heavy Slot Turret
Type Ion
2 Hull Damage
? Shield Damage
500.000 Power Core reduction
250.000 Energy consumed per shot
0.03 Refire
1.500M/s Speed
1.800M Range

This weapon has a very long recharge time, but it does weaken the power core of the target, if it is unshielded, vehemently. This is good for capture operations or support. Otherwise, like the bigger counterpart, it is more of a wasted opportunity for other heavy slot-compatible weaponry.

We have no idea what WACISFN is supposed to mean.

MAULER Codename Weapon

MAULER Cruiser Turret
Cruiser-scaled GALE Cannon!

Very little information is available about this weapon, but it appears to be a cruiser equivalent of the Battleship GALE Cannon, which implies that it shares the backstory of that one. Which means not even those who found them know who made those. We however have the plans to build them ourselves now. Speed between Mortar and Heavy Mortar, range is more than two Ks and the damage is quite heavy. Pretty useful if we had a cruiser for those.

Cruiser Heavy Slot Turret
Type Neutral
45.000 Hull Damage
22.500 Shield Damage
125.000 Energy consumed per shot
0.50 Refire
750M/s Speed
1800M Range

I'm sure people would pay well for those turrets. They are a good alternative to Light Mortars.

REPEATER Codename Weapon

W+7754KT Cruiser REPEATER Turret
A Matchmaker

Rapid-fire cruiser weapon of unknown origin. This "Repeater" turret is an allrounder weapon, suitable for use against a wide range of targets. It is technologically closely related to other cruiser weaponry of its type, but calibrated for a much higher fire rate. With other words, whoever did this, knows how to tune-up weapons.

Cruiser Heavy Slot Turret
Type Neutral
4.900 Hull Damage
2.450 Shield Damage
17.500 Energy consumed per shot
3.03 Refire
1.000M/s Speed
1.800M Range

Range is good enough to annoy battleships with it, while the speed is fast enough to hit gunboats if not even snubs. State of the art.

Battlecruiser Codename Weaponry

BREAKER Codename Weapon

BREAKER Battlecruiser Turret
Nasty cannons.

Not much is known about those guys, but they are nasty. Other capitals need to be extremely careful if a battlecruiser with those is around.

Battlecruiser Heavy Slot Turret
Type Neutral
30.000 Hull Damage
15.000 Shield Damage
95.000 Energy consumed per shot
0.67 Refire
800M/s Speed
2.750M Range

High range, high speed, constant pressure. We had an easy time dodging Light Mortars, but ships with those things will hit guaranteed and often. And heavy enough. This gun is made to fight capitals.

PPAC Codename Weapon

Battlecruiser Particle Pulse Accelerator Cannon
PPAC, or Battlecruiser Volley Cannnon

Captain Vertiga's girlfriend found one of those on the battlefield in Cortez during a Cultist Invasion and brought it to the Apahanta. This gun seems to be working similarly to the Battleship Volley Cannon the Cultists used against us in that very fight. We do have building plans for both the battlecruiser- and the battleship variant.

Battlecruiser Heavy Slot Turret
Type Neutral
4x10.000 Hull Damage
4x20.000 Shield Damage
50.000 Energy consumed per shot
0.33 Refire
1.350M/s Speed
2.250M Range

Those things are incredibly powerful in melee, dealing massive damage, especially against shields. They are very inaccurate and work like a shotgun with spread. The closer you come, the more likely it is that your face will get blown off. Never allow a Volley Cannon or PPAC to get close to you. Never.

Battleship Secondary Codename Weaponry

EMP FLAK Codename Weapon

Battleship EMP Flak Turret
A good way to deshield snubs

Those were the first weapons we built ourselves in the Apahanta's workshop. The EMP Flak fires, compared to the normal Flak arrays, rather fast EMP payloads within a short-to-medium range. It is an effective tool to break snub piles and make them stay in the distance, giving our navigator more space for manouvers.

Battleship Secondary Slot Turret
Type EMP
2 Hull Damage
10.000 Shield Damage
320.000 Energy consumed per shot
1.00 Refire
600M/s Speed
1.000M Range

Combined with normal flaks, those things can cause mean AoE damage against snub groups and bombers. One or two are enough, though.

Battleship Primary Codename Weaponry

AUTOPULSE Codename Weapon

MK-81 Battleship Autopulse Turret
Spray and pray pulse pressure.[/align]

The MK-81 is a newly developed pulse-type weapon built by the Coalition. With enemies such as the Corsairs fielding many large warships, there was a need for a specialized weapon built specifically to take down heavy shielding on large targets. The MK-81 is not designed for precision shooting, but rather for creating a heavy barrage of powerful EMP fire, suppressing capital ships at long range.

Battleship Primary Slot Turret
Type EMP
1.000 Hull Damage
8.750 Shield Damage
36.650 Energy consumed per shot
3.03 Refire
900M/s Speed
4.050M Range

One or two of those guns might be a good investation against battleships and smaller capitals. Pressure is always a good thing.

DUAL GATLING LASER Codename Weapon

Kreisky DUAL GATLING LASER Turret
Snub pilots will hate you - which is okay, though, since they die.

This new design is a cooperative effort between the Red Hessians and the Coalition. Unlike most other capital weaponry, it is actually based on fighter and freighter turrets, scaled up massively to create a very rapid fire laser turret to engage small ships. Although the individual shots are weak, the sheer volume of fire the double-barreled weapon provides makes it terrifyingly effective against any smaller craft threatening a red capital ship.

Battleship Primary Slot Turret
Type Neutral
2x1.200 Hull Damage
2x600 Shield Damage
12.000 Energy consumed per shot
6.67 Refire
2.000M/s Speed
1.800M Range

There is a Liberty Dreadnought somewhere using those monsters along with a full Solaris network and Razors. Captain Vertiga saw it demolishing a Rogue Scylla without troubles. Salty people downvoted his video on the neural net.

EMP DISSIPATOR FIELD Codename Weapon

ORZLMUE Battleship EMP DISSIPATION FIELD
Short-range EMP Field.

Another unusual prototype of unknown, possibly non-human origin. This peculiar device functions by releasing massive EMP charges in a general area around the ship. Only a handful have been discovered, on a wrecked ship drifting in the Edge Worlds. The devices are likely developmental, although for what purpose they were created and by whom remains unknown.

Battleship Primary Slot Turret
Type EMP
400 Hull Damage
14.900 Shield Damage
5.000.000 Energy consumed per shot
0.04 Refire
Instant Speed
1.000M Range

We don't know yet whether this thing is able to destroy incoming warheads or anything, but it appears to be useful to damage snubs and gunboats within 1.000M around the device. The power consumption is high, which makes this weapon very situationally useful only.

SLEDGE Codename Weapon

RBT-84h SLEDGE Heavy Battleship Turret
Approach us and you will regret it.

Rheinland prototype battleship weapon which never advanced past early trials. The Sledge followes typical Rheinland trends: A very heavy, slow firing, high powered weapon suitable for the use on Rheinland's massive battleships, and optimal against targets of equal size. The trials were promising, but the project was expensive and ultimately deemed unnecessary with the end of the Liberty conflict. A few of the remaining prototypes had apparently gone missing and have since shown up in unexpected places. And we have built five of those monsters.

Battleship Primary Slot Turret
Type Neutral
38.000 Hull Damage
19.000 Shield Damage
100.000 Energy consumed per shot
1.00 Refire
675M/s Speed
2500M Range

They are evil. They destroy anything they hit and are a guarantee for us to always have enough distance to the enemy. Chainfiring those will allow us to keep constant pressure on hostile cruisers, battlecruisers and battleships, the latter two classes have been ripped apart by the Apahanta already.

> Side note: - Those guns are monsters. And they are on our side. - Ezrael

TERMINATOR Codename Weapon

TERMINATOR Battleship Defense Turret
Anti-cruiser/gunboat space spears.

One of very few cooperative projects between Samura and Kishiro since the democratic coup, the TERMINATOR was developed at the government's request as a very high powered capital to deal with the Imperial's hit-and-run tactics. Although slower to fire than comparable weapons, the TERMINATOR carries incredible damage potential with only a few hits.

Battleship Primary Slot Turret
Type Neutral
5.700 Hull Damage
2.850 Shield Damage
37.000 Energy consumed per shot
2.50 Refire
1.500M/s Speed
1.500M Range

More powerful but slower variants of the Dual Gatling Lasers, mostly aimed at fighting gunboats and snubs. A good alternative to a Thumper-Gatling-Laser mix.

THUMPER Codename Weapon

THUMPER Battleship Rapid-Fire Turret
Anti-Cruiser Weapon.

Very little is known about this weapon. Although it is clearly designed for the use on human capital vessels, its origins are unknown. The weapon has a high firing rate, optimized for the use against smaller targets - cruisers and gunboats.

Battleship Primary Slot Turret
Type Neutral
4.600 Hull Damage
4.300 Shield Damage
27.000 Energy consumed per shot
3.03 Refire
1.200M/s Speed
2.800M Range

A more cruiser-focused variant of the Terminator and the Dual Gatling Laser. It is a good allrounder, though.

Battleship Heavy Codename Weaponry

GALE Codename Weapon

RA-20 GALE Battleship Cannon
Heavy Hellbore Cannons.

The GALE is an ancient Corsair design, an ambitious project to create a weapon that is fast, powerful and has extensive range. The design succeeded in meeting these goals, but politics prevented it from entering production, as the family supporting the development of the now-universal RA-72 used their greater influence and wealth to suppress the GALE's adoption. The prototypes, dusty but functional, were recently rediscovered in a centuries-old abandoned warehouse on Crete.

Battleship Heavy Slot Turret
Type Neutral
105.000 Hull Damage
52.500 Shield Damage
465.000 Energy consumed per shot
0.50 Refire
700M/s Speed
4.900M Range

Those would go well with the Sledges we have mounted, but then again, we have something better than this. Range isn't everything here.

HEAVY ION Codename Weapon

OA51VRU Battleship HEAVY ION BLASTER
Good against superfluous heavy slots and power cores. Yours included.

This unusual battleship weapon is a development by the mysterious "Cult of Technology", and a very small number have been salvaged from their wreckages. The massive ion charge it fires neutralizes a target's power supply, draining huge amounts of energy from the ship's reactor. On a shileded vessel however, the neutralization will occur before affecting the ship's systems, making it suitable only against unprotected targets.

Battleship Secondary Slot Turret
Type Ion
2 Hull Damage
? Shield Damage
2.000.000 Power Core Reduction
1.000.000 Energy consumed per shot
0.02 Refire
1.500M/s Speed
3990M Range

This thing is a waste of materials and we keep the blueprints only for the sake of selling it to other clients.

KINETIC Codename Weapon

MB10a LEWIS Battleship KINETIC Cannon
[size=8]Double-barrel hull-focused high-speed long-range projectiles

The Lewis is an archaic design, a true projectile weapon, firing 240mm explosive shells in a double-barrel configuration not unlike the weapons found on naval warships of the Sol era. used heavily by Bretonia in the early centuries of colonization, these weapons were made obsolete by shield technology, which renders this type of weapon useless. Most Lewis cannons were destroyed, but a small number still remain in museums or forgotten armories. Against an unshielded target, they are still as effective as ever.

And the Apahanta uses two of those guns with success.

Battleship Heavy Slot Turret
Type Hullbuster
2x300.000 Hull Damage
2x150.000 Shield Damage
1.500.000 Energy consumed per shot
0.20 Refire
900M/s Speed
4.000M Range

Very reliable, not too weak against shields either. Good speed, double-barrel. Good choice for sure.

SIEGE Codename Weapon

RBT-1000 "Schwerer Gustav" Battleship SIEGE Turret
[size=xx-small]For the removal of stations only.

An incredibly heavy, unwieldy weapon. This turret is Rheinland's answer to the problem of heavily fortified stations. It is a true siege weapon, useless against any moving target, but its ability to tear down fortifications is unparalleled even by the heavy Cerberus type. Some say it was designed for a Liberty invsation which never materialized, but whatever it purpose was, it was never used and only few exist today.

Battleship Heavy Slot Turret
Type Neutral
2x45.000 Hull Damage
2x22.500 Shield Damage
50.000 Energy consumed per shot
0.56 Refire
200M/s Speed
3.600M Range

Double-barrel base remover cannons. They look nice but are too slow for anything useful.

VOLLEY Codename Weapon

VOLEE Battleship Cannon
Melee Shotgun Heavy

The Volee is a multi-shot, shotgun-type battleship defense weapon, designed to keep smaller ships away from the mighty Valor class. The Gallic capital ship doctrine focuses heavily on grand battleship warfleets, but the heavy, slow weaponry on these ships leaves them somewhat vulnerable to smaller, very close ships. The Volee was intended to alleviate this problem, but the doctrines have since changed to focus more on light support. Although a number of these weapons were produced, their fate is unknown.

Until the Cultists showed up with those. Unlike the similarly working PPAC Battlecruiser turret, the Volley Cannon is not ion-based, meaning the damage to shields is normal.

Battleship Heavy Slot Turret
Type Neutral
4x25.000 Hull Damage
4x12.500 Shield Damage
28.125 Energy consumed per shot
0.50 Refire
1.000M/s Speed
2.500M Range

Avoid getting close to these.

> Side note: - We better keep the blueprints for the construction of those monsters in separate documents. One is the key, one is the vault. - Ezrael

Note: We don't know yet who exactly is behind the refitting of those outdated weapons or who invented the other weapons of unknown origin. All of these have been found at the same source, on board of a stranded jump ship in [REDACTED]. Connections to the so called Defilers and the Cultists are possible, yet not confirmed.
