Used as a heavy support weapon in ground based combat. Providing a rapid stream of powerful plasma rounds to suppress enemy movements and offensive actions. The cannon is basically a mobile support weapon and as such offers no protection for the operator. The gunner is completely exposed to enemy fire so a naturally well covered emplacement position would be desired. This separates it from the [[Shade]] and [[Shielded Plasma Cannon]], as both these offer some measure of protection for their operator but are, however, not man-portable. | Used as a heavy support weapon in ground based combat.
