Flechette cannon on Vaygr Destroyer
Flechette Cannons are kinetic weapons used commonly by the Vaygr.
Each Flechette Cannon fires thin, long projectiles, silver in colour, which used their kinetic energy to penetrate through a target's armour. When fired the projectiles are accelerated to very high speeds which give them enough energy to blast even through destroyer hulls.
Flechette Cannons were commonly used amongst Vaygr units. The smallest variant was used on the Vaygr Scout. The largest one was the secondary weapon of a Destroyer - two heavy turrets were capable of firing almost 360 degrees around the ship, being a powerful weapon against frigates and against corvette class ships. However they could not track and hit small, agile targets such as strike craft with ease.
Trivia[]
- The word flechette can be translated from French to English as "little arrow", or dart projectile.
