Charge Cannon

A Charge Cannon was a form of weapon used to destroy planets. Nearly all still existing are Ministry relics.

Method of Operation
The Cannon consists of five main elements: The beam generator, which creates the focused energy beam, usually three supplementary beam holders, which projects energy on to the beam and surrounds it, and finally the discharger. The discharger is perhaps the most valuable piece that can be found, as it filters raw energy and focuses it into a directed energy beam. The discharger can aim the cannon with the help of a human operator.

Manafacturers
Dlatsa were the original creators of the cannon format, however many have been manufactured from different companies. All Ministry Charge Cannons were sourced from Fokus Technology and UNiT Corp.

Modern Types
Charge Cannons have mainly been succeeded by Hyper Cannons and similar.
