Hellbore Cannons



Deuterium Slug Hell Bore Cannons, a weapon system developed by Terrans for the UES Bismarck in less than ten years and improved ever since. The DSHB Cannons gauss accelerated plutonium encased 1 kilo Deuterium slugs to near light speed. The relativistic energies developed obliterated any known shield or armor of any known space faring species ships at that time, if they hit their target.[1]Firing solutions were complicated at the beginning, but the Bismarck could fire broad sides from her swivel turrets using the shot gun principle. In 2158, the DSHB rotary gun borrowing on the age old Gatling principle increased the firing rate of those turrets to 1200 slugs a minute.
