Railgun

A railgun fires a conductive projectile at relativistic speeds by propelling it along two electromagnetic rails connected to a strong power supply. A railgun requires ammunition from an ammunition cache with which the weapon is associated. A railgun is aimed and fired from a weapon terminal with which it is associated.

The power level of a railgun, and therefore speed of the projectile and its potential damage, can be adjusted at a weapon terminal. The power level can be raised beyond 100% to as high a level as the ship's energy production and energy storage components can support.

Requires: Electricity, ammunition
