User:SheWhoKnows/List of Starship Weaponry in the After War Era

The following is a list of starship weaponry used by the races of the Milky Way Galaxy after the Human-Covenant War, and will be categorized based on type (turrets, cannons, etc).

Turrets

 * Galilean Turrets:Galilean Turrets are used by both the UNSC and the Yanme'e Emirates. They are specially modified Spartan Lasers mounted on dual firing platforms onboard almost all UNSC and Yanme'e ships. Very powerful in numbers, they use up alot of energy and need powerful generators or reactors to operate at full strength.


 * LAST Turrets:LAST Turrets (Light Anti Spacecraft Turret) fire large 50 inch rounds at high velociies, and are exclusively used by the UNSC. They can use different types of rounds, and the most commonly encountered use flechettes.


 * Point Defense Plasma Turrets:These turrets are almost exactly the same as point defense laser turrets, however they use plasma instead of lasers. These are also used on both Yanme'e and UNSC ships.


 * HAST Turrets:HAST Turrets (Heavy Anti Spacecraft Turrets) fire small yet high explosive rounds and are used primarily to destroy dropships and bombers. They are used exclusively by the UNSC.


 * EMP Turret:EMP Turrets (everybody here should know what an EMP is) "fire" electromagnetic pulses to fry electronics a board ships and fighters. They are lightly armored and are used by the UNSC, Yanme'e, Grunt Republic, and by the remnanats of the Jackal Clan Alliance.

Main Starship Weapons
These weapons are the bad boys of any fleet, and almsot every ship has 1 or more. They will be categorized the same way as the turrets.


 * MAC/RR:The Magnetic Accelerator Cannon/RadRound is used only onboard Yanme'e ships powered by nuclear reactors. The MAC rounds are filled with left over radioactive waste and fired at enemy ships, damaging the ship while simultaneously spreading radiation sickness to enemy sailors. They are used only after shields have been taken down by a regular MAC round or other weapon.


 * Pulse Beam:Pulse Beams fire plasma energy in concentrated bursts and easily punch through shielding and Titanium-A Battle plating. They are used on board Sangheili-Lekgolo Diarchy vessels and take up alot of energy, which means it has to be used sparingly.
