Conglomerate Orbital Defense Cannon

"I love using these things! If anything can protect a planet, it's highly energized plasma shot at 300 miles an hour!'

- Gortanian Corporal, Empirius

The Conglomerate Orbital Defense Cannon is one of the most powerful weapons that can be used for planetary defense. It was manufactured using a combination of ancient Human technology and Conglomerate plasma weaponry.

Overview
These massive cannons are often fixed to the main body of an artificial satellite orbiting a planet. The cannons are able to fire a huge pulse of super conductive plasma.

Controls
The cannons can either be operated through a "gunner" in the actual satellite or, more commonly, a controller on the surface of the assigned planet. It is required that in order to operate one of the cannons, you must recieve special training in the Galactic Armada.

Appearance
As said, the cannons are often attached to a satellite in high orbit of a planet. Traditionally, the cannon will be double or even triple barreled, in the event that one barrel were to fail. The plasma that is launched from the barrel is extraordinarily hot, so the cannon will have to have a thick hull to protect valuable equipment from being damaged and/or destroyed. Three large coolant tanks must also be attached to keep the cannon at a constant, stable temperature.
