"Nova" Plasma Cannon

A heavy weapon, a currently rare weapon in the Zodiac Empire due to issues regarding resources needed for construction and maintenance, it is designed to be used against clustered targets.  It operates by hyper compressing plasma until low-yeild, semi-self sustaining fusion begins.  The plasma is then accelerated out of a mass driver style barrel at the target.  Depending on the settings, the plasma mass will loose containment at a desired distance and, quite literally, go 'nova', hence the name of the cannon.
These see heavy use by the Holy Terran Empire.
