===Armament===
As a gunship, the G78-TC Pelican is armed with a and a 290 mm howitzer, both of which are mounted under the chin, and a pair of missile pods mounted on either side of the fuselage just under the wings, similar to how the are integrated.
The 290 mm plasma howitzer fires projectiles shaped by strong magnetic fields at a maximum rate of fire of 37.5 rounds per minute. The magnetic field of each plasma bolt collapses either on impact or after the projectile has traveled a distance of 85 kilometers (53 miles). These plasma bolts are guided but are not maneuverable enough to track aerial targets, relegating the howitzer to air-to-surface bombardment and allowing the G78 to serve as an aerial artillery piece.
The G78's missile pods are loaded with short-range aerospace-to-aerospace missiles that detonate by proximity fuze. Each missile pod can deliver one missile every two seconds, and each missile possesses a maximum operational range of 35 kilometers (22 miles).
