Magnus Cannon

The Magnus Cannon is one of the largest armaments in the Pax-Viribus Theocracy's arsenal. High-efficiency lenticular cells draw in solar energy, storing it in structural capacitor banks. once discharged, a gas-encapsulated spear of pure light energy is ejected from the forward port at near light speed, instantly emulsifying any conventional armor types it comes into contact with. 
While large and cumbersome, the Magnus Cannon has multiple firing modes due to its design specifications. This allows the operator to tailor the output for a variety of threats, which provides added utility to the weapon system. The technology employed the cannon's operation was developed by Pontiff Bernard Stoltenkamp, who had studied and conducted his experiments at the Groenings Facility located in the port city of Zion. Much of PVT technology uses thermally-based engineering principles, being heavily influenced by earlier designs shown to them by The Sacred Wanderers.
