Repulse cannons

The repulsion or repulse cannon is a miniaturized version of tractor/repulsor technology. 
== Function ==
While the repulsion cannon cannot pick up items like a tractor beam can, it pushes objects away with much more force and for a longer distance than a tractor beam can. 
=== Usage ===
On the field, the Repulsion Cannon is particularly appreciated by biologists, where it is used to repel aggressive fauna. It can even repel Giants and Leviathans if aimed at the creature's head. Another use is to push debris away to unblock passageways such as ventilation systems or doors.
They are most often used used to move large objects away. This can be used offensively to keep targets at bay or as a mode of shipping cargo over medium distances up to 20 km.
=== Criticism ===
Due to its cumbersome size, repulse cannons are often fixed position weapons.
== Technology ==
A repulse cannon uses the same tractor beam technology utilized by Skycaller and tractor beam sites. The repulse cannon is a projected force field that manipulates gravitational forces to push or pull objects. Such devices are employed by the DCDEA in the tractor beam sites, creating an energy field that allows them to lock onto and move asteroids into their extraction holds.
Once inside the hold, the asteroid is either stripped for resources or converted into a satellite. 
===Gravity cannon===
Portable repulsor weapon. Requires a prestrike coating enveloping scan on the target.
