| |
| − | | |
| − | The most common UGTO armament, the UGTO Particle Cannon is a favorite among captains for its reliability, manageable power usage, sustainable damage, and excellent range. This weapon functions by drawing power directly from the ships main engines, containing charged sub-atomic particles in a magnetically charged sphere. Once charged, the sphere is transferred to the cannon itself, where it can be sustained until ready to fire. Since the cannon fires in a five round burst however, a cannon will not be ready to be fired until five charged rounds are held in containment for that weapon.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Due to its energy based nature, the Particle Cannon is only limited by the energy reserves of the ship in regards to ammo. However one major drawback to the weapon is that as the round travels, the magnetic field surrounding the charged particles begins to weaken, commanders are advised to close the distance as much as possible before firing.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Particle Cannon can replace the EMP Cannon on available allied worlds, for 60 resources and 5 technology.

| − | {{:Heavy Particle Cannon}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | Realizing the need for a heftier armament, UGTO engineers came up with a way to better stabilize the magnetic capture of the sub-atomic particles and thus a heavier payload could be formed. Thus, the Heavy Particle Cannon was developed, capable of dishing out twice the firepower of a normal particle cannon and improved range. However as it was a larger mount and required a specialized framework, it could not replace existing smaller Particle Cannons.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Heavy Particle Cannon is found on a few specialized smaller capital ships, but its mostly reserved for Cruisers and Dreadnought class capitals.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It can replace the Heavy EMP Cannon on available allied worlds, for 120 resources and 10 technology.

| − | ===EMP Cannon===
| |
| − | | |
| − | The UGTO Electromagnetic Pulse weapon is a replacement option for the standard Particle Cannon. For UGTO commanders that prefer to take the rebels alive, this cannon's primary function is to do system damage, potentially disabiling enemy ships. It does however, do very little damage to all types of shield, armor, and hull, so it is best used in combination with other weapons (such as torpedos) to punch through the outer layers, as the shielding of even the thinnest armor prevents system damage.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Unlike the Particle cannon, it is fired in a four round burst, due to a common (but largely debunked) UGTO superstition that excessive firing of the cannon would disable their own ship.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Like all UGTO cannons, this weapon suffers from diminishing returns at extreme ranges, commanders are advised to use their primary armaments as close as possible for maximum effectiveness.
| |
| − | | |
| − | This weapon requires no ammo, and may be purchased from available friendly planets for 150 resources and 25 technology.

| |
| − | | |
| − | Once UGTO engineers discovered how to develop a heavier payload for the Particle Cannon, it wasn't long before they applied the same technology towards the EMP cannon. Delievering twice the payload of a normal EMP round, this hefty armament is mostly found on a few specialized smaller capital ships but is mostly for use on Cruiser and Dreadnought capital ships.
| |
| − | | |
| − | It can replace the Heavy Particle Cannon on available allied worlds, for 300 resources and 45 technology.

| |
| − | {{:Railgun}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | The is the standard cannon device for most ICC ships, with a Magazine of 90 rounds and the ability to fire 5 accelerated projectiles every 3 seconds. Captains are warned the Railgun provides the same yield regardless of distance or time.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Railgun works in a sequential launch sequence, collecting a preloaded projectile in it's firing chamber and charging it with magnetic energy, once the order for launch has been given, the chamber floor pushes the projectile into the barrel, where rings of super magnetic coils accelerate the projectile to near light speeds. This occurs at a standard rate of 5 projectiles every 3 seconds to ensure the Railgun does not overheat, but evidence from recent pirate skirmishes shows that this can be increased when required.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The standard Railgun costs a Captain 30 resources and can only be bought from suppliers with a technology rating of 5 or higher.

| |
| − | {{:Standard Chemical Laser}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Standard Chemical Laser (and the ICC equivalent Chemical Beam laser) is a human-only laser-chemical based beam that is a mount on most ships with a 5 second burst of pure energy, inflicting massive damage to ships at close range. The SCL also provides human ships with a higher powered, but slower, point defence system against larger missiles or against troop pods attempting to land.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The SCL operates with by reacting a gas and two oxide based liquids in a chamber, which produces super dense oxygen atoms. Another chemical is them injected into the laser itself initiating an additional reaction resulting in a high yield beam.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Captains are warned the SCL is effective against most armour and shield types, however new Reflective armour technologies have reduced it's ability.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The UGTO version is unmoddable. On ICC, the CBL can replace the Pulse laser on available allied worlds for 45 resources and 5 technology.

| |
| − | {{:Flux Beam}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | A unique weapon among the various factions, the Flux Beam is a UGTO only weapon similar to the EMP cannon but much more devastating, and its distinguished by its bright golden beam. Using UGTO researched Flux technology, this weapon fires a beam of charged particles at a molecular level designed to disrupt cohesion. While doing very little physical damage, it does tremendous amounts of damage to exposed systems on the hull, producing an ear piercing scream as the electrical equipment of the ship is pulled apart at the sub-atomic scale. The only drawback is its very short range, proving only to valuable in close range fights, though its sound is known to be demoralizing to enemy crews.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The weapon is currently unmoddable, and is a medium class beam found only on UGTO ships.

| |
| − | {{:Pulse Beam}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Pulse Beam provides ICC ships with a tactical point defence option without affecting power. The Pulse Beam has a low yield charge designed to destroy close non-ship targets. The Pulse Beam tracks a targets engine emissions and fires when within range.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Pulse beam works with a single, low yield high intensity beam of light energy pulsing through lenses designed to magnify the beam onto a small area. Using this low yield system allows the Pulse Beam to trigger far quicker than other Chemical based Lasers.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Captains are warned the Pulse Beam cannot target torpedo's, as they are propelled at launch and do not have engines. (and therefore no emissions)
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Pulse Beam costs a Captain 50 resources and can only be bought from suppliers with a technology rating of 15 or higher.

Ever since the begenning of the Cold War era we wanted the most powerful delivered explosions possible but had to limit our science as to not destroy mankind but now in wide space, rules change which means we could put just about anything in a rod with fins on it and launch it at something. Missiles come in 3 tiers 1 2 and 3.

| |
| − | ===Proton Torpedo===
| |
| − | {{:Proton Torpedo}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | It wasn't until after the Third Stellar Conflict that the UGTO began to invest in true torpedo technology, after suffering from the devastating effects of ICC's Fusion torpedo. Drawing on many of the same principles as the particle cannon, the Proton torpedo was developed as a pay to punch through ICC shield technology at close range. By containing a much larger array of sub-atomic particles in a shaped charge, they were able to concentrate a much larger payload than the Fusion torpedo.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Since more of the power comes from the drives itself than its ICC counterpart, it takes longer to charge and to fire, but its capable of crippling effects on ICC defense systems. Though to many UGTO captains dismay, not quite as effective against ICC shields as they hoped, it still proved to be just as strong against ICC's less developed armor.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The Proton torpedo is an ammo based weapon, having fewer charges than the ICC Fusion torpedo but more than the K'luth Anti-matter torpedo. It has average statistics across the board for damage, speed, and energy consumption, making it an excellent choice in close range assaults. It is not currently moddable.

| − | ===Fusion Torpedo===
| |
| − | {{:Fusion Torpedo}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | Continuing with the ICC theme of range and speed, ICC engineers developed the Fusion torpedo as an effective means of engaging the heavily armored capital ships of the UGTO armada in the early days of the Third Stellar Conflict. Using a shaped charge containing a fusion warhead, ICC ships use the same magnetically powered rails to launch these torpedoes, giving them the farthest range and speed of all the torpedoes, while taking the least to fire. Unfortunately in order to do this, the payload is significantly downsized and thus has the lowest yield of all torpedoes.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Fusion torpedoes are ammo based, and larger ships have a slightly smaller amount due to their slightly larger yield. They cannot be switched out for other armaments.

| − | ===Quantum Singularity Torpedo===
| |
| − | {{:Quantum Singularity Torpedo}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | Developed by UGTO weapons scientists as the final answer to capital ships, the Quantum Singularity Torpedo behaves more like a semi-automatic cannon. Sub-atomic particles are suspended in a quantum state in a shaped charge, and using tremendous amounts of energy, can be fired over extreme distances. Upon contact, the charge ruptures, distorting the quantum state at the target site, ripping apart armor and hull alike, doing the damage equivalent of four standard particle cannons. Highly dangerous, many commanders were warned to take precautions when using these weapons, warnings that generally went unheeded.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Several safety measures were finally undertaken when ICC sabatours managed to board an Elite Assault Dreadnought and detonate the entire cache of QST's currently onboard. There was not much left of the ship left to identify, and it is still strongly cautioned not to detonate QSTs in the immediate vicinity of allied ships for fear of any chain reaction.
| |
