| | 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. | | 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.

| − | {{: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.
| + | ===Test Particle Cannon Left=== |
| | | | |
| − | 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.

| |
| − | {{: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.

| |
| − | | |
| − | The Heavy railgun uses the same chamber firing and magnetic coil system to launch it's Projectiles at near light speeds, however the barrel has been expanded to allow for a larger projectile, often containing an additional shaped charge.
| |

| |
| − | | |
| − | The HCM works in the same way as the Chemical Beam Laser, however comes wit several injection chambers, surrounded by reflective panels to channel the several lower yield lasers into one larger beam.

| − | The Chemical Beam laser provides ICC ships with a 5 second burst of pure energy, inflicting massive damage to ships at close range. The CBL also provides ICC ships with a higher powered, but slower, point defence system against larger missiles or troop drop pods or a direct attack weapon on higher class ships.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The CBL 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 CBL is effective against most armour and shield types, however new Reflective armour technologies have reduced it's ability.

| |
| − | | |
| − | 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.

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.
