M19 Squire

The M19 Squire saw service, after the first EMRA the M30 Dominator was introduced. It was clear that even though an EMRA was able to deal catastrophic damage to a ship, its need for power was to great to deal with every threat. Though the Squire is mainly used as a secondary weapon, it is an improtant part of every ships arsenal.

Nowadays its found on alot of different ships and is one of the main weapons in ship-to-ship-combat.

Since it is not as fast as the M12 Servant it is not meant to deal with fighters.

Mounting

Its small size and universal mount allows it to be mounted on pretty much every ship.

Ammunition

The M19 Squire uses 30mm high-explosive DUTA-shells.

Aiming

Because there is no air-resistance in space a bullet that is fired is only affected by the gravitational pull of celestial objects or G-Drives. Because of that the perfomance of conventional weapons is boosted, however unlike the M12 Servant the M19 Squire is usually controlled manually, though it can be controlled by an R-AI.

Firing

It is fired via an electircal impulse given by the fire-control-center on board a ship.
