![]() The station MARC, accelerates the 3,310 pound round towards 50 % the speed of light. They can't do much to planetary objects, but can fire and even "one shot" star dreadnoughts if conditions are right. Using a similar system to the the victory class. There are not as many of station MARCs as victory MARCS yet work together. It's tremendously powerful and devastating. The station Version is essentially a large orbiting space station, built around the MARC. MARC station cannons are the most powerful rail cannons in production. Speed is not something you wish In a weapon system like this. Yes these modifications make it extremely slow. The engines have been removed and was replaced with 6 "360° engines" which are basically standard engines with a nozzle that is able to traverse the ship and almost very direct, side to side, "up" and "down" diagonally or a like traditional ship. It's shape was bent downwards and the delta wing-esk shape the victory had was perfect for heat distribution. As everything on the ship was gutted and the ship itself was rebuilt to be able to hold the massive MARC cannon. But the star destroyer looks nothing like it used to be. The reason for the name "victory cannon" is because it was built into the frame and hull of a victory class star destroyer. ![]() Yet had a range of 3 lunar distances(where power is dropped exponentially) where at this range only has 1,400 mega tons of force. Giving it only an effective rang of 1/2 lunar distance. The fasted the round will ever go is right when the muzzle ends. Where it slows too 24% the speed of light, yet even by then it would have the mass of a large star ship funneled into one round. After being thrown out a gun around 30 % the speed of light, relativity begins to give it an even greater mass. There where it leaves the MARC, relativity takes after. Not being pushed into hyperspace, but is pushed into a percentage of the speed of light as it reaches the muzzle of the gun. Once it reaches the middle of the cannon, it meets the hyperdrive. Then the round its accelerated to an even faster speed. Being transferred to the magnetic rail that incloses the top and bottom of the barrel. When fired the first electromagnetic pulls the bullet into a extremely fast speed. Were when the bullet and it's casing sits until the MARC is charged and ready to fire. Known as the "breach" it's the loading chamber essentially. The round is loaded into the barrel in the rear of the cannon. Using a bolt that's 1,403 pounds in cased in a metal shell so it may travel in the cannon easier. The victory cannon type MARC gun is a rail cannon that is about 832 meters long.
