	The Mass Accelerator Cannon, Caliber 1400mm, KH179, was originally developed for the Astraeus class of Cruisers near the start of the Wizard War, the KH179 has served as the primary heavy weapons system of the fleet for decades. Celebrated for its reliability, the KH179 is chambered for the 1400x2000 MAC round. By harnessing focused gravitic fields, similar to those made by artificial gravity generators, the KH179 forms the first stage of a two stage weapon system. These gravitic coils accelerate the round out of the ship to a safe distance where the onboard rocket motor performs terminal acceleration and guidance. A ~~wide~~ variety of ammunition is available, with differing capabilities depending on the round.
