The extended-range version of the particle projector cannon was one of the last weapons advancements of the Star League, debuting just seven years before the start of Stefan Amaris' coup. Essentially achieving its superior range through sheer brute force, the ER version of the PPC runs fifty percent hotter than its standard-model progenitor, but gains a third more range and is effective from muzzle to maximum range all for the same tonnage and bulk. (The Clan version, by comparison, is a bit more compact and one ton lighter, but gains an extra fifty percent of thermo-kinetic damage at no significant increase in reach.)
