The '''Distortion Cannon''' or '''D-Cannon''' is an a [[vortex weapon]] and the most dangerous of all [[Eldar]] heavy support weaponweapons. Using the same technology which allows ships to enter the nightmare realm of the [[Warp]], the D-Cannon causes area of the material universe to momentarily collapse in on itself, essentially creating a miniature warp hole. If the target is lucky then violent, complex gravitational forces will merely tear it to pieces, guaranteeing almost certain death to living creatures or total wreckage to vehicles. If not, the target is sucked completely into warp space.{{Fn|1}}{{Fn|2}}{{Fn|3}}
A Even those outside the affected area can suffer from adverse consequences as the distortion of reality itself causes people and object to be spatially displaced, potentially causing further damage. The only disadvantage of the D-Cannon uses small [[warp]] engines to create is that by Eldar standards it is a temporary hole between warp short-ranged and real space on the battlefieldinaccurate weapon.<sup>1</sup> This warp-space rift is then projected towards To an enemy. Anything it touches is torn momentarily from real space. Although extent the target D-Cannon's unpredictability is not forced into warp space to be expected, especially for more than a fraction weapon which makes mockery of a second, the immense wrenching force exerted on them in that time will dismember all but laws of the strongest of targets, and cripple most vehiclesuniverse.{{Fn|1}}
A side effect of the actual rift itself is a distorting effect on the physical space the warp will have. As a consequence objects and people will often be 'pulled' towards the rift or 'dragged' along in its wake as it travels. Items that travel in this way will not actually move as such, but the place they were originally will be folded to the place where their destination is, such is the effect warp space has on reality.
