The '''Distortion Cannon''' or '''D-Cannon''' is an [[Eldar]] heavy support weapon.
It uses technology, similar in form to the engines found on spacecraft which enables the move into and out of a small [[Warp|warp]] space, but is considerably improved by Eldar knowledge. The D-Cannon is capable of rending engines to create a temporary holes hole between warp and real space on the battlefield. When operated, the gun produces a low, droning noise, which builds into a piercing shriek of a crescendo, at which point a beam of inky darkness spews out <sup>1</sup> This warp-space interface is then projected toward the intended targetan enemy. Everything that Anything it touches is subjected to great stress created by the bolt of darkness is torn momentarily from interface between real space. Although the target is not forced into warp space for more than a fraction of a second, the immense wrenching force exerted on them in that time will dismember all but the strongest of targets, and cripple most vehicles. 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 These stresses are strong enough to damage even the place where their destination is, such is the effect warp space has on realitymost heavily armored vehicle.
