When preparing to fire==Overview==These cannons were massive armaments, energy would flare along whose size could run the entire length of the vessel, arcs of purple and blue energy leaping from one vane to the next. Moving from bow to stern in succession. A few seconds later another surge of lightning would ripple down the starshipa warship. With the pause between surges being shorted by the passing of every few seconds. Pulses of cerulean fire would enveloped the warship almost constantly. While in orbit above a battlefield, it would seem as though a violet star sprang into life in the skies above. All while back within space, the vessel would be awash with swirling energy, the void around it buckling and twisting kilometre-long vanes like a warped mirror. The flare of power casting impossible shadows against the vacuum vertebrae of space itself. {{Fn|1}} The bolt would then be discharged, and in the instant that followed a rift blast would expand around the target.
