Standard ground-based Macrocannons fire massive and explosive shells at a maximum range of around 40km. Although it is possible to mount them on heavy vehicles, they are more suited for use in emplacements and static defence due to their considerable size and potency.{{Fn|1}}
VoidOn spaceships, dozens of individual Macrocannons are grouped together as a [[Weapons battery|Macrobattery]], forming a single broadside.{{Fn|2a}} These voidborne cannons are significantly larger than their terrestrial counterparts and are able to accurately hit targets at distances ranging from tens of thousands of kilometres{{Fn|8}} to half a million kilometres.{{Fn|9}} Some void-based [[Macro-weapon|Macro-weapons]] have an effective range comparable to a [[Nova Cannon]], which fire fires projectiles at close to the speed of light{{Fn|7}} at targets up to two-light minutes away.{{Fn|710}}
They are a [[Standard Template Construct]], and often form the primary weapon of starships {{Fn|2}}, as part of [[Weapons Battery|weapons batteries]].{{Fn|7}}
