The Apocalypse Cannon

By Bheader, in Rogue Trader Gamemasters

Introduced in 'Stars of Inequity' as the target of Ork Freebooter - Kaptin Graffletz I wondered if any GMs have run with this one?

If one campaign had gone on longer, perhaps. I had notions about what the gun might be. A giant vortex cannon, equivalent to a ship scaled D-cannon was one idea.

Alternatively, that the technology might not have been intended as a weapon caused me to think of the Genesis device from Star Trek. A terraforming system that could be aimed at moons and planets, changing continents at a time. Which of course would easily double as a horrendously destructive weapon.

Already planning on using it. My idea is a massive spacial distortion ray.

You know that massive ****** up portion of spacially distorted 'trench' below the Screaming Vortex? That's because of mass deployment of Apocolypse Cannons during the early days of the Age of Strife.

Can't wait for my players to come upon a star system that seems to have been twisted in on itself, the planets torn and stripped into bizare shapes. I wonder if they'll think it's warp fuckery or not first.
