| - Highly Ionized Plasma Cannon-Mark one (HIPC-1)
* Designation: Starfighter
* Type: Ranged, Ionized Plasma
* Size: Same as an starfighter sized Ion cannon
* Cost:10,000 Credits per unit
* Ammo Type: Tibanna Gas, and power generators
* Firing Settings: Fire linked or seperate
* Rate of Fire: Equal to that of a blaster cannon
* Maximum range: 10,000 kilometers Description: The Highly Ionized plasma cannon is a weapon made to replace the Ion Cannon, and laser cannon. It will disale sheilds quicker than a normal blaster cannon due to the ionized properties of the weapon. Unfortunately the scientists have not been able to increase the amount of damage done to the enemies' ships, having half the penetration of a blaster cannon. The shots can be charged to do damage equivalent to a C-4 explosive, but are only effective against larger and/or slower ships. Production can start immediatly on any starfighter, or support ship. Damage: Energy Shields:
* Light Sheilds:Down with on direct hit.
* Medium Sheilds: Down with 2 direct hits
* Heavy Sheilds: Down with 4 Direct hits Physical Armor:
* Light Armour: Massive damage, high possibilty of penetration and damage of internal "organs"+ Moderate Ionization damage (about half a starfighter's ion cannon)
* Medium Armour:Moderate Damage, possible penetration and damage of internal "organs"+ Moderate Ionization damage (about half a starfighter's ion cannon)
* Heavy Armour: Light Damage, low possiblity of penetration and damage of internal "organs"+ Moderate Ionization damage (about half a starfighter's ion cannon) Link to patent approval
