Essentially a rapid-fire capital-sized flak cannon, the Devastator was developed by the Domain Armada using generic parts in response to a rebellious world which managed to acquire an extensive set of fighter LPCs .

–In-Game Description


Notes

Due to spraying an area in High Explosive damage instead of fragmentation like the smaller flak cannons, this weapon is effective against lighter frigates and destroyers rather than just fighters and missiles (which it still shreds). For larger targets it can still be effective, but will take some time (and a closer range) to strike them down so more or all of the shots hit the target instead of dispersing.
