===Hephaestus Variant Godsbane Lance Batteries===
The Godsbane variant lance battery is an ancient pattern of high technological demand and maintenance requirements that typically only older grand cruisers and battleships possess the requirements to mount them. Due to innovations to the focusing systems by the former Forge-Master Primus, Gabriel Locus, in the year 826M38, the Godsbane Lance system has been able to be mounted on smaller ships of the Imperial Navy, though high power requirements remain an issue. These lances are extremely long range to the point where beam dispersion becomes a problem, in addition to this, firing into an atmosphere is a problem due to rapid energy bleed off when the beams coherency is broken due to atmospheric interference and is therefore ill-suited for orbital bombardment.
