===Heavy Ion Cannon===

Remember the Starship-grade Ion Cannons we talked about earlier? Yeah, here it is in all its glory.

Resembling more like an oversized Tri-axis Ion Cannon, the Heavy Ion Cannon usually come in Batteries and are mounted on Tau Navy ships in the [[Kor'Vattra]], both Merchant Fleets and Warfleets.

As aforementioned before, these things are the Tau equivalent of a [[Lance Weapon]], as such, it is a great weapon when it comes to punching through [[Void shield]]s and armour. Unlike other races' lance weapons which are either fixed in-place like the [[Orks]], [[Tyranids]] and [[Eldar]] or semi-turreted like the [[Imperial Navy]] and [[Chaos]], the Tau aren't stupid and put theirs on an actual turret. This gives it full firing coverage, leaving no blind spots for the vessel. The catch is, of course, the limitation of weapons. The largest Tau Battleship could only carry around three to six of these things before it runs out of space, so it's gonna get out-[[Dakka|Dakka'ed]].

[[Tl;dr]], it is the biggest Ion weapon ever fielded, USE IT.
