It may not look like one, but the Starcannon is the smallest Plasma weapon deployed by Craftworld Eldar.

The Starcannon fires Plasma in many smaller pulses as opposed to single stronger ones, using sophisticated electromagnetic pulses to guide bolts of destructive plasma to a target. Though its Plasma core produces the incandescent heat of a star, unlike its crude and clumsy Imperial counterparts the Starcannon uses sophisticated containment fields to not only prevent the weapon overheating, but going as far as to keep it cool to the touch. Unless you count their Sunburst Grenades, this is as small as it gets for the category. Though its shape is somewhat similar to a few other weapons, there are a couple of ways for you to tell a Starcannon apart.

Most distinctive is the Plasma coil, but since that part is sometimes covered by a shroud, the second most distinctive part you may look for is the trinity of canisters at the very back of the weapon. As practically the Plasma Cannon for the Craftworld Eldar, the Starcannon sees a healthy militaristic application. [[Guardian|Guardian Defenders]] may mount one on their [[Support Weapon Battery|Heavy Weapons Platform,]] and Wraith constructs may similarly do so as well on their shoulders. Smaller vehicles such as [[Vyper]]s and [[Eldar War Walker|War Walkers]] may also has the gun attached. Larger vehicles such as the [[Wave Serpent]] and the [[Falcon]] may have one as part of their turrets. Finally, [[Crimson Hunter]] Exarchs may swap the usual pair of Bright Lances with Starcannons.

Since the Starcannon doesn't blow up ever, the fact that humanity uses a weapon that could maim and/or kill the wielder is seen by the Eldar as a testament to [[Derp|our idiocy]]. That said, if they're so reliable, it begs the question as to why the Eldar never created a handheld version of the Starcannon for use by their infantry like the Imperium and the Tau.
