 Being a hybrid weapon, the Navy series uses a mixture of chemical propellants, ignited, and the payload further accelerated down the barrel by a mass driver system. Effectively reducing the barrel length of the mass-driver, while also reducing the powder charge for effective velocity. There are no exotic materials or power requirements needed, making these weapons economical to deploy and use. Being a hybrid weapon, the Navy series uses a mixture of chemical propellants, ignited, and the payload further accelerated down the barrel by a mass driver system.

 +"Navy" Hybrids are large cannons even in the smallest calibres with extensive recoil management systems, rapid reloading mechanisms, and often cooling systems in rapid firing models. Due to the immense size of the warheads and propellant charges auto-loaders must be used, specifically with hydraulic buffer systems, however if needs be the gun can be reloaded, albeit much more slowly, via recoil only.

 The "Navy Two-Eighty" is a secondary armament on some light warships and a protective armament on some transport voidships to deter attacks. It's 280mm bore diameter is considered small by void artillery standards, but its ammunition is light and relatively easy to stow and feed to the guns. The "Navy Two-Eighty" is a secondary armament on some light warships and a protective armament on some transport voidships to deter attacks.

 The most common size, the "Navy Four-Hundred" is considered an optimal size for moderate firepower and capacity. It's 400mm bore can be effective against both lightly protected ships and heavy armor, while still making high rates of fire practical with basic equipment. The most common size, the "Navy Four-Hundred" is considered an optimal size for moderate firepower and capacity.
