+Neutron cannons’ enhanced armour penetration makes them attractive for vessels that prioritize firepower over precision. While their poor accuracy limits their use in rapid-response or defensive scenarios, their heavy hitting power allows them to cripple or destroy enemy hulls with sustained fire.
+Their prevalence on armed merchant cruisers and pirate ships reflects their role as “rough and ready” weapons---simple, brutal, and unburdened by the restrictions of military-grade fire control systems or treaties. In less regulated sectors of space, a neutron cannon can be a terrifying deterrent or an effective tool for opportunistic raiders.
