XSTR("The Vulcan is a ballistic gattling cannon used to perform a large amount of damage in a small time. However, unlike energy weapons, there is ammunition usage to consider. Each Vulcan shell does paltry damage, but the fire rate of the cannon means accurate use will result in a higher number of kills. The Vulcan's standard designation means all fighters capable of carrying ballistic cannons can utilise it.", -1)
