Icarus Autocannon

The Icarus Autocannon is a type of Autocannon that is used primarily by the Questor Imperialis, the Imperial Knights, and by the Knights of the Questor Traitoris, the Renegade Knights. The Icarus Autocannon is mounted to the Knight's chassis, on the upper-most part of its carapace. The weapon is linked directly to the Throne Mechanicum and targeting is aided by a servo-mind conclave. With but the merest of thought from the Knight's pilot, the weapon can quickly pivot and track incoming enemy flyers at impossibly fast speeds to let loose a stream of deadly fire. The shells from the Icarus Autocannon can scythe off enemy aircraft wings and rip aircraft from the skies, turning them into nothing but flaming wreckage. The Icarus Autocannon is also capable of firing upon ground based targets, tearing infantry to shreds and ripping through light armour.

Variants
Due to the sheer diversity of Knight Worlds and Forge Worlds in the Imperium there exist a multitude of minor variants of the Icarus Autocannon. All known variants of the Icarus Autocannon are as follows:


 * Twin-linked Icarus Autocannon - The standard variant of the Icarus Autocannon used by Knight Titans, this version features two twin-linked together.


 * Single Icarus Autocannon - An uncommon variant of the Icarus Autocannon, featuring only a single cannon, this version lacks the firepower of the standard twin-linked version.


 * Quad Icarus Autocannon - An rarer variant of the Icarus Autocannon, featuring four cannons all linked together. This variant features an increased rate-of-fire over the standard twin-linked version.
