Editing Plasma Artillery Cannon

{{image}}
'''Plasma Artillery Cannons''' are mounted weapons used by [[Elite Pirate]]s to launch disruptive projectiles in ''[[Metroid Prime (game)|Metroid Prime]]''.

Unlike other pieces of technology commonly used by [[Space Pirate]]s, the Plasma Artillery Cannons used by Elite Pirates were apparently not of Space Pirate origin. They were stolen from a warehouse belonging to a military division known as the [[Egenoid Star Marines]].<ref>{{cite|A shipment of military-grade Plasma Artillery Cannons is en route to Tallon IV.

The [[Omega Pirate]] variation, called the [[Plasma Incendiary Launcher]], shares none of the weaknesses of the Plasma Artillery Cannons.
