The Bruiser is also notable for the light weight of its ammunition, allowing an Unathi to carry a shell without need of mechanical assistance - minimizing the expensive equipment that a vessel might require to fight. The Model I Bruiser was inaccurate, slow to fire and prone to overheating, leading to the design of the commonly-used Hegemony Model II 'Bruiser', largely seen on the corvettes and destroyers of the Izweski Navy. The Model II is faster, more accurate and capable of firing at much higher velocities, enabling the smaller ships of the Navy to punch above their weight class in battle."
