The SHERMAN (Super Heavy Exotic-shielded Relativistic MAss driving Nucleus) cannon is the primary gun of the Human battlecruisers. Named after a renowned general of the 19th century, it is the largest payload weapon of the human Navy, with a kinetic energy force equal to 9.6 megatons of TNT. Its use as the main gun of Human battlecruisers is due to its unique ability. When fired, the projectile's exotic matter core produces anomalous gravitational fields that disrupt both FTL and sub-light speed propulsion, fields which can be adjusted by the weapon operator before firing.
