== Modified Shard Cannon ==
[[Engineers#Pre-Engineered modules|Pre-Engineered]] Class 1 and Class 2 Guardian Shard Cannons with [[Focused Weapon|Focused]], [[Long Range Weapon|Long Range]], and [[Penetrator Munitions]] named "Modified Shard Cannon" can be purchased from the Guardian [[Technology Broker]] at Prospect's Deep (Mbooni 3 a) in [[Mbooni]] (permit restricted system, requires allied status with [[Azimuth Biotech]]) (the second location where the weapons could be procured, before it's destruction, was the [[Bright Sentinel]]- a megaship owned by [[Azimuth Biotech]]). Unlike unlocking most other Technology Broker items, which makes them permanently available for purchase with [[credits]] at station outfitting services, exchanging the required materials for a Modified Shard Cannon immediately places one module in local storage at no additional cost. The module must also be unlocked repeatedly in order to obtain multiple copies, thus making it a purchase in exchange for materials, aka a Barter, not an unlock. Note that although the included modifications can be removed, [[Engineers]] cannot re-apply them or apply any other modifications to these modules.

Purchase (Barter) of each Class 1 version costs the following [[Materials]] and [[Commodities]]:
*1 [[Guardian Weapon Blueprint Fragment]]
*3 [[Guardian Power Conduit]]
*3 [[Guardian Wreckage Components]]
*4 [[Guardian Sentinel Weapon Parts]]
*2 [[Germanium]]

Purchase (Barter) of each Class 2 version costs the following Materials and Commodities:
*1 [[Guardian Weapon Blueprint Fragment]]
*5 [[Guardian Wreckage Components]]
*5 [[Guardian Technology Component]]
*4 [[Germanium]]
*2 [[Power Converter]]
