The  is a submachine gun available to the Vanu Sovereignty. It is unlocked through purchase with Certification Points or Daybreak Cash.

The Vanu Esamir - S Canis is a 3rd generation submachine gun released alongside the  MGR-S1 Gladius and  MG-S1 Jackal as part of a series of empire specific weapons, each breaking the convention of that faction's SMGs and bringing unique attachments to table. For the Canis, these attachments are the Vented Power Core, Unstable Ammunition and Emission Condenser.

Almost as though ripped from a Terran weapon, the Canis' unique mechanic causes the fire rate to increase over 2.5 seconds while the gun is being fired, up to 667 RPM. This bonus resets immediately upon releasing the trigger.

History

 * December 7, 2017 Update
 * Added to the live game.
 * December 13, 2017 Hotfix
 * Unstable Ammunition headshot multiplier has been reduced from 2x to 1.2x
 * Unstable Ammunition projectile collision size has been scaled back a bit.
 * Unstable Ammunition now uses different particle effects.
 * Dev Note: We'll be reviewing the state of all three of the new SMGs after these changes go Live, to determine whether further adjustments are needed.
 * February 8, 2018 Update
 * Unstable Ammunition no longer penalizes cone of fire.
 * Base rate of fire from 500rpm to 550rpm
 * Dev Note: The baseline rate of fire increase helps push Canis into a more competitive position. Unstable Ammunition dropped the cone of fire penalty, as the more recent headshot multiplier reduction was sufficient to balance out the power of the attachment.
 * October 16, 2019 Update
 * Hipfire maximum cone of fire from 7 to 2 in most movement states.
 * ADS maximum cone of fire from 3 to 1.5 in most movement states.
 * Changed the model visuals on the VE-S Canis Emission Condenser Attachment.
 * Dev Note: Holding down the trigger will cap out the cone of fire bloom at around half way through the magazine when used with an advanced laser sight, and earlier without, leaning a bit harder into the weapon's spinup characteristics.
