Information:

Fighters provide the bulk of a capital ship's defenses, but the largest ships also lay down heavy flak barrages. Although Flak Cannon rounds are not dangerous singly, they can widely distribute damage over a large area with rapid, continuous fire. Flak Cannons are used for point-defense against torpedoes, in addition to close-range combat with fighters.
