Description
A massive accelerator drives specialized projectiles to extreme velocity along a precisely aligned firing axis. Fixed survey equipment, predictive fire-control computers, and remote sensor data are required to calculate firing solutions at strategic distances. The weapon is suited to siege operations, denial of fixed approach corridors, and attacks upon large installations in space. Its foundations, power demand, and firing signature require extensive protection and prepared logistics.
