NHD-52577 artillery platform

"Field tests clearly demonstrate that although the NHD-52577 is effective, there are concerns about commanders overzealously using it for deliberate collateral damage to amuse themselves..."

- Excerpt from a Necasian report

The  was an artillery piece used by the Necasian Military during the Cruentusian War. Although immobile, it was easily set up and deployed, and had a range of several hundred miles. Nominally, it fired high-explosive shells through its four-barrelled cannon, although Necasian commanders often tailored it for their own preferences--for example, Emela Makakson usually loaded it with napalm shells, reflecting her affinity for flame weaponry. Nonetheless, it was quite flimsy, and enemy soldiers siezing one and using it against its soldiers was always a worry amongst Necasian comanders.
