The Railgun was an electromagnetic, charge-shot artillery emplacement manufactured by DB Industries for the restored Coalition of Ordered Governments in the post-Locust War era. A number of Railguns were installed along the New Ephyra defensive wall. Although very slow to charge, a single shot from a Railgun was devastatingly powerful.
History[]
During the Battle of Old Ephyra in 42 A.E., Railguns played an integral role in the defense of New Ephyra after the Swarm destroyed the Hammer of Dawn targeting beacons that Gear squads had deployed across the old city and the Kraken advanced to the new city's wall. [1]
Delta-One distracted the Kraken by shooting its tongues, allowing the nearest intact Railgun to re-charge and grievously wound the gargantuan creature.
One Railgun alone was insufficient to kill the Kraken, but it did buy enough time for the Hammer of Dawn to be reactivated, which obliterated the Kraken and forced the Swarm to withdraw.[2]
Behind the scenes[]
- The Railgun appears to be an up-scaled version of the EMBAR Railgun, also manufactured by DB Industries.
