A UIR Artillery Battery was a large, triple-barrelled heavy artillery emplacement used by the Union of Independent Republics to defend strategic sites. One such Artillery Battery was built on the Vasgari coast to defend OZP-11, the UIR's secret cosmodrome, against potential sea-borne invasion by the Coalition of Ordered Governments.
Background[]
The shells used by UIR Artillery Batteries were of the same size and length as the COG's, and were large enough to pose a significant threat towards COG Tanks, Centaurs, and naval vessels such as the RNV Borascu, a UIR Cargo Ship.
A few of these artillery batteries were still found in Vasgar during the Swarm War in 42 A.E., albeit unattended and abandoned. Several Nomads were freed by Delta Squad from being podded by a Snatcher in one of the artillery emplacements.
