The '''heavy artillery''' is a [[Forerunner]] anti-air cannon and close-in weapon system that comprises the '''Z-8250 Anti-Ship Exterior Defense Network''' along with the [[Z-8250 light artillery|light artillery]]. Used for the defense of Forerunner ships and terrestrial installations alike, it fires guided bursts of ionized particles. While the artillery can operate independently, it is most commonly used to support and defend larger weapons, such as [[Z-8060 Particle Cannon|particle cannons]].<ref name="evg">'''[[Halo 4: The Essential Visual Guide]]''', ''page 104''</ref> | The '''heavy artillery''' is a [[Forerunner]] anti-air cannon and close-in weapon system that comprises the '''Z-8250 Anti-Ship Exterior Defense Network''' ('''Z-8250 ASEDN''') along with the [[Z-8250 light artillery|light artillery]].
