The '''''Ra'aam''-pattern burst cannon'''{{Ref/Book|Id=Enc22|Enc22|Page=305}} is a weapon emplacement used by [[Jul 'Mdama's Covenant]].<ref name="ops">''[[Spartan Ops]]'', [[Expendable/Majestic Rescue|S108 Majestic Rescue]]</ref> | |||

==Design== | |||
The artillery gun fires three rounds per volley, which detonate a couple of seconds after impact. Each artillery emplacement relies on two conduits to keep the gun from overloading. If the conduits are destroyed, the artillery would explode upon its next firing. The power sources used for the guns on [[Requiem]] were seemingly of [[Forerunner]] design and construction, consisting of multiple concentric, spinning spheres with intricate patterning which disintegrated in a manner similar to most [[Promethean]] technology upon taking critical damage.{{Ref/Reuse|ops}} | |||
