Ra'aam-pattern burst cannon: Difference between revisions

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 name="ops"/>

During the [[Requiem Campaign]] in [[2558]], the Covenant used three of these artillery guns to fire on [[Fireteam Majestic]] from "[[Cyclone]]." Fireteams [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] and [[Fireteam Kodiak|Kodiak]] were [[Assault on Cyclone|sent in]] to destroy the artillery. Upon discovering they were shielded, Crimson destroyed the two conduits near each of them. Once the conduits were destroyed, the weapons overloaded and detonated.<ref name="ops"/>
