ARTILLERY CANNONS
R&D Start Date: 3000 (Lyran Commonwealth), 3030 (Clan Wolf)
Prototype Design and Production: 3012 (Lyran Commonwealth), 3032 (Clan Wolf)
An alternative approach to artillery weapons, artillery cannons are smaller, snub-nosed versions of the common tube artillery pieces. While useful for area-effect attacks, artillery cannons suffer from a sharp reduction in range compared to their standard cousins.
Though well past the prototype stage, artillery cannons have yet to begin consistent, full-scale production.
