Gaiaterra: Elysea's Conflict/Nuke Cannon

"Behold, the Bringer of Light."

The Nuke Cannon is the Empire's own long-range artillery, capable of firing tactical nuclear shells over long range which are extremely destructive against all ground targets. This is planned to be voiced by

History
"Political power grows from the barrel of a gun."

-...

To paint a picture of the Elswords love of overwhelming firepower, all one must do is look at the Type-45 Self-Propelled Siege Cannon, commonly known as Meteor.

It was a complete and utter drain on resources to produce, maintain, and transport. It required special munitions and placing at all times to function. One could have easily been replaced by over twenty smaller artillery systems, each one capable of spreading fire over a similar area range and being less expensive to use overall. It is perhaps the most horrendously terrible and wasteful machine in the world, comparable to the epic units. But, in the end, none of that mattered.

What mattered was that the self-proclaimed Nuke Cannon could wipe out an entire city.

The Nuke Cannon was an end-game display of utter desperate power, the trump card in the Elsword's hand before the nukes came. From the very ground up, it was not truly a vehicle at all - it was a massive, 800mm cannon that just required treads to move it around. There is no subtlety in how it's used, there is no pretense of any kind of science behind the most basic of artillery charting and gun maintenance - it does not use satellites from orbit, complex rocketry designs, wave-force energy, or even radioactive ray weapons.

It is a giant gun, and where it hits, the ground and everything on it disappears. By the start of the War Against the MLA, a total of 400 Meteor Cannons had been built and put into the field. They were the final symbol of Elsword armored might, and thousands would die to protect even one from being damaged or taken by the (insert). They were giants of warfare, and the earth trembled with every word they spoke. And once the Empire had discovered nuclear weaponry and made nuclear shells, it truly came to be synonymous with "doomsday".

But despite the Royal Guards, fearing the gun's indiscriminate power and radiation harming their troops, and the Experimental Division, seeing it as a weapon fitted for brutes, instead replaced their Nuke Cannon with the Mobile Barracks and Hammer Cannon respectively.
