OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The Gungnir orbital defense platform is designed as a static emplacement for confederate worlds, able to acquire targets at extreme range and unleash devastating power against large targets, these platforms are intended to be placed at some of the key locations throughout the confederacy. At the same time the platforms hold a contingent of battle droids to repel would be boarders and a robust fighter defense force. The railgun runs the entire length of the platform to accelerate the project to the highest velocity possible through a serious of magnetic coils. Around the lower third of the platform is are a pair of small rings which hosts the bulk of the platforms other defenses it is able to focus most of its fire in the same direction or in multiple directions the defenses are their weakest when approaching from behind the platform, this is the hardest attack vector however as this is usually the side facing the planet.
