Description: The JGC Artillery Unit is meant to be at the very back of a large assault, or prehaps sat up on a cliff or hill, where it can have excellent aim. It boasts a ridiculously powerful slug-based canon system, which can fire powerful explosive missiles fairly long distances. A computerized targeting system inside the cockpit of the unit makes aiming etxremely easy, and makes aim extremely accurate. Obviously, though, the canon does not move fast enough to hit things such as starfighters, cloudcars, and most vehicles. It's purpose it to destroy large groups of enemy soldiers, slow moving vehicles, and buildings. Although, the main canon takes a moderate time to reload, around three minutes, making it a great support unit, but horrible for some instances. The JGC also has three smaller automatic slugthrowers on it's front, but these cannot swivel, and are useless for hitting an enemies that are't directly in front of the device. The Unit moves with a set of three legs, which propell the unit forwards at a rather slow pace, and are useless for swamp and mountainous terrains, as the machine is prone to toppling over. However, the main gun can rotate, making moving minimally needed. It has borderline pitiful armoring where there even is armor, only capable of taking blaster and slugthrower fire from small weapons, such as pistols. Much of the legs are not armored, and are suspectible to just about everything short of sharp sticks. Since the machine is to large, heavy, and slow to be easiyl manuvered, a soldier could easily take out one of these units by moving around it's front-facing guns, and taking out the legs. Or by tossing a detonator in the large exghaust pipe in the back... Basically, this machine is made for massive firepower, but at a distance; as a skilled soldier could probably take it out with a metal pipe.
This is an exaggeration.
