Effective Range:

• Optimum: 100 metres to 175 metres.

• Large Magazine: Seven Shots.
• Electromagnet Shell Launcher: At the base of the of the mortar that launched the shells.
• Targeting Computer: Compensates for Wind.

Strengths:

• Long Range Explosions: It's a mortar. It fires from long ranges to deliver moderate damage to tanks, a devastating damage to ground units.
• Big Kaboom: Large blast radius.
• Hella Shots: Larger capacity than the average (5).

Weaknesses:

• Pack Up: If armour units or infantry teams were to move out of range of the mortar, it is rendered useless due to needing to pick it up and relocate for ample targeting. Also, it's really heavy to carry alone. Requires transportation to battlefield via dropship.
• Flat Surface: Deploying on rocky, mountainous terrains makes it nigh impossible for the flat stand to sit safely without misfiring, and or misjudging distances.

Description: Seeing a lack in production of Tantorus's local industries, A'sharad, Heir to Tantorian Industries, decided on filling a gap in the Tantorian catalogue. And the idea of a mortar came to life. Long range with 'relatively' accurate results, it's purpose was to fire long range explosive ordnance that held an impact radius akin to a thermal detonator, one that inflicted much more damage to personnel at a much safer range.

A magazine holds seven shells which are capable of being programmed automatically via the targeting computer that also compensates for the wind. The targeting computer even had the ability to lock onto laser designated targets that were within three hundred metres of the mortar. Along with the automatic firing system, a soldier was capable of physically loading the launcher, which thus caused the mortar to activate instantly and fire the shell.

Any targets that were under the range of one hundred metres were incapable of being shot at, due to the firing arc of the mortar.
