This artillery gun fires three rounds per volley. The plasma rounds wait a couple seconds after impact before detonating. Each piece of artillery relies on two conduits to keep the gun from overloading. Once the conduits were destroyed, upon the artillery's next firing it would explode. The power sources used for the guns on [[Requiem]] were seemingly of [[Forerunner]] design and construction, consisting of multiple concentric, spinning spheres with intricate patterning which disintegrated in a manner similar to most [[Promethean]] technology upon taking critical damage.<ref name="ops"/> | |||

During the [[Requiem | During the [[Second Battle of Requiem]] in [[2558]], the Covenant used three of these artillery guns to fire on [[Fireteam Majestic]]. Fireteams [[Fireteam Crimson|Crimson]] and [[Fireteam Kodiak|Kodiak]] were sent in to destroy the artillery. Upon discovering they were shielded, Crimson destroyed the two conduits near each of them. Once the conduits were destroyed, the weapon overloaded and detonated.<ref name="ops"/> | ||
