The '''light artillery''' is a [[Forerunner]] close-in weapon system that comprises the '''Z-8250 Anti-Ship Exterior Defense Network''' ('''Z-8250 ASEDN''') along with the [[Z-8250 heavy artillery|heavy artillery]]. The weapon fires bursts of ionized particles and has an unlimited energy capacity.{{Ref/Book|Id=evg|H4EVG|Page=104}} These weapons were mounted on the ''[[Mantle's Approach]]'', the [[Ur-Didact]]'s flagship. 

==Design details==
The weapon is composed of both physical matter and sustained energy, its visible components being a series of floating angular booms with patterns of light. In its active state, the booms are further apart and a large sphere of energy appears in the center.{{Ref/Level|H4|Midnight}}
