- Artillery turret.
- Siege Turrets are long-range artillery systems built to counter enemy
- bombardment platforms that would otherwise be out of range of standard Turrets.
- These structures occupy a turret slot.
- The UNSC learned the dangers of relying on fixed installations against enemies
- with orbital fire support early in the war against the Covenant. The modular
- firebase system was developed in response to pinpoint Covenant targeting of large
- military command and control installations with orbital strikes. and the
- inability of standard counter battery systems to detect, deflect, or defeat
- plasma-based artillery bombardment. The siege turrets can do little against threats
- in the orbital high ground, but they will deter enemy artillery systems by
- matching or exceeding their range, making ad-hoc assaults on UNSC firebases a costly proposition.
