The Ballista bears resemblance to the [[Onager]] mass drivers employed as anti-ship defense. They are mounted on [[Isabel]]'s modified [[G81 Condor]] gunships, affixed to the bottom of the craft. They can be upgraded to fire up to three rounds in rapid succession, though the capacitors and equipment to do so do require the removal of the craft's [[slipspace drive]].{{Ref/Reuse|PL}} | The Ballista bears resemblance to the [[Onager]] mass drivers employed as anti-ship defense.
