A vehicle deployed by the Autonomous Republic of Zeon. In order to be used by the infantrymen active on the front lines, it became self-propelled artillery in order to move a large-caliber heavy mortar. Since it was based on the body of an armored car, it’s a crawler type that utilizes caterpillars. When deployed, the top hatch unfolds and the stored gun barrel is set up and shelling can be carried out.
Carrying roughly 5 personnel, it is operated by a driver, a comms officer, a loader, a gunner who focus on a commander who confirms the target and conveys shelling direction. The shells are stored in racks on both walls and the loader retrieves them, loads them and fires them one by one.
