Charlesonian Artillery Mark 2 (CA-Mk2)



 Origin 

The Charlesonian Artillery mark 2 is the charlesonia high command's solution to the issue of their primitive Charlesonian Artillery mark 1 canon which could only fire 30 blocks at max with low damage output and it required 3 people to effectively use. After the battle of Fort Dankus the Charles High Command contracted the Roman engineer Broba Fett to design a more effective canon. many tests were conducted before the final product was brought to the High Command. The canon was exactly what they needed and one was imedietly constructed above fort stxrm. The luke empire was horrified by this and quickly blocked up the line of fire. In retaliation the Charlesonians built another one all the way back at Fort dankus. The canon was planned to initiate the battle of fort styllion by destroying the Luke empire's base immediately opening them for an easy attack. However a Luke Empire Spy by the name of Endertoad saw the canon just before the battle and sabatoged it, for a while after the battle this was blamed on Coley the cat who was operating the canon at the time. The canon would end up not activating when fired and it almost cost the Charlesonians the battle. After the battle was over the Charlesonians were looking over the canon, they repaired it and fired it in celebration for the victory. It completely destroyed Styllion and left a ravine leading up to it.

When the Charlesonians marched to the Luke empire capitol and constructed a fort atop the hill. Three CA-Mk2s were built within the fort with one further away aiming at a suspected supply base. These wouldnt be used in battle because the Lopadians would surrender before the battle could be waged. After the base was vacated by everyone, The canons were all fired and the former luke empire was left in ruins.

The canon is a common weapon used by the Gaoc in any large battlefield engagement. It was used again at the battle of the CSS Ben to initiate the battle and destroy the Lopadian fort.

 Design 

The CA-Mk2 operates off of tnt propelled tnt. The canon has been recorded to fire at most 800 blocks but its theorized it can go further. The destruction caused is worse than any other weapon developed. The propelling tnt is fired from 3 columns of dispensers on both sides of the machine. The tnt that is being fired is dispensed through 12 dispensers on a Redstone repeating clock. The length that the canon will fire can be adjusted by removing tnt from any of the dispensers that fire propelling tnt. In most situations it is to be used to target a specific enemy fortification so recalibration is unnecessary, however if used to target moving objects it is best to have 2 people manning the Machine.
