Overview:
A curious by-product of the Free-Star republic fiasco. When one of the Hesperus weapon
testing sites learned of Brandal Gareth's proclamation they holed up in their remote complex
and quickly mobilised whatever weapon platform mounts to fire upon any potential rebels. In
the end only a few light vehicles showed up by an accident and were quicky dealt with.
Normally this would be it for the improvised weapons platforms, but somebody in the design
depeartment first went to propose a standardised weapon testing platform using the omni pods
to hasten various configuration simulations and then added a modest amount of industrial
armor to keep the vehicle safe from potential blasts and malfunctions. There was only a
short step from there toward the militarised weapon platform that the Anygun represents.
Capabilities:
Anygun is literally just a massive weapon craddle with overcompensated recoil dampeners
sheated upon a wheeled chassis. to the left of the weapon mounting there is the fusion
engine housing alonfg with heat dissipation unit allong with whatever ammunition is needed
for the currently mounted weapon. right side of the hull houses the crew and all sensors and
targeting equipment all shielded from any potential explosion by an in-built CASE system.
Total of 25 tons of equipment can be installed allowing for any known weapon system short of
the massive Long Tom artillery piece. All mounted weapons are usually fixed facing forward,
so using the Anygun usually requires close coordination with the other ground units, but
Anygun will, on the other hand allow you to blast the enemy with any thinkable weapon system
that you can find.
Deployment:
Anyguns are slowly spreading aroung Steiner space. Usually filling gaps whenever some
weapons needs to be deployed and no specialised weapon system better suited for the task is
available. Curiously the Anygun seems to be able to mitigate any weapon and vehicle
production discrepancies making it particularly liked by purchasing officers and weapon
manufacturers alike. Federated Suns ordered a samll batch of the platforms for testing
scheduled for delivery in 3059 while some very similar copies were supposedly spotted in
Liao and Taurian hands.
