Ar'Ka Cannon
The Ar'Ka Cannon was a weapon of Tau design that was deployed in the Kaurava system as part of the Tau Empire's attempt at conquering that region of space, during the Kaurava Conflict.[1]
This massive artillery emplacement was present on the heavily fortified Nan-Yanoi moon base and was part of Tau Commander Or'es'Ka's new strategy known as Great Strength, Great Strike. Earth Caste engineers had constructed this new weapon which was capable of striking any target within the star system. This energy blast was configured to work only against highly developed organic based life. This allowed structures and plant life to remain, allowing the Tau Empire to strike their enemies without much damage to the environment, thus retaining the targeted location's suitability for future Tau colonization.[1]
