During the modification of the Rampart it was thought that in order to give it a considerably increased degree of fire power without massive restructuring of the structure and power supply of the fortress would be to create orbital cannons - ones which could move with considerable speed and so make up for the limitations of both the fortress and its turrets. As such the Orbital Cannons were born - effectively self powered weapon platforms containing a slightly underpowered transphased plasmatic pulse cannon as well as a gravitic drive. The weapons are kept constantly circling the fortress and are controlled by its computer.
