The Maku'ran is a module based turret system designed for the My'leke Universal Module unit that the My'leke wear on their backs, the turreted system was created in ER 700 and put into usage in ER 720.
The Maku'ran was created to help give the My'leke the ability to fight against infantry units or against people whom were light armored or unarmored. The unit can't operate without the base MUM unit, due to it lacking a power generator.
The Maku'ran was designed by Se'leris Tau'rus. This module was created with the intention of giving the My'leke another means of combating infantry, originally the only weapons they could use were modified laser rifles that were unwieldy and difficult to use in a tight combat situation.
The idea behind this turret came about due to the increasing terrorist activity on Netoshen and the problems of anti-My'leke sentiments growing within the Laibe communities, some of which were located close to My'leke clan areas.
Originally, the Maku'ran was a turret designed for use on APC's but it was re-engineered and rebuilt and made into a module that could be worn.
It took twenty years though for Tau'rus to fully design the turret to actually function properly with the MUM, stabalizers were built into the turret to allow it to lock onto targets even when the My'leke using it is on the move - however tests still showed that even with the stabalizers, the turret still has high accuracy loss when the turret is on the move.

Uses the same module exterior appearance as the Taurus Anti Tank Cannon, with the exception that the top area of the module doesn't have the reactors heat sink, but instead, has the base area for the turret. The turret itself is twin-barreled and located on a gimble system.
A list of systems within this module.
Located on the bottom of the module and largely kept out of sight as eight connectors that connect into the top part of the MUWM, this allows the My'leke to control this module using the control systems of the MUWM.
Because the module lacks its own generator, it is given power from the MUWM's power generator. The PTS faciliates this process by serving as a conduit for power.
Located on the rear of the module is its capacitor, it's large enough to store up an hour's worth of energy but it will take upwards of twenty minutes to charge up fully.
The Maku'ran uses a Kurosha Anti-Infantry Turret as its base weapon.
