IC: With the High Command's launch of new weapons development, the fleet has begun a study on the employment of outsized naval guns. "Project Paixhans" (named after the inventor of naval guns firing explosive shells) is an experiment on railgun technology for long-range bombardment, no doubt influenced by the fleet's recent battle experience and after observing the UAC MACs in action against the USNF's Antarctic fortress. The giant gun, mounted on a modified Vulcain LSD fires a tungsten-tipped projectile up to 500 km., over triple the range of the fleet's 46 cm. rocket-assisted guided shell and Harpoon ASMs. Although still in the experimental stage, it nevertheless offers a lot of possibilities for development as a next-generation weapon for the fleet.
