CSF-S3c/LP01 Cyclops Ground Type

Technology and Combat Characteristics
The Cyclops Ground Types were the first of the Limited Production Units, built from the still experimental 300mm High-Powered Naval Cannons. It was designed to be used as a supportive Artillery Unit, providing cover for the Castel Ground Types. Since they were basically the CGTs with more guns than normal, they didn’t have much in the way of defense. Despite this, they proved to pack a considerable punch when warding off waves of enemy units, and were requested by many LCDM base commanders as their defender based design was unmatched when paired with Castel and Juggernaut Ground Types supporting them in the front lines.

Armaments
- KT-300 High Powered Naval Cannon: Also known as the Smoothbore Gun, the 300mm HPNC is a toned-down version of the 500mm MPNC that fires ballistic shells. Due to its smoothbore style barrel and sheer stopping power, it is only effective at medium range. However, its shells are AoE and don’t require a whole lot of accuracy, thus a user can fire it into the general vicinity of enemies at a distance and still have a good chance of hitting something. Originally used as a battleship-mounted cannon, it was eventually broken down into a single, shoulder mounted weapon for Garrisai. Contains a three-round internal magazine.

Special Equipment and Features
- Hi-Sensitivity Targeting System: This advanced version of the Assistive Targeting System has been equipped with not only a standard targeting interface, but also an additional long-range targeting interface. Unlike its standard counterpart, the long-range comes in the form of a slide-down visor that shifts over the eyes. This almost doubles the range at which the system can track targets.

Operational History
The Cyclops ground type was one instance of the collaborative projects made between the NDRC and a respective manufacturer; in this case, the firearms company Kestrel. After the fall of the NDRC, one of these units were stolen by the Mercury Legion and was subsequently overhauled into Miia Deltavi’s own Vendetta. Another one of these units was retrofitted with Castel Ground Type and Centurion Ground Type parts to become the Jericho.

Trivia
- This limited production unit was developed from the Ballista's general idea.
