The 117th Praetorian Artillery Platoon under the command of Lt. Shelling is composed of 5 Basilisk self-propelled guns with Earthshaker cannons, one Medusa, one Manicore, and one Colossus siege gun. The unit is a platoon in name only, and is almost a full strength artillery company. The big guns and rockets can bombard targets kilometers away.
While normally artillery units operate independently, the 117th was assigned the accompanying artillery on a semi-permenant basis. With access to communications to call in fire missions, plentiful ammunition, and the availability of the Engineering platoon to entrench the guns and provide security, the relationship has been synergic. This is especially true with the Recon Platoon assigned to the company. The Sentinels, Cavalry, and scouts all have voxcasters and can call in fire missions with deadly accuracy.
Special Gaming rule: The artillery platoon barrages only roll one die for deviation when a member of the Recon Platoon has a line of sight to the target.
