OUT OF CHARACTER INFORMATION
The OX-10 is a direct-fire artillery combat droid designed to be a force multiplier. The massive Hypersonic Cannon it brings into the battlefield is a weapon of legendary destruction. The OX-10 will fire when told to fire, and those allies or enemies in its path will feel the force of its power first hand. The OX-10 stands on four thick legs and vaguely resembles a bovine with four eyes clad in dull grey duraplast armor over a durasteel frame, behind its head on the back of the droid lays the fearsome Hypersonic Cannon. The droid will bow itself head when firing. The lumbering hulk of a machine is extremely slow when compared to more conventional artillery pieces. The walker design allows this droid to move over uneven terrain (mostly crushing objects beneath its feet) with relative ease. The OX-10 is not designed to operate in traditional artillery batteries which have projectiles that arc over the front lines of infantry. The OX-10 is more akin to a siege weapon meant to bring down walls and punch holes in enemy positions prior to allied movement.
Abuse could come in the form of stacking multiple OX-10 units in the same combat scene thus circumventing the weakness Low Rate Of Fire. My suggestion is that the OX-10 be only used in pairs or by itself in combat scenes involving PvP.

- Hypersonic Cannon: A sonic cannon that creates a condensed blast of pressure through applicable (normally breathable) atmospheres at speeds of approximately Mach 25. The explosive force from this cannon makes an unmistakable sound when fired, echoing for miles a low shuttering groan. The destruction from this cannon can be immense, shattering fortified walls, instantly killing organics from pressure alone, compromising droids through twisting durasteel. The Hypersonic Cannon has a considerable destructive range of 700 meters. Past 700 meters while the sonic projection will cause temporary deafness and knock down many near-human species it will not kill.
- Armored: Duraplast covers the frame and covetted cannon of this droid. A considerably tough material traditional small arm blasters will be ineffective. Slugthrowers and other primitive technology will be completely ineffective.
- Defenseless: The OX-10 is without shields or other weaponry aside from its cannon. Making it susceptible to attacks from land, sea, air, or space.
- Low Rate of Fire: While the OX-10 is not considered a precision weapon the energy it takes to operate the lethal Hypersonic Cannon is considerable. An OX-10 can only activate it's Hypersonic Cannon one (1) time per three (3) posts from the Character's perspective who fired the OX-10's Hypersonic Cannon.
- Slow: The OX-10 is an extremely slow droid reaching 3 miles per hour at full speed. This means that positioning the OX-10 is a logistical ordeal in itself.
- EMP: Ion Blasters and EMP projectors are the bane of this droid's existence. Much like the ancient droids of the Clone Wars this droid is not insulated against such attacks and it's duraplast armor will not protect it.
