Designed by the Draconis Combine to compete with the Federated Commonwealth's
new Salamander design, the Megapult dwelled within the experimental
battlefield of the Luthien Armor Work's testing ground for years until
Capellan arms producers exhibited an interest in the design.
Working with LAW, they optimized the missile racks for firing the newly
developed specialty munitions designed by The Confederation. The design was
produced in small numbers until the outbreak of The Jihad, many acting as
important elements of the Capellans' few advanced communications networks.
During The Jihad, the design's resiliency saw it salvaged by the Word of Blake
and retooled to function as part of a C3i network. Outnumbered field
commanders have also had many tweaked to allow the racks to fire in stages at
different targets, allowing lighter saturation of larger areas and a reduction
in redundant targeting systems. The minimization of those targeting systems made
the addition of advanced and flexible NARC pods to assist with missile acquisition
possible.
