Cupid

Overview

Cupid is the most recent addition to the M.O.D.E. moons, and the first one to serve a unique function. Rather than the standard battle station configuration, Alala's core has been hollowed out and replaced with the largest coilgun ever built. Extending in both directions from the moon's core, the main barrel reaches a staggering length of 60 kilometers. At full power, Cupid's Bow can accelerate a standard 1,000-kilo slug to just over 10% lightspeed, delivering a 100-megaton yield every 10 minutes. At this speed relativistic effects are measurable on the projectile, making it a full 10 microseconds younger than the gun after firing.
