Description
The history of the first plasma turret comes with a twist. For in fact it was no turret at all. What happened was that some Goliath's were crippled by a squad of Screamers. But a Goliath is not called a walking fortress by chance, the Screamers succeeded in taking out most of Goliath's, but effectively most Goliath's weapon systems were still functional, only their legs were damaged beyond the possibility of fast repair. At that point some clever techs decided to tow several of these handicaped mech husks to a bunker installation, and there hotwired the bunkers reactor directly into the mechs plasma cannons systems. Some plasma cannons were badly damaged in the process, but the remaining working ones were increased in yield, and the bunker reactor's large capacity essentially boosted their fire rate. This knowledge was forget what is know known as Plasma Turret technology. Acquiring this technology enables you to build the plasma based Overlord base defence.
