Rocket/Missile artillery of the Grand Army. Although the Dark Wrath were first to use rocket artillery in the Great War, the Grand Army soon adapted it as well, using it to supplement their traditional "tube artillery." Although the very first "Nebelwerfer" (smoke-thrower) designs were Dark Wrath batteries mounted on trucks, the modern Nebelwerfer is a heavy treaded design, an armored, self-propelled multiple rocket launcher. Capable of firing guided and unguided missiles from far behind the front, it has a variety of loadouts, including saturation rocket fire and guided surface-to-surface tactical missiles.
Budgetary pressures have occasionally suggested that the GA should choose between the Nebelwerfer and its various tube artillery pieces, but Celiose (a former artilleryman) typically puts his foot down when it comes to saving the big guns.
Lead contractor at the system for the Grand Army is Lictor Arms, a subsidiary of Saeder-Krupp.
Similar designs include the Esperian Locke Light Combat Vehicle and Scandian Katyusha. The Scandian design is notable for using a lighter, more mobile wheeled chassis, though it does not have as much "throw weight" as the GA design.
