Editing Serikkan Arbalists (section)

==Arms and Armour==
The planet Serik-Lambda is famed for it's artillery men and its many historical usage of The Big Guns.

Many of the tithed men and women have found their way into the navy where they typically end up in some line of work tending the ship's cannons.

They are famed for their surface artillery partly because they are one of the few remaining worlds that can still construct and make use of the temperamental but devastatingly effective Plasma Ballistae.

Plasma Ballistae are stable forms of plasmatech, now considered archaic and superseded by more destructive and compact weapons, they remain popular with the crews who still have them in service.

The plasma is energised in the central body of the weapon, which is largely cylindrical. This is designed to contain the energised plasma indefinitely, held within the safety of overlapping power fields.

A magno-impeller field is generated by a ring that circles the barrel. This ring is attached to a spring device, like a massive primitive bow. The ring can be drawn back down the barrel by means of a motorised winch or in some models, a hand crank.

When released, the bow mechanically returns the ring to the end of the barrel and the impeller field forces the energised plasma out of the weapon and towards the enemy.

The muzzle velocity is determined by the mechanical torque exerted by the bow.

The most famous usage of the Plasma Ballistae was by Sergeant Irgyn "The Sycean" Hegez When he lead a platoon of the late lieutenant Seskt, and setting up an ambush, by having four ogryns carry the ballistae into an otherwise unreachable position. He managed to destroy 14 ork mobs and 2 trukks before he had to retreat in an orderly manner, even managing to save the ballistae.
