==Overview:==
     Thru out history the single most dominating structure type used has be
the defensive barrier. Be it a wall, a natural formation, or a line of 
fortifications. Thou time and again, such structures were thought antiquate
each time they have been pulled from moth balls. Todays structures hold man
the traditional forms, reinforced HQ's, gunnery bunkers, and barrier walls.
time has created new ones, like both the ground based and satilite based 
Anti-Orbital  batteries, and Defensive Space Plateforms.

     All of these structures force the enemy to commite forces to either 
destroy, disable, or curcumvent them. This gives Defenders time and sometim
oppertunities to defeat the enemy. This is why the Taurian Concordant reviv
the ancient Rocket Artillery Tank. 

==Capabilities:==
      Designed for one pourpose, and one pourpose only. To shower enemy 
positions with dozens of rockets from range, in an attempt to weeken, break
destroy defending units. The Wormwood excells in its duities when pitted 
against reinforced structures. Able to fire 120 rockets at once, a single 
Wormwood has been known to destroy a test commercial building in on 10 seco

      With a high speed, and fair armor, the Wormwoods primary duity is 
openning the door for Offensive Units. Usually moving in artillery packs, 
standard of 4 tanks per pack, the Wormwood rushes forward at top speed to a
optimum range of 360 meters or less. Then unleash there rockets at the same
point.

      This has proven in simulations to create a breach in any defensive wa
as the fire power of 480 rockets slam into there target. There main advanta
proves to be there draw back also, as once the rockets are fired, the Wormw
must resupplie with additional rockets.

==Deployment==
       We have little data, but we believe that a battalion of these vehicl
are in opperation. A couple of these have shown up in Liao space, along wit
the Chaos March and a couple of Merc Units.
