During the war with the Lemunesian Republic, Collectivist marines struggled to break through the dense mangrove forests surrounding Republican-held islands. Designed, like the Typhoon, by members of the Nahitan Collectives, the Mangrove Assault Cannon is designed to aid infantry in forcing through enemy fortifications with the aid of its 155mm short-barreled howitzer. Its angled armor and small size enable it to survive through a storm of enemy fire. It's a Sturmpanzer! I'm on a panzer kick now, apparently. I must make up for the fact that there are no G*rmanics in JFS3.
