The Rebellion needed a trooper that carried a superheavy plasma gun to take out Accord tanks. But the Troopers could not carry the gun required for the task. So an ingenious Rebellion Tech implemented a system where the cannon hovered near the Trooper and just required the Soldier to tag the hostile target for the hovering plasma cannon to destroy. The Sphere Hunter was born and had such an effect that the Accord gave up on using manned heavy vehicles. |
