FoP Borgia SPG
Artillery is one of the few areas where the Federation of Planets military has achieved near parity with the larger, better trained, and infinitely better funded Alliance Navy. The FoP can field immense numbers of Self-Propelled Guns (SPG), mobile rocket artillery, or fixed tube guns in support of any military effort, and have proven to be experts in delivering accurate, devastating indirect fire.
The Borgia is a Self Propelled Gun carriage sporting a 165mm breech loading howitzer system capable of being mounted to a variety of unmodified flatbed trucks, such as the Ogar SMTT. It is a self-contained artillery system consisting of an extremely simple breech loading howitzer mounted on a sophisticated hydraulic arm system capable of absorbing the massive recoil generated by firing, while keeping the gun on-target for repeated shots. The front of the carriage features armored ammunition storage, preventing cook-off of stored rounds by anything but a direct hit, as well as a fire control computer to assist the crew in aiming the weapon. The rear of the carriage features a heavyweight hydraulically actuated base plate to stabilize the entire system. With guided munitions, the Borgia can effectively match almost any Alliance artillery system, although with a slower fire rate than the fastest Mk48 guns.
While the Borgia system can be mounted to a variety of vehicles, it is most commonly carried by an up-armored Ogar SMTT, providing protection to the crew from debris during firing or from indirect fire.

I have once again built a significant backlog of models to render and share, some more sci-fi and some less so. More to come!
