The Auxilia Basilisk Battery provides the Solar Auxilia with their long-range artillery, self-propelled guns that hurl shells across the horizon to shatter enemy formations, fortifications, and reserves long before the front lines close. In the grinding, attritional manner of Auxilia warfare, such firepower is decisive, softening a foe until the disciplined soldiery can advance across ground already broken and burning.
Crewed by dedicated gunners drilled to lay their fire with exacting precision, a Basilisk battery works in close concert with the cohort's forward observers, walking its barrages onto targets marked from the line. It embodies the Solar Auxilia's methodical way of war, in which victory is achieved not through reckless heroics but through the patient, overwhelming application of force. When the guns of the Auxilia speak, the enemy's plans are unmade before they can begin.
