The Polaris Railgun has been developed for a general anti-armour role on the battlefield, and is an evolution of the Strider-mounted Polaris Cannon. Despite the absence of explosive propellant the immense pressure, stress, and heat generated by this new system required a new kind of weapons platform.

The Damantor hovers forward on a series of grav-generators. Controlled by an internal computer, additional front and rear-angled generators trigger automatically to compensate for the recoil of each firing solution, accounting for force, range, and even local gravity.  Like a well-trained sniper, the platform perfectly returns to the same point of aim after every round fired, awaiting the operator’s next command.
