The Cross

The famous Cross is the distinctive weapon of the Moqaddas faction of ACC and one of the most powerful weapons in Pilot circulation, with a long and storied history since its introduction. Initially, the Cross was little more than a cross-shaped care package deployed during Operation Relay. However, the Pilots present became so enamored with the idea of a weaponized cross that development commenced to design a weapon in that shape. This resulted in what became known as the MkII Cross, a prototype railgun that saw limited release to more senior or privileged Pilots. Although it quickly gained a reputation for exceptional power, the MkII was an imperfect design with a very high production cost. It wasn't until Moqaddas was able to incorporate testing data from Opalite Tech's Experimental #004 that the perfected MkIII Cross could be completed. Although less outright powerful than its MkII iteration, the MkIII was considered the superior model due to its multishot functionality, allowing for followup attacks without waiting for the railgun's capacitors to recharge and barrel to cool.
Despite being a powerful weapon in its own right and based on well-understood physics and technology, the Cross is wholly reliant on connection to a Suit to operate. Specimens are produced solely by Moqaddas, limited in number and are generally very well kept track of.
