Mark 1 Mobile Rocket Artillery

The Mark 1 Mobile Artillery, known informally as the Moaning Crow and Victorian Candle, was an rocket artillery piece. First manufactured in under the orders of General soon after the formation of the United Rebel Front allowed his group to more easily obtain military-grade munitions, the Mark 1 was effectively an elongated pickup with several rails on the bed to fire rockets from.
While the rockets were notoriously inaccurate, they were used to great effect by Graves in his campaign to eradicate opposing rebel groups and sow terror on the colony, their wide spread ensuring a wide range that would be caught up in flames from incendiary rockets. After the establishment of the Victorian Independent State as the planetary government in , the Mark 1 became the main artillery piece of most militia groups, with the Victorian Independent Military preferring to mainly use converted that had been captured from the planet's garrison, with Mark 1's acting in a support role, or in so-called 'flushing operations' to drive out pro-UNSC resistance groups by setting the forest area they were in aflame.
During the 2540's, the Mark 1 also came to be used by the Glabetovan People's Republic, who obtained both them and rockets from the Independent State in a trade deal made in . After the fall of both organizations, the Mark 1 continued to be used as a terror weapon by remnants aiming to overthrow the planetary government again.
