The 30.48cm Naval Rail Gun is a seavessel mounted Rail Gun used as the main armament of the Ondeugd-class Battleship, developed for the Knootian Defence Force. It is capable of firing massive projectiles at a muzzle velocity of 3000m/s, giving it the revolutionary range of about 300 miles for a devastating effect.

Alternatively it can also fire lighter high-explosive shells or 30.48 cm air-burst canisters designed to work as a countermeasure against Theatre Ballistic Missiles (TBM) and as anti-air.
