The Cecilians had a powerful warship—it was equipped with the longest-ranged and most destructive Prismatic Device humanity had created to date. Once charged, it could unleash deadly beams upon Land Targets from the distant sea surface. It was said to also carry equally formidable solid-shot weapons, capable of launching similarly deadly over-the-horizon strikes from even farther away.
