The GVSG Ankh is a Vasudan sentry gun, designed prior to the Great War. Ankh sentry guns were commonly placed near supply depots, as seen in the mission Where Eagles Dare. Although underpowered by modern standards, it remains in service in a limited capacity.

Description:
FS1 Tech Room Description
The Ankh is the standard Vasudan sentry gun. Its most common usage is guarding supply depots. However, since the development of the Anubis, its usage has dropped off significantly.
FS2 Tech Room Description
The GVSG Ankh sentry gun platform is the Vasudan equivalent of the GTSG Watchdog. Both are Great War relics that perform poorly by modern standards. The Ankh serves to guard back-line storage depots and installations. With no armor or shielding, the Ankh is easily destroyed. Its two small turrets can deter unarmed raiders or badly damaged fighters, but it poses little threat to most combat craft.

Name origin
An ankh (spelled in the lower case, being a common name) is a character that represents "life" in Egyptian hieroglyphs. It was also a tangible entity, essentially a cross. Egyptian deities are often seen portrayed bearing an ankh in their hands, crossed over to the chest.

Colliding with it a few times will destroy it.
