The GVSG Ankh


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.

Developer Notes

None

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.

Veteran Comments

Please read the Veteran Comments policy before editing this section.


With only the thinnest of armor plating and armed with only two Terran Turret guns these are just as ineffective as the GTSG Watchdog, but if used in massive quantities, can pose a real threat.


Colliding with it a few times will destroy it.


if you take out the turrets without destroying it, the remainder of it is nearly a 1/8 of the original size.
