Robot 2 • Orbital Defense Cannon

Orbital Defense Cannons are huge pieces of laser artillery that planets in the
Alliance use to defend against bombardment from orbiting ships. Their dual
laser cannons, guided by a targeting radar dish, can shoot down even the
largest Imperial Star Destroyers and Corellian Cruisers. Many planets that can’t
afford to outfit a full fleet of starships choose instead to protect themselves
from Imperial Starfleet attacks from space with Orbital Defense Cannons.
In order for the gears to work properly it is important that the Orbital
Defense Cannon is sitting on a flat surface.

Micro Scout Programs
The Orbital Defense Cannon works best with Micro Scout programs
#2 and #3. Program #2 will turn the Orbital Defense Cannon around
in circles and “fire” its dual laser cannons. With program #3, the
Orbital Defense Cannon will turn in circles and rotate its radar,
“firing” its dual laser cannons when you trigger the Micro Scout with
a light source (like a flashlight).
