Excalibur firing at a reflective satillite aimed at the Schayne Plains (BAF: 05/19/1995)

Background
On December 17th, 1989, Tauberg was selected as the location for the Excalibur's construction. The Chemical Laser was a design from the Belkan "Project Pendragon", created by Anton Kupchenko. Construction ended with the Chemical Laser's activation in July of 1994. The Excalibur was taken out of its primary role as a Ballistic Missile Defense Weapon and used against Allied Forces, during the beginning of the Allied invasion of South Belka. The Excalibur first fired upon Allied Forces near the South Belkan border, during the Ustian attack on the Glatisant. It was later fired again at forces in the Schayne Plains. This lead to the discovery of its position and a counterattack by the allied forces.

The Belkan War (Op. Judgement):
On May 23rd, the Excalibur was attacked directly by a combined Allied Force attack known as Operation: Judgement. The Excalibur directly fired at the incoming aircraft, utilizing ECM stations positioned near itself. Eventually, the ECM defenses wre destroyed and the Excalibur activated all power reserves and its Railway Tactical Laser Systems (RTLS). The Excalibur was attacked by Galm One until its laser was destroyed and the structure itself was snapped in half from the constant air attacks.
