    The Boomstick artillery vehicle is the Administrations long range support vehicle. The name Boomstick is a derogatory term given to the vehicle by its enemies when it was first unveiled. These jokes quickly died as the first rounds were fired from the first Boomstick batteries. The Administration always prioritized armored vehicles. After the first few armed vehicles including the warrior and ironside were deployed, the next vehicle to be developed was an artillery vehicle. Again as with so many other vehicles, the administration was the first to develop mobile artillery.

    The Boomstick is a rather simple vehicle. A 120mm cannon with limited movement, sits on top the hull. The top also houses a pillar like dome that houses the communications and targeting sweet. The back has a small platform the includes a targeting chair for the cannon, and a crane to help load shells into the cannon. Internally the Boomstick is very cramped. There is only the drivers compartment, and a small, cramped section for the crew to ride in. The majority of the internal storage space is given over to the ammo storage. Even with the massive ammo storage, the Boomstick carries few shells. Because of this the Boomstick is often paired with support or logistical vehicles to help speed up reloads and carry extra shells.

    The Boomstick is deployed as you would expect it to be deployed. Behind the lines and lobbing lead at the enemy from a safe distance. Boomstick crews are very competent, as there job is very complex. They are well liked by frontline troops as they deliver vital barrages that have saved more than one life. However the command staff's (notably the ones just trying to gain power), view them as cowards for staying so far from the frontlines. Most agree that this is bullshit, but those in charge don't like Boomstick crews, and so they tend to get substandard treatment compared to the rest of the military.
