- "You heard it from three miles away, going off. It hit that Remnant Citadel, going straight through that ornate façade. When the shell actually went off, the whole west face of the Citadel blew off and every construct on that side got flattened. The opposite side collapsed in on itself, bringing the entire spire down. All off one shell. The entire squad just watched, tripping...."

The M314 Aurochs Heavy Artillery Platform is a mobile firebase, carrying the UNSC's largest artillery piece, the 440mm howitzer. The gun is carried on the right side of the Elephant, aligned to the right of the cab. This artillery piece is the single largest gun used by the UNSC, outside of starship mounted MAC cannons. It is used as a bunker buster, a heavy artillery piece, even as a weapon to be used against low flying warships. The cannon is mounted inside a sealed cargo bay that unfolds to allow the main gun to elevate. It can be elevated high enough for a long range strike, or lowered enough to be used as an assault gun. Internally, it only stores six more rounds, but it is crewed by a pair of Wolf Exoskeletons for the purpose of reloading the gun. It is crewed by a M597 Warthog Ammunition Carrier for carrying shells back and forth and a M12R Firehog Counter-Battery RADAR for counter artillery and threat detection. Its only defensive system is a single PALADIN Weapon Station. It has a small command and control area where the gun operator controls the main gun, directing the weapon for fire. It can deploy its roof canopy and the four stabilizer skids in under thirty seconds.
