The Astraeus is a Tier-3 experimental long-range artillery walker designed for saturating massive areas with heavy plasma clusters. Its primary weapon is a long-range cannon that fires cluster shells capable of obliterating stationary defenses or large enemy formations.

Though slow and vulnerable to fast skirmishers, the unit's extreme range allows it to strike deep into enemy territory with impunity when properly screened. It’s a siege unit first and foremost, thriving when paired with scouts and frontliners that can spot for it or absorb return fire.
