It's the NEXUS plasma artillery which is used in the campaign.

It's horrifically unbalanced and makes short work of your units.

In names.txt it is listed as this:
PlasmaHeavy ------------------------------------- "*Heavy Plasma Launcher*"
Internal name used by the game --------------- The name of it in-game if it was in your design menu

So I suppose its proper name should just be the Heavy Plasma Launcher.

Yeah,it's soooooooooooooo cool.
If you have it in your base,each enemy that comes near your base gets free meal of hot plasma!!! :twisted:
5-10 Plasma mortars+few fortesses on entrance(s) to your base+10-30 Stormbringers AA=Completely defended base

BTW,Plasma cannon originates from this weapon;
There were some people(including me) requesting for general use of that weapon.
(That started with question about Plasma mortar just like yours.)
Zarel,well,he is a kind of balance freak(No offense Zarel...),and he didn't let it happen.
(I'm not sure about this part...)Then,he got an idea about Plasma Cannon so he made it.
