-This article is a work in progress; It is currently not approved as canon and is being developed as a player-vs-player/boss fight type unit for faction/faction roleplay. It is essentially a nerfed version of the original with some of the kinks worked out.
+The OUREX is a weapon of THE OLD WAR. Those remaining are used almost exclusively by the Albion Defense Force. All others are essentially relics.

-Issued in BA-140 and finally retired at the end of the Old War, the OUREX was legally declared a "platform for peace" as part of the Albion occupation by the Greater Cluster, tied into the DTA treaty and non-aggression pacts. It is designed fundamentally to be used either as a defensive platform to relay satellite guided non-line-of-sight parabolic weapons fire or to strike targets in orbit as a sort of defensive turret against starships to break an enemy foothold.

 The OUREX can also be used as part of the first-stage of a planetary all-out offensive strike, dropped into a highly populated high-value area which the enemy is unlikely to strike due to collateral damage (using the high value asset as a shield) and then striking domestic assets to punch a hole through enemy defenses (eg: dismantling satellite communications networks, striking specialist targets world-wide on the planet) allowing invasion forces to pour through.

-Drive died, RIP.
+The original version of the OUREX, the unit was constructed at enormous cost to Aleph to fight a conflict located elsewhere in the cluster. Its 'abusive' use of Thunderhead and Albion's resources at the cost of the people were one of the factors involved with the birth of the rebellion -- almost starving the populations of Lennox and Banquo which at this point were military factories due to their proximity to Thunderhead's sheoul - so named at the time simply "Industrial One" and "Industrial Two" dispassionately and dehumanizingly.
+It is notable for its positron corrected space compression rail cannon and its use of nuclear weapons and potentially dangerous drone systems to defend itself -- the electromagnetic discharge of which is known to cause serious burns and disrupt telecommunications.

-Folding quad-legs in rear. Will have a "compact" or "tank" mode where the legs are all shuffled up and the treads locked down. Need to find a purpose for the back legs when not in use (backups/engnies?) \\
+With the first generation badly damaged, a refit was issued, replacing many parts of the original -- repurposed for the purposes of the Albion rebellion. In this form, the unit has a quadrapedal leg assembly, a compact tank form for reduced footfall and damage in occupied spaces, shock-absorbers to deal with the sonic shockwave of the round being launched through the use of sprayed water to dampen the sound (similar to rocket launches) and a networked intelligence system to better function with Albion's own internal defenses. The design is also 14% smaller.\\
