The '''Geryon-Class Orbital Artillery Piece''', otherwise known as the '''Geryon Ordinatus''', is a model of macro-ordinatus macro-artillery employed by the [[Adeptus Mechanicus]].{{Fn|1a}}{{Fn|1b}}
The Geryon is an orbital platform that mounts a cannon capable of launching electromagnetic and magna-frag weaponry along with more conventional ordnance.{{Fn|1a}} The various types of shell fired by the cannon are designed to maintain control of the engagement zone in a void battle, disrupting enemy vessels with debris, chaff and electromagnetic interference.{{Fn|1b}}
At one time, the Geryon was employed by various [[Forge World]]s in the [[Halo Zone]]. However, use of this model declined as it started to be seen as overly specialized for conventional engagements.{{Fn|1a}}
==Notes==
*It is not clear in [[Soul Drinker (Novel)|Soul Drinker]] whether the Geryon is a true [[Ordinatus|Ordinatus engine]].
