                                      developed for use against enemy defensive 
                                      emplacements, and made to operate independent 
                                      from a nano-network or even human control, 
                                      one siege turret can completely halt alien 
                                      development (if placed strategically, and 
                                      defended). Siege turrets generate their 
                                      own gravitational field effect, which can 
                                      register all objects with more than a few 
                                      pounds of mass within its radius. The shape-signatures 
                                      of the objects are matched against its database, 
                                      and any hostile patterns are eliminated. 
                                      Alien structures have been successfully 
                                      added to this database. The turret manipulates 
                                      its gravitational field to induce a catastrophic 
                                      effect &#150; much like a sonic boom &#150; 
                                      that ignores intervening barriers and walls. 
                                      The splash damage from this effect makes 
                                      the siege especially effective against clusters 
                                      of alien chambers. Since aliens themselves 
                                      don't hold the same shape very long (i.e. 
                                      they tend to move &#133; a <i>lot</i>) they, 
                                      and other mobile targets, don't register. 
                                      But if an alien is standing next to a chamber 
                                      or hive when a siege turret starts its bombardment, 
                                      the incidental damage alone is often enough 
                                      to kill them.</p>
