The ''Mavor'' is the only strategic artillery piece available, as it is capable of firing at any ground target on the map due to its effectively unlimited [[Range]]. This, of course, excludes any target within its large minimum range. Additionally, the unit's shells have an extremely high air time, making this unit ineffective against moving targets. However, the ''Mavor'' is extremely useful for attacking enemy positions and is capable of shattering enemy shields and annihilating large bases with ease. If aimed at the ground with perfect timing, its shell can hit a large air target such as a Ripper or Czar, killing it instantly. |

The UEF Experimental Artillery, nicknamed the Mavor, is a UEF unit. This is an experimental unit as well as an indirect fire unit.
The Mavor a gigantic experimental artillery piece that uses Anti Matter Artillery to bombard any target anywhere on the map with a high degree of accuracy. It is stationary and has comparably low HP for an experimental unit. It has very high Damage and ROF for an artillery unit.
The Mavor is the only strategic artillery piece available, as it is capable of firing at any ground target on the map due to its effectively unlimited Range. This, of course, excludes any target within its large minimum range. Additionally, the unit's shells have an extremely high air time, making this unit ineffective against moving targets. However, the Mavor is extremely useful for attacking enemy positions and is capable of shattering enemy shields and annihilating large bases with ease. If aimed at the ground with perfect timing, its shell can hit a large air target such as a Ripper or Czar, killing it instantly.
The Mavor has the longest build time of any other unit in the original game (a single T3 Engineer would require over six hours to build it), as well as the highest resource cost in the game (over 300,000 mass, however it has since been supplanted as the Aeon's "Paragon" has an even longer build time and is even costlier) meaning the player must have a very advanced economy running to try build the Mavor without having the entire base paralyzed by lack of resources. However, if and when finished, the Mavor is essentially a game-ending unit, making it well worth the price.
Trivia
The Mavor is named for the Lead Engineer of the game, Jon Mavor.
