Turret Architectural Yield

The Turret Architectural Yield (T.A.Y.) is an engineering commission set up by the State of Burgamere to design turreted cannons for defensive use. It formerly operated out of the town of Redspire during the Travelers Era, now operating out of Redwreck.

History
T.A.Y. was originally created after the fall of Duragrad. In the early days they competed with Omni Read Turrets (O.R.T.) for contracts with the State of Burgamere. Due to the sheer number of designs built by T.A.Y, they won the contract. Only two O.R.T. turrets were ever built, one in Vladingrad and one in Korovoya Gorka.

Vladingrad was covered in so many cannons that it eventually became known primarily for them.

Designs
T.A.Y. has produced over seventeen turret designs, their most prominent one being Dome, which spread even beyond the borders of its homeland.

Clients can ask for design details for cannons with specific needs. Custom designations are titled according to the following: (purchaser number)(number of cannons purchased)(month/year)


 * Tiny (Remote control prototypes
 * Small (Various prototypes)
 * Cube (MK. I) (Unbuilt)
 * Dome (MK. II)
 * Pan (MK. III)
 * Zoid (MK. IV)
 * Triple (MK. V) (Only one ever built.)
 * DUTY Dome (large 1) (Built in both Fort Frunze and Vladingrad. Only built from Duragarm and Pitch Linumium.)
 * Double Dome (large 2) (Only one ever built. Pack Steel and Duragarm.)
 * Anti-Air Large (A modular Anti-Air gun that can be easily moved. Largest profile of any T.A.Y design.)
 * Short Barrel (custom designated 42139)
 * Main (custom designated 42255)
 * Dingus House (custom designated 42399)

Unofficial Designs

 * Fort Frunze Cut-in Large (A large artillery cannon that was cut into a wall at the front of Fort Funze. Could not point up or down, so the charge had to be manually guessed for distances every shot.)
 * Fort Frunze Cut-in Small (A small artillery cannon that was held in place at the back of Fort Frunze, pointing towards Korovoya Gorka.)
 * Jamestown Tower Convert (Unfinished) (A design to replace the middle section of the several stone towers built in Jamestown for increased defense. Abandoned after Iristor’s Comet was revealed.)
 * Anti-Air small (Unbuilt) (A smaller version of the Anti-Air gun intended to be used in Istmark and Jamestown. Unbuilt after Iristor’s Comet was revealed.)
