	''Biggest problem with the Mjolnir is their inability to alter the heading of their beam cannon after their first shot, presuming they're using the standard [[MjolnirBeam]].

			''Techroom describes this thing as direct successor of older sentry guns and judging by description, it's supposed to be well-armed for this task. Additionally table data suggests that it's even supposed to be shielded. The problem is: Mjolnir simply isn't such a thing. It's very specialized, purely anti-capital, static and defenseless object that's particularly susceptible for fighter and bomber attacks. Distinct lack of any mentions of it's insane anti-capital firepower makes me thinking, that it's tech description simply belongs to a different kind of sentry gun, that was either cut from the game or never made.'' }}

	The GTSG Mjolnir is the most advanced sentry gun device known. Vastly tougher and deadlier than the earlier Watchdog, Cerberus, and Alastor models, the Mjolnir is a danger to any hostile fighter or bomber that comes within range. Its two beam weapons and three missile banks enable it to take on multiple enemies simultaneously. Mjolnirs are also referred to as RBCs (remote beam cannons). They are used to help protect the most vital front-line Alliance installations.		The GTSG Mjolnir is the most advanced sentry gun device known.
