Windscorpion monitor used to destroy asteroid

The sheer power of the ZMax ultra cannon on the Windscorpion 18A monitor is intended to destroy enemy ship formations or fortifications. It has been used in action for the first time to destroy an asteroid which was in danger of drifting into the heavily used Proxima-Terra spacelane, on the busiest in the known galaxy.

In the past fleets of ships have been needed to either destroy or nudge asteroids like this (which measured about the same size as Hexian City) but 018-101 Windscorpion was able to obliterate it with one shot!
