Usage notes, once activated it will move about the map randomly before dissipating. It can traverse roughly half the map so do not use on your home tile unless you are willing to risk damaging your own base. When it comes to damaging units it will hurt units in it's proximity over time however due to it's random nature and it's slow speed it is not very effective against non stationary targets. It's best use is against an enemy bases, enemy siege or mech base. Over all this is a very weak and unpredictable super weapon. A doomsday rocket would be preferable in just about every scenario. | Usage notes, once activated it will move about the map randomly before dissipating.

Tornado generator
An ancient control unit for a network of weather-control satellites. This device has had certain failsafes bypassed; it is capable of causing a massive air current disturbance, which will generate a tornado at a chosen location. The weather network will detect this unauthorized intrusion and lock out the device after use, but the tornado will be left to spend its energy normally.
