Bashar´s Command

Bashar's Command is a unique machine gun of Tier 6 in Dune Awakening, belonging to the Weapons - Heavy Weapons category. This unique machine gun is considered so effective at cowing the populace during wars that it is often placed on display in local population centers as a threat. However, the Sardaukar prefer not to carry such bulky weapons into conflict, and will only do so at a Bashar's Command - at the commander's order.
