The Chancellor has just recently unvailed to the world what exactly that massive works project that had been going on in the Bay of Neptune is. Many have speculated that it is to control sea traffic, or even a dam of some kind, but these speculations were shattered upon the news coming out that it is actually a massive sea wall. The sea wall stretches across the entire Bay of Neptune, roughly 500 miles long, and maintains one mile wide gates for each city, which will be operated by the city with which it provides service. Cities with sea gates are Divinity, Redemption, Paradise City, and New Atlanta. The wall, which is said to be layered over in several feet worth of reinforced concrete, is expected to house a vast array of weaponry ranging from massive railguns to fifty caliber machine guns. Already, several guns have been installed, and over two hundred 152mm model 1938 howitzers are now in place. These are only a small taste of what is to be brought into the massive fortification, and their range of only just over twelve kilometers is expected to be dwarved by the railguns that are planned to be placed along the wall. Also thought to be included in the wall will be a small hanger and a heliport, as well as a dry dock for ships in need of emergency repairs.
This, however, did not come without a cost. The wall will keep Confederate military spending on the low for years to come with the estimated cost of the wall, as well as all of the weapons expected to be on it, have run up as high as three trillion credits. "Its all worth it if it is in the defense of the Confederacy" General Marcus Blueshield was quoted as saying in a press conference about the wall earlier this morning.

Five hundred S-500 SAM/ABM systems
Two thousand Sea Zenith CIWS

One hundred 400mm railguns
Two hundred 152mm model 1938 howitzers
Five hundred Khan class missiles w/ launchers
