Girl Genius


A war device used by the Wulfenbach Empire for surrounding troops or protecting battlements, with the "business" side of the wall lined with spikes to prevent anyone from scaling it and for additional defense. There is a set of staircases leading up above the wall on the defender's side, where a line of troops can be stationed to further retaliate against enemy forces.

The engines are, as indicated by the name, dropped into position via airship. They are deployed in this fashion by Gil during the Siege of Mechanicsburg to defend the city from other attacking factions, though eventually they get knocked over by battle clanks activated by the revitalized Castle Heterodyne.

It is noted in Agatha H. and the Siege of Mechanicsburg that the walls have devices embedded in them that "harvest" the kinetic energy created by their being dropped, making them self-powering.
