Description

Ah, this one. The information on a rogue imperial prototype warmachina did not come cheaply or easily.
Ahem. “Codename: Gamma. This model was designed to be an automated improvement over the piloted armored weapon, allowing it to operate without loss of function in near darkness. The results were unsatisfactory and the project was supposedly scrapped.
During testing, Gamma was commanded to attack a compact craft capable of considerable maneuverability. Now, whenever it detects said craft, the weapon engages in indiscriminate hostility.” Sounds positively cheery, doesn't it.

— Hersande of Kugane

Prototype heavy magic weapon of runaway Imperial army, The development code "Gamma" was registered as Risky Mob. Originally, an armored weapon, which is a manned aircraft, it seems that it was a model improved to unattended specifications for the night war ... ....
The result is as you guessed.
Apparently, as an attack target during the trial startup, it seems that a compact and quick experiment machine was set up.
When it detects a corresponding aircraft, it seems to attack indiscriminately.
