I tried [the wiki](http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Vehicles), but couldn't
find any information on this cool-looking walking (hydron?) canon. What is the
name of this and what does it do?

What's the name of this vehicle in Code Geass?


it's the [Raikō](http://codegeass.wikia.com/wiki/Raik%C5%8D) which, as the
Wiki says, literately translates to
[Lightning](https://translate.google.com/#ja/en/%E9%9B%B7%E5%85%89).

It's a Japanese Seige weapon which was originally developed by the Japanese
Liberation Front, first seen in the JLF's Hotel Hijacking which saw Euphie
held hostage and the rise of the Black Knights. it was later used by the Black
Knights duing the Assault on Tokyo Settlement in the Black Rebellion.

As it's translated name suggests, it's a lighting cannon, more precisely it's
an Electromagnetic Cannon using the 4 Knightmares to move it around and to
stabilize when it's being fired, in the anime we only see 2 crew members so
there isn't one in each Knightmare. only Suzaku and the Lancelot is shown to
be able to destroy it.
