"Basilisk" is the name of the SPG. The gun itself is known as Earthshaker cannon.

like raptor said, it is exactly the same as the basilisk. only difference being that this one is stationary and the other is on a Chimera chassis.

also Earth Shaker crew is used on the basilisk or the cannon but the major differance is that the earthshaker can actually shoot farther and has a slightly larger barely

Description

Each Earthshaker Platform mounts the same Earthshaker Cannon on a standard cruciform platform as found on the Basilisk. They are one of the most common weapons used in artillery companies, especially during prolonged static campaigns where they can stay in the same position for weeks battering the enemy. Normally dug-in far to the rear, on occasion an Earthshaker will be brought forward for direct fire in support of friendly forces. Each one is crewed by a team of five Guardsmen in order to keep up a good rate of fire; in a pinch a minimum crew of four can suffice, although this is less than ideal. Only the Trojan support vehicle is powerful enough to tow this platform into position.
