Lore
"So begins the third phase of Operation: Archon, which entails a frontal assault upon Castrum Meridianum, Gaius van Baelsar's seat of power. Forming the main thrust, the Immortal Flames will strike at the stronghold with all their strength, though this is but a feint. While the garrison's eyes are drawn outwards, you and your comrades must steal past its defenses and attempt to deactivate the magitek field which protects the Praetorium, the fortress within a fortress wherein the Ultima Weapon is believed to be housed." — Game Description

Apparently the cannons are controlled by a skill bar change. Click on the ammo pile to cause the claw to load the cannon nearby, then click on the cannon, use the Skill bar that changed to aim the cannon at Livia and then fire it. [Could someone add some pics of the console and PC skill bar popups?]
