===2023: The Mark 9 is Forged===
A new cannon was forged to celebrate the [[Skule]] sesquicentennial (150th anniversary). The Mark 9 was revealed as part of a multi-cannon salute on Founding Day (March 29, 2023), where 8 Skule Cannons were fired along King's College Road (a replica of the Mark 1, while present, was not fired)—the largest multi-Skule Cannon firing to date. This multi-cannon salute included appearances by several generations of [[Chief Attiliator | ex-Chief Attiliators]], spanning back decades, and involved months of planning and safety testing to ensure the older cannons could be fired safely at the event.

In typical engineering fashion, the Mark 9 was finished well in advance of the deadline, with sanding and polishing the metal components of the carriage having been completed a full 15 minutes after the machinists were supposed to deliver the new cannon to Chief for the multi-cannon salute. This incredible punctuality was furthered by a 10-15 minute wait for the Myhal elevators upon arriving.
