Zeus Cannon
Olympic-Class Assault Space Station
Started construction in 2055, completed framework
in 2061. Ongoing technical test of the Zeus Cannon were still being
conducted in 2065.
The cells have been cultured inside the OVO tank
up to a launchable critical level.
Equipped with two heliotron devices; 6 million ampere
class helical type nuclear fusion furnace as a power source. The
heliotrons generate a 120 giga joule magnetic field inside the Zeus
Cannon's barrel (acceleration chamber).
A 100km radius from the zeus is a restricted area
where unshielded shuttles and soldiers cannot enter; due to the
risk of being exposed to radiation of nuclear/spiritual energy from
the reactive nuclear thruster and giant OVO tank.
The habitat inside the space station is located
within a magnetic field gauge. It has no contact points with the
station frame, thus is protected from the nuclear/spiritual energy
emission shock.
The original concept was to have included consecutive
firing capability up to 200 times. However, in the pre-critical
launce test conducted in 2063, a series of malfunctions occurred
(such as the expansion material by heat inside the acceleration
chamber, warping of the orbital path from the launch shock wave,
numerous crack son the cooling system pipeline, and coolant leaks).
The expansion of material caused by the differences
of temperature inside the barrel, contraction rate, and launch shock
wave were noted as substantial dangers capable of destroying the
barrel itself with only a few launches.
