The Zeus Cannon
Olympic-Class Assault Space Station
 

Started construction in 2055, completed framework in 2061.  Ongoing technical tests 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 unsheilded 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 of the giant space station is located within a magnetic field gauge.  It has no contact points with the station frame, thus it is protected from the nuclear/spiritual energy emission shock.

The original design concept was to have included consecutive firing capability up to 200 times.  However, in the pre-critical launch test conducted in 2063, a series of malfunctions occurred (such as the expansion of material by heat inside the acceleration chamber, warping the orbital path from the launch shock wave, numerous cracks on the cooling system pipeline, and coolant leaks).

The expansion of material caused by the difference of temperature inside the barrel, contraction rate, and launch shock wave were noted as substantial dangers and capable of destroying the barrel itself with only a few launches.
 

Notes: I harbor no ill will against this space station since there was a space station in Final Fantasy I, and I got a feeling.  Besides, my black mage was named 'Zeus'
