Keraunos

Keraunos (天の電) is the name given to the superweapon at the heart of Reverse Babel.

Background
Keraunos is a colossal optical superweapon that draws on orbal energy and the Septium veins. It is part of the Reverse Babel facility and was constructed alongside it as part of Project Babel. Supreme Leader Rufus Albarea describes the weapon as one that can extinguish all evil from the world with the highest power ever seen, a fitting weapon for the end of the world.

The weapon operates by drawing a huge amount of energy from the septium veins and channeling it into teh form of a high-powered electrical beam. This bolt can be redirected and fired over long distances (signicificant portions of the Zemurian continent, through the uses of a connected Combat Shell satellite at a relative high altitude position above Babel. The blast is enought to wipe out Juno Naval Fortress in one attempt, incluyding most of the underlying land mass. A smaller blast is launched at the Arseille II, but is able to be repulsed by the combined strength of five of Erebonia's greatest warriors, thier weapons enchanted by the Hexen Clan. Firing the weapon on the smaller scale drains the facility's ability to shield itself.

Keraunos is only able to be as accuarte over long distances thanks to the advanced technology and predictive calculative abilities of Elysium. It has a speculated charge time of half a day.

Keraunos is ultimately destroyed when the genuine Rufus Albarea redirects the world's hostility unto himself, redircting the target of Keraunos to its own location, where Rufus is at the terminal. The process of firing the weapon in this manner causes the weapon and facility to overheat, making it dangerous to remain.
