Summary
The Omega Space Gun is a colossal electromagnetic mass driver used to safely launch spacecraft into Earth orbit. The space gun was developed as an alternative to rocket technology, with the intent of making space launches safer and less expensive.
The gun uses electromagnets to accelerate projectiles, loaded into metal "bullets," to extreme velocities. Once in space, the spacecraft is jettisoned from its bullet and uses its onboard thrusters to adjust its trajectory into the desired orbit. Like many other machines in PATHOS-II, the space gun is operated from a Pilot Seat, allowing a user to remotely control the crane used to load projectiles into the gun, and to begin the gun's firing sequence.
The gun is approximately 7,290 meters long, the length of its barrel running from the ocean floor in the Omega Sector to Omega, a communications station at the ocean surface. It can shoot a maximum payload of 10 tonnes at a top speed of 42000 km/h.
