ASGARD

ASGARD is the name given to a kinetic orbital strike weapons platform built by the United States of America during the 1930s. 
==Design and use==
It was reverse-engineered from technology from the Chah during the First Chah-Human War, which led to the First Technological Revolution. This was a satellite that possessed the magazine of tungsten rods, complete with a directional thrust system.  
The satellite could be either directly controlled by astronauts inside the space station (which housed the satellite), or remotely controlled from the ground by soldiers. ASGARD uses small tungsten rods for maximum effect. It also uses at least 25 weapons platforms all controlled by a central hub satellite. This means it can target multiple continents at once. 
Along with its crew, ASGARD is controlled by a satellite array on the ground in Portland, Oregon. 
==History==
ASGARD underwent a series of prototype tests in the 1930s, intended to see how effective it was. When it successfully destroyed a ghost town in Arizona during a test run in 1936, the United States military was both shocked, surprised, and horrified. They obviously did not expect ASGARD to be this effective.
ASGARD's first combat trial was during Operation Downfall, the Allied invasion of Japan. It was used during Operation Olympic and Operation Coronet to destroy Imperial Japanese military installations across the Japanese Home Islands, with the intention of crippling the Imperial Japanese military and allowing for an easy victory. 
It was also used to intimidate Communist Cuba during an alternate Cuban Missile Crisis. The weapon also saw action during the Korean War against North Korea, North Vietnamese Communists during the Vietnam War, the Soviet Union itself during the Second Russian Civil War, and against Afghan militants during the Russo-Afghan War.
Sometime after this, ASGARD underwent a series of upgrades to increase effectiveness and was later renamed HYDRA, after the Greek mythical monster that could grow two heads if one was chopped off.
