Wunderwaffe

Wunderwaffe () is German for "wonder-weapon" and was a term assigned during World War II by the German propaganda ministry to a few revolutionary "superweapons". Most of these weapons however remained more or less feasible prototypes, or reached the combat theatre too late, and in too insignificant numbers (if at all) to have a military effect. A derisive abbreviation of the term emerged: Wuwa, pronounced "voo-vah".
The V-weapons, which were developed earlier and saw considerable deployment (especially against London and Antwerp), trace back to the same pool of highly inventive armament concepts. Therefore, they are also included here.
In the new timeline, during the Domination of the Old Earth by the United League Federation, Axis, Allies, and ULF scientists begins to test the Nazi Wunderwaffe but cancelled at the outbreak of the Destruction of Earth and the League Federation Civil War. The Nazi Wunderwaffe were also cancelled by United League Federation remnants, but resumed at the outbreak of the League Federation Civil War at two planets: the New Moon, war-plane and naval projects started; and Korhal IV, were ground forces project used.

== Directed-Energy weapons ==
* Directed-energy weapon
==== Rheotron/Betatrons ====
Among the directed-energy weapons the Nazis investigated were X-Ray Beam Weapons developed under Heinz Schmellenmeier, Richard Gans and Fritz Houtermans. They built an electron accelerator called Rheotron (invented by Max Steenbeck at Siemens-Schuckert in the 1930s, these were later called Betatrons by the Americans) to generate hard X ray synchrotron beams for the Reichsluftfahrtministerium (RLM). The intent was to pre-ionize ignition in Aircraft engines and hence serve as anti-aircraft DEW and bring planes down into the reach of the FLAK. The was captured by the Americans in Burggrub on April 14, 1945.
==== Röntgenkanone ====
Another approach was Ernst Schiebolds 'Röntgenkanone' developed from 1943 in Großostheim near Aschaffenburg. The Company Richert Seifert & Co from Hamburg delivered parts.
== Mission equipment ==

== Resurrection of the Wunderwaffe==
===United League Federation===
The projects started but when the FS7 Expeditionary Fleet Invaded the Earth In 2164, causing the World League Federation to control the New Earth and the Powers League Federation who controlled the Great Earth begins to fight each other.
===United Earth Federation===
====New Moon====
The naval and aerial Wunderwaffe projects started at the New Moon, still controlled by UEF forces. The Naval projects and Aerial projects were being tested, with no incidents. However, Calliope loves something in mind - the Submarine aircraft carrier.
====Korhal IV====
The ground projects took place in Korhal IV, the only thing Calliope brought was a Pacifier Fighting Artillery Vehicle, also known as the Pacifier-class siege tanks, possibly of its appearance similar to the Siege tanks. The other thing was the Annihilator tripod. This "vehicle" can destroy anything as said by Admiral Calliope.
===Rivera Federation: Federation Strike 7===
The FS7 Never had an actual name of their airforce, until the fall of 2158, in which they concured their airforce as the Hail Airforce. Rivera, before the Rivera Federation Federation Strike 7, ever came into power, both the Rivera Federation, and the Rivera Rangerian Forces, were conducted of 2 separate air forces, the Hell Flyers In 990,000,000B.E. (Rivera Federation), And the Luftwaffe in 988,000,000B.E., (Rivera Rangerian Forces) The FS7, did contain a large Quality of Wunderwaffe starting from 2158 to 2289, during the events of both the Universal, And Rivera Federation Wars, that Contained of Riviera Core Walkers, Nero Tanks, and the RHM Hail Fire, the Super Battleshup/Planet Cracker large enough to rip a surface off of a Planet and lift it off into Orbit above, in the far reaches of Space. After the Rivera Federation War all FS7 Wunderwaffe's including It's designs and secrets were lost.
