Class:  Olympic
Type:  Assault Space Station
Notes:  Each Olympic class assault space station is built around its own Zeus Cannon, a particle weapon designed to not just do initial impact damage but to impart enough energy to the impact site to create an explosive shock-wave (the cause of which is still currently unknown as no sensor devices to date have survived when placed close enough to the site in an attempt to measure).
Equipped with two heliotron devices; 6 million ampere class helical type nuclear fusion furnace as a power source. The heliotrons generate a 120 gigajoule magnetic field inside the Zeus Cannon’s barrel (acceleration chamber).
A 100 kilometer radius from the Zeus Cannon is a restricted area where unshielded 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 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.  This means that numerous stations are required to create staggered fire allowing those that have fired time recover.
However, a redesign is in the works that should allow for later generation units to have a consecutive firing capability of up to 200 times.
[b]Locales[/b]:  [u]Control Habitat[/u]:  A spherical control hub where all of the station’s functions and operations are controlled. The habitat is located within a magnetic field gauge. As such it has no contact points with the station frame, thus it is protected from the nuclear/spiritual energy emission and shock.
[u]Manual Control Room[/u]:  Titled the “Sarpedion” chamber, the cannon’s manual functions can be accessed here. (Sarpedion is the name of one of Zeus’ sons in Greek mythology, he was killed in the battle of Troy).
[u]Shuttle Docking[/u]:Located just below the habitat, specific shuttles that are shielded from the station’s radiation can dock and board the station from these points.
[u]Zeus Cannon[/u]:  Making up the majority percentage of the station, the original design was to have included consecutive firing capability up to 200 times.
[b]Variants[/b]:  Currently, there are two models of Zeus Cannons deployed for the Olympic class assault space station.
[u]Type I[/u]:  The original design, these Zeus Cannons fire a yellow beam that generates a secondary shockwave on impact.
[u]Type II[/u]:  Type II Zeus Cannons fire a blue-white beam that is designed for precision pin-point targeting without the secondary shockwave of the Type Is.
