((OOC Note: Primarily for the nations in Erusea, but I will allow other Nations in, message me for permission.))
The limo pulled into the tunnel entrance of Rovakia's Military Command Center. Rovatkian Secret Service opened the door letting the Premier exit the car. Premier Yuri Zhukov exited the car and entered the military complex. Today was a very special day for Rovatkia, they had taken a step into the world of mass destruction. The military had decided not to take the path to Atomics, but to a much grander scale.
The elevator ride down was not as long as Yuri had expected but still long. He entered a large conference room with screens on the wall his military commanders stood and saluted before Yuri waved them to take a seat. He looked at the newly appointed Marshal of Rovatkian Strategic Defense and nodded for him to begin.
"Gentleman, today your budget cuts to your sectors of the military will pay off. I know each of you had special plans for that money, but this is for the better of Rovatkia and will give us a decided advantage over our neighbors in Erusea. I give you the Rovatkian Magnetic Accelerator Cannon Station or the M.A.C. Station. Yesterday it was completed in orbit and is now ready for the final test." The Marshal stated.
The General of the Army spoke up first, "What exactly does this M.A.C. Station do?" The Marshal pointed the remote at the screen and clicked bringing up and image of the Station.

"The M.A.C. Station is in essence a giant rail gun. It will fire a ten ton Projectile towards a target, upon impact the explosive force should be equivalent to a 1 megaton nuclear explosion." The General spoke up again after the explanation.
"What about fallout? Radiation?"
The Marshal shook his head, "None, it is not a nuclear bomb, so we get the power of a nuke without the mess. Today we are going to test this weapon; the Target will be the Jeahani Desert, over 200 miles of nothingness so we don’t need to worry about missing. The station can be very accurate, but it takes a long time to properly target it." The Marshal picked up a phone and ordered the Station prepare to fire.
35,790 kms above the planet.
Commander Corsin sat strapped into the command chair. He looked at his watch.
"What is the M.A.C.s charge?" he asked.
"First Capacitor System is 100%, as is the second. The Third is at 78%” An operator informed him.
"Prepare to Fire."
"Aye, Aye, Sir."
A massively load whirling sound came as the last group of Capacitors Reached full charge. Than a loud boom, klaxons went off and red alarm lights flashed. The Commander rubbed his face and looked up.
"What happened?"
"Not sure sir."
1 hour later.
"Commander the problem has been found and rectified. One of the Capacitors in group three was faulty, it has been replaced."
"Good get the charge back up."
The charged reached 100% in ten minutes time. It was finally time to test this weapon.
"Fire."
"System is Firing."
A huge ten Ton Projectile exited the end of the cannon at an extreme speed, the coating on the outside allowing it to enter the atmosphere. It streaked across the sky as a shooting star, it missed its mark by a mile, but that did little to help the mock military facility. The bright flash could be seen from orbit, and the pressure shock wave hit the mock military instillation less than a second later. The concrete building was vaporized in the ensuring fireball and blast. Windows at the observatory on the ground twenty miles away shattered, regardless of their "Non-Shattering" quality. The noise of the conference room was deathly quiet; all that could be seen was the smiles of the men around the table. The Premier allowed himself a smirk and sipped the coffee.
If that wasn't a resounded success, I don't want to see an all out failure.
