History
The SOLG was originally thought up by Osea and Yuktobania. The scientists from each side were called in by the Allied Countries during the middle of the Belkan War as Belka began to take rash actions, the Allies wanted a way to end the War as quickly as possible. After seeing the power of the Excalibur, made by Belka; the Osean Head Officials decided that a similar weapon would be a wise choice.

The initial idea called for a large platform which would support a new weapons technology, known as a Linear Gun. The initial design however, had many technically obstacles to overcome. Cooling and firing the weapon as efficiently as the Excalibur was out of the Osean Military's capabilities and since their Linear Gun was not the same as the Belkan Chemical Laser technology, so it could not be bounced off of mirrors or other reflective equipment.

The SOLG was going to be scraped before it even started, until it was decided that the best platform for the SOLG was in space. It would easily carry the equipment with it's Zero Gravity, coolant was extremely plentiful due to the air vacuum and the fact that it was in orbit would give it a capability to strike anywhere.

Construction began secretly. The initial parts were sent up on SSTO craft from the Mass Driver, a Space Center located in Western Osea with a Space Catapult capable of launching ships into space with minimal fuel usage.

However, by the time it was 70%+ complete, the Belkan War had finally ended and it became useless.

It was not until the year 2010 that the SOLG was completed. However, it was not completed by any Osean, Yuktobanian or other allied country at the time. It was secretly completed by Belkan Operatives during the midst of the Circum-Pacific War. When the Belkan Operatives were discovered to be operating within each country and a combined Osean and Yuktobanian Force attacked them, they activated the SOLG and began bombarding the advancing forces.

However, it's main control panel was destroyed and it became inactive. The SOLG then went on a pre-programmed course, which would take it on a crash course with Oured, the Osean Capital City.

As it left orbit and entered the Atmosphere, it was attacked by an ex-Osean Squadron known as "The Demons of Razgriz" and was destroyed before it could impact and destroy the Osean Capital, despite the presence of two Belkan Fighter Squadrons.
