The Big Bang Weapon was a super weapon built by the Vardaine scientist Doctor Ies Bredell in 2269. The weapon was designed to draw energy from the Gravity's End proto-universe phenomenon, and use that energy to fire a beam of energy at a predetermined target when conditions in the proto universe were just right. The weapon featured a cloaking device which made it undetectable, and the Big Bang Weapon was deployed near Espoir Station.
