Around 10,000 years before the plot of Xenogears, this massive 270 kilometer long colony ship was commissioned by the Galaxy Federation. The dimensions of this ship are incredible, as can be seen in the opening sequence of the game. After the Federation created Deus and the powerful Zohar Modifier, they experimented in linking it to the ultimate weapon, the "Yahweh" Interplanetary Invasion System. This led to disaster: planet Miktam04β was destroyed by Deus when it absorbed too much energy from the Zohar. This event was pivotal in setting the events of the next 10,000 years into motion.
