== Description ==
Template:Infobox Technology The Perdition (Also referred to as Dy-Ssk-Nomos by the QPF and as AOR 3-848K by the Anomalous Object Repository) is an enigmatic and infamous superweapon, manufactured by the Quintet Puontari Federation long before the modern-day. The Perdition is one of the only known 'arc-emitter' weapons with a very high level of destruction. First discovered in the Vault of Secrets, the Anomalous Object Repository attempted to retrieve the device, but this failed when the QPF took all artifacts from the Vault of Secrets during The Vault's Incident. In the years following the start of the WOTA, The Perdition was seen in increasing frequencies, and in many different forms. Its destructiveness was also much higher than expected, with even the largest of ships being susceptible to its damage.
The name of The Perdition derives from its distinct form of combat, and its potential damage which it is infamous for afflicting. While it was easily able to be identified, not many were able to escape if many of them were in a conflict. The Perdition was eventually used in most battles alongside the Essence of the Ancients, which made many battles in the early war decisive victories for the QPF.
War Usage
(Prehistory is to be added.)
Since The Perdition required an immense amount of energy, many known instances were on the PWV Reckoning. This is the ship which carried one of the Eternal Batteries, and was one of the most brutal warships in the War of the Ancients. Other uses of The Perdition, not connected to the Eternal Battery, were used on larger ships and in small scales. Planetary surfaces were also famously affected, with many places on important colonial outposts being burned or damaged severely by The Perdition.
Nearing the end of the War of the Ancients, The Perdition's force was equalized by the drone forces from Hindsight and Beatrix. Even with loss in the WOTA, The Perdition is still regarded to be an exceptionally deadly weapon, which still contends superweapon status to this day. Usage after the War of the Ancients plummeted, but a small recovered form of the Hummer was placed in a museum on Lowrokira. As a symbol of peace, The Perdition was no longer used to convey war, but rather the effects of it.
