The Sun Gun.

[Graham2001]

I was going through a website called 'Damn Interesting' and spotted an article on a long forgotten Nazi Superweapon which might make for a spectacular Orbiter add-on.

It's called the Sonnengewehr or 'Sun Gun' a giant orbital mirror designed to focus the suns rays onto anything that incurred Hitlers displeasure.

Might make for the basis a "World of..." add-on as extensive ground & space infrastructure was needed to support this monstrosity.

Sounds like the Icarus satellite from Die Another Day.

Now there's a name to die for.
