The remaining Katharon forces were decimated by the A-Laws mobile suits defending the Memento Mori, until Setsuna F. It used this ability to destroy half of the ships in Katharon's first fleet. However during this time the Memento Mori showed that it was not only capable to fire on Earth but also into space. At the same time, the Katharon deployed their entire fleet to destroy the weapon. The A-Laws had plans to eradicate any Katharon base they can find. Later, Memento Mori was seen destroying the Kingdom of Richera in a single shot. A-Laws successfully vaporized Suille instantly with a single blast, nearly destroying several nearby Federation Army units as well. To accelerate the unification of the world, Ribbons decided to activate the Memento Mori to test its capabilities and wipe out Kingdom of Suille at the same time. Wang Liu Mei was Ribbon's sponsor for the project in their mutual beliefs to Aeolia Schenberg's plan for planetary unification and preparing humanity into space. It is unknown when the Memento Mori was designed or built, but Innovator's Ribbons Almark forwarded the technology to the Federation for development. It is unknown how many were intended to be made, but at least two were known to be made. In Celestial Being's case, the quickest solution was to use 00 Gundam's Trans-Am Raiser to create an ultra-sized beam saber to cut down the weapon(s). It is very difficult to destroy and/or penetrate its thickly armored body without superior firepower. Should the chamber be destroyed or damaged, the Memento Mori's energy systems will overload and will result in a chain reaction explosion the chamber itself is built under the right side of its hull armor. Its greatest weakness is its "electromagnetic resonator", a component critical to firing the Memento Mori. In addition, because the Memento Mori is primarily an area bombardment weapon, it is unable to target rapidly moving targets accurately and is extremely ineffective against targets that are either fast or small enough to dodge the beam it fires. Thirdly, although the Memento Mori is extremely powerful, the weapon itself suffers from a long charge-up time, thus making it unable to fire in rapid succession. Secondly, the satellite weapon itself is stationary, making it a very vulnerable stand-alone weapon without the protection of an A-Laws battle fleet. The Memento Mori makes up for this by anticipating the movement of enemy targets and firing at the enemy from long-range before the enemy can reach their intended destination. The weapon suffers from a limited firing angle (approximately 30-45 degrees from vertical) relative to distance resulting in a cone-like blind spot. However, Memento Mori has several key flaws that make it a strategic weapon rather than a tactical weapon. The weapon itself can fire downward to raze any target on Earth (relative to the side of the planet it is facing) or upwards into space from where it is stationed it draws power from the solar power generation system and utilizes a particle accelerator for operations, both of which are installed within the orbital ring. It has the destructive yield of a nuclear weapon, and is capable of instantly vaporizing an entire small country off the map. Memento Mori is a satellite free-electron laser strafing device installed onto the lower orbital ring of the solar satellite system.
