What is hammer of dawn?

The "Hammer of Dawn" is a superweapon in the video game series "Gears of War." It is a space-based satellite weapon system that uses directed energy to create an intense, focused beam of light that can destroy anything in its path. The weapon was developed by the Coalition of Ordered Governments (COG) during the war against the Locust Horde.

To use the Hammer of Dawn, the user must first designate a target by using a laser designator. The satellite then fires a powerful laser beam at the designated target, which explodes on impact and causes massive damage to the surrounding area.

The Hammer of Dawn serves as a powerful tool for the COG to defend against the Locust threat, but its use is also highly controversial due to the risk of collateral damage and the potential for misuse. In the game series, the weapon has been used sparingly and always with great caution.
