The Meteor Project was a plan conceived of by Nael van Darnus whereby the Garlean Empire would re-create the lost Meteor sorcery using Allagan technology. As the project progressed, it aimed specifically to guide the descent of the lesser moon, Dalamud, onto Eorzea in order to annihilate the realm's out-of-control primal threat and resistance to Imperial rule in one motion.^[1] The realization of this plan in 1572 under the combined might of the VIIth and XIVth Imperial Legions directly led to the seventh Calamity.
