Disable and destroy orders are green for Big Gun and primary area.

—TCM radio transmission

The Big Gun is the primary defense system of the planet Stroggos. It is capable of destroying larger ships in orbit, or frying smaller ships in the atmosphere through EM pulses. Its destruction would be a major blow to the Strogg war effort.

Like the earlier level Grid Control. this is something of a boss level featuring a fight with a particularly powerful foe, a Hornet. Once defeated, the player can proceed through the structure to find the controls to lock down the laser guard. This will make the Big Gun vulnerable to an airstrike, and the player must swiftly evacuate the area before it strikes.
