*Spoilers from story*


As was stated before it was a machine created by Allag. It is currently being sent aetheric energy from crystals by the Empire, the net result is in some way to use the ancient magic of Meteor. My guess is that this floating satalite machine, Daladmud, is going to be a device that gathers energy allowing the spell to be cast. While a machine on the planet, mentioned by Cid (one he thought destroyed) will be used to control the effects of Meteor. The spell will be cast, the machine will be used to amplify it (not actually being the Meteor. Meteors will destroy parts of Eorzea, but the player in a CS necessary to transition from 1.X client to 2.0 will step in the way and stop it from being completed. Thus, allowing us to save part of Eorzea from total destruction.
