Dalamud is not an asteroid, whose with me?

Still, it's kind of hard to believe that this was man made when their technology is like muskets and air filled pods. Looking at the garleans side their technology is so much more advanced, but our axe wielding, fist throwing, thunder casting, pure curing people can stop that. How was it made? What is it made out of? How did they lift it off the ground? How did they make it to space? If it is man made I hope all that is explained eventually.

Actually it is somewhat mentioned that it was built by an ancient civilization that predates the Allagans (or i'm derping and it was the Allagans themselves). There is supposed to be a 'transmitter' on Dalamud and a second 'transmitter' on the land. The eorzean transmitter was apparently destroyed when the Garleans misused it (it was Cid's father no less) and it obliterated an entire city in the process.
Cid suspects that the Garleans are attempting to rebuild a second transmitter and it seems to be working

It was the Allagan Empire, and that's what has been implied. I remember at one pointing reading quest text that had Cid saying something about Dalamud not being the meteor itself, rather a weapon used to literally rip stars from the sky. I can't for the life of me remember what quest this was, though. Something in the Immortal Flames.
