Dalamud is not an asteroid, whose with me?

Its a ball of super condensed negative aether that has become solid mass. That's what I think at least. I'm more than likely wrong and it's just a moon to a moon. :3 Myself, I don't actually think that when they say "Meteor" they actually mean a physical piece of rock floating in space, but the process of making something from space crash into the planet being a meteor itself. If that makes any sense, but that's all I have to say.

It's a man-made star. Says it somewhere in the game, I think in one of the newest GC quests.

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

I don't think it matters, the way SE are with targets atm it'll probably miss.

Am I the only one who thinks Dalamud is not an asteroid?

I think it's an egg of some sort. Super mega egg of wave existence...

I think it will merge with the current world...Think Spirits Withiin movie...and cause a renewal.

What Asteroid is Red and has Purple Electric things floating in it? :/ ( though at first I thought it was till I saw the purple.. lol)

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.

Dalamund, from my understanding, is an artificial satellite(said a few times already, I know) though it's original purpose is still, at the moment, unknown. Based on the (possible) fact that there will be multiple new enemy types emerging after Dalamund hits, so it is plausible to say that it may have been used as a prison to contain the more aggressive mobs of the Allagan's era, Furthermore, It is currently being used as ammunition for a transmitter capable of pulling down celestial bodies. So we're screwed...
